🎤 LYRICS
(HOOK – dès 0:00, chant de foule + drop amapiano sec)
"Abantu rise! Ayeye, izandla phezulu! Mzansi stand up!"
Kasi to kasi, block to block
We build the dream, we never stop
Log drum thump, bass so mean
We shine together, forever clean
(Verse 1)
Ng’bona ama-youth ekasi, drip on point
Hustle everyday, never disappoint
"Sharp-sharp" ngikhuluma no crew
We talk change, not just the view
From Soweto heat to Maseru chill
Mbabane nights, we plan the deal
Eish, amandla ethu aphezulu
Unity strong, akekho ozosidiliza
(Pre-Chorus)
Hands together – feel that flame
No fake love, we run this game
Ubuntu strong, kasi vibe
Abantu rise, side by side
(Chorus)
Abantu rise – we own the day
S’khuphuka sonke, clear the way
Zulu voice, Basotho pride
Swazi heart, we never hide
(Verse 2)
From ekasi corner to varsity halls
We break the limits, we break the walls
Sip the groove, dance for the cause
Shout it loud, we make the laws
Ayeye! Drop hit heavy – crowd go mad
We the future, and the past we had
No going back, we here to win
Abantu rise – let’s begin
(Bridge)
Shisa! Step in sync, beat so deep
Kasi spirit, we never sleep
Log drum boom, we lift the town
Abantu rise, we hold the crown
(Final Chorus + outro)
Abantu rise – from street to stage
New chapter, we write the page
Mzansi, Lesotho, Swazi unite
This is our time, we own the night
