In this groovy jam, Zambia’s Mr Consistency Jay Rox emerges with this Umoja Sounds produced banga ‘Designer’ in praise of a lady who knows how to hustle entrepreneurially.
He sings and raps about a Ms Thandi who works hard for her money and how she dispels societal myths about ladies or young ladies who love the fine things in life, those who love to wear designer things and expensive jewellery.
Jay Rox paints a lyrical picture of how she loves to show up at parties and make heads turn with her stunning appearance, while appearing normal and regular in some days. She balances her lifestyle in the sense that people are awed at her, some to the point of becoming jealous of her accomplishments and social regard.
Whereas society is quick to judge the source of her expensive acquisitions, she actually does multiple jobs and enterprises in order that she may facilitate that lifestyle.
Overall, in ‘Designer’ Jay Rox talks about hard working women who love the fancy things in life. Because the perception is always that sugar daddies are the financiers behind young women living lavishly, yet they are just
Chorus
She a crazy lover of the finer things in designer
Balenciaga to define her things in designer
She wanna pull up and to kill it at a party
Ukawama panja vifika mukati
She wanna pull up and to kill it at the party
Nibandani bangafike nibangati
Oh Lord have mercy
Oh Lord have mercy
Verse 1
She’s a big buyer not a window shopper
With a thick skin tougher than a mpapa
There’s many rumors that she gat a big papa
Baganiza that she don’t make money proper
Ms Thandi got a way of making money
A makeup artist in the day very handy
Village banking on the side with some discipline
She just trying to get her life out of mississi
She never the type to follow mufololo
Apanga money naku pasa makolo
Never the type to follow zigolo
But when she’s in designer she ain’t keeping lolo
Chorus
She a crazy lover of the finer things in designer
Balenciaga to define her things in designer
She wanna pull up and kill at a party
Ukawama panja vifika mukati
She wanna pull up and to kill it at the party
Nibandani bangafike nibangati
Oh Lord have mercy
Oh Lord have mercy
Verse 2
She’s a big buyer not a window shopper
In her Gucci top she be looking dapper
Believes in herself they thinking she’s a nkaka
They be hating cause baby alina tanta
Ms Tinta got a business where she sales veggie
In the morning at the market you can’t tell that is
Same Tinta that’s on TikTok
Same Tinta that you picturing in flip flops
She’s not the type that will follow mufololo
Afaka nchito naka dream kusogolo
Not the type that will follow zigololo
But when she’s in designer she ain’t keeping lolo
Chorus
She a crazy lover of the finer things in designer
Balenciaga to define her things in designer
She wanna pull up and to kill it at a party
Ukawama panja vifika mukati
She wanna pull up and to kill it at the party
Nibandani bangafike nibangati
Oh Lord have mercy
Oh Lord have mercy
