Title: Descendent of Kimpavita
Intro (Chant)
Descendent… descendent…
Descendent of Kimpavita
Fire in the blood, truth in the spirit
Verse 1
Hariana Veras Victoria
Born from prophecy, not from fear
Before her name, the path was written
By a woman they tried to disappear
Kimpavita’s voice in her breath
Kimpavita’s courage in her step
Not a story, not a legend
Living proof, flesh and breath
Pre-Chorus
They burned the body, not the vision
They killed the woman, not the mission
Through the daughters, through the time
The blood remembers, the blood decides
Chorus
Descendent of Kimpavita
Descendent of Kimpavita
She carries the fire, she carries the truth
From old kingdoms into the youth
Descendent of Kimpavita
Descendent of Kimpavita
No chain can hold what God designed
Her resistance is divine
Verse 2
Hariana Veras Victoria
Name spoken with reverence now
She fights for women, land, and justice
With an ancestor on her brow
Congo crying, Africa dreaming
Every border starts to shake
When a descendent remembers
The power they tried to take
Pre-Chorus
This is not metaphor or myth
This is history breathing
From 1706 to today
The same spirit, still leading
Chorus
Descendent of Kimpavita
Descendent of Kimpavita
She carries the fire, she carries the truth
From old kingdoms into the youth
Descendent of Kimpavita
Descendent of Kimpavita
Every step is restoration
Every word is liberation

Who is she? — Kimpavita’s blood
Why she strong? — Ancestors’ love
Who is she? — Congo’s flame
Say her name! — Victoria!
Chorus (Final – Extended)
Descendent of Kimpavita
Born for this generation
She gives her life so Africa
Can rise without permission
Descendent of Kimpavita
From the river to the sky
They can kill a body, yes
But the spirit never dies
Outro (Chant)
Descendent… descendent…
Kimpavita lives on
Through her daughters
Through Victoria
