Omowale Lyrics by BANTU (Crew)

Bantu

2004

[Verse 1: Don Abi]
I heard about an old time alchemist
In ancient land too far to be seen
With the eyes of any living creature or human being
Covered up in clouds of swallowed dreams
Humble yourself and open up within let your light shine properly
[Verse 1: Ade Bantu]
As the soul catch fire
And them Babylonians pay for dem wicked ways
We retreat from the craze
Heading down south for the place
Where the spirits gaze n’ the soul meditates
Elevates metaphysical states
Beyond the heard, seen and was
There is a LOVE reinforced in the ways of GODS
Man’s gotta overstand to plough the land
Make it all happen with a strike of hand
Creatively visualise a new paradise
Go beyond the victimised victims people
Destroy the evil
[Chorus]
Omowalé k’emi re le bale
F’okan sibi t’aye dun
Je ki ileri bosi o
Omowalé k’emi re le bale
F’okan sibi t’aiye dun
Je ki ileri bosi o
Iré... Iré...
[Verse 2: Don Abi]
On the camels back i rode through the sinking sand
With my bare feet i walked on your wasted land
With my God given hands i began to plant
Only joy n’ happiness in command
[Verse 2: Ade Bantu]
Stressed out expressions all written on their face
The way they carry body and mind shows low grace
Laid to rest, laid to waste, they count their days
Imprisoned promises harbouring broken dreams
It’s the shadow of self in search of wealth
Men knowing fully well they’ve marked their graves There’s no escape slaving n’ clocking
Hunched back labouring
As long as denying is the basis of surviving
We’ll miss mothers calling ancestors warning
Multiple choice unified as one voice
It’s BANTU & Djoloff here to bring the noise
[Chorus]
Omowalé k’emi re le bale
F’okan sibi t’aye dun
Je ki ileri bosi o
Omowalé k’emi re le bale
F’okan sibi t’aiye dun
Je ki ileri bosi o
Iré – alafia
Iré- Ayo pupo
Omowalé k’emi re le bale
F’okan sibi t’aye dun
Je ki ileri bosi o
Omowalé k’emi re le bale
F’okan sibi t’aiye dun
Je ki ileri bosi o
