Lyrics

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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
