letra de the renaissance - dasuki

intro

(kemena) well
(edword) say the word
(itsmosa) yep, itsmosa
(kemena) well, good music is back and is here to stay
it’s here to stay…so i’ll never let you down
down into the ground

chorus (edword)

we are marching out with a purpose
marching with the sound (marching with the sound)
this is the revival of the art
and we’re coming for your heart
and so much more
so no more sitting on the fence (hey!)
na we be the last line of defense (hey!)
the substance you prayed for
the renaissance from the core
whoo!

verse 1

most introspective bar for bar, bar none
my folklore is folks law who can raise the bar? none
every bar is a bar mitzvah meets ayinde barrister-
rite of passage meets relic of a past age
but ‘fore we part ways i clear pathways to help kids walk the straight and narrow in these last of the last days
so oga sidon look stand clear
for that daily bread these kids run circles around grand square
mandem been hustling back when
my favorite radio ads were john player gold leaf and aspen
my friends, docking police to have them then proceeded to igbo, reefer, hash d-mn
as for motives no need to ask them
the root of evil stems l-st, leave us to branch in
i rep for those kids who don’t sleep in apartments
daydreaming they stay scheming, believing, amen

hook (kemena)
i heard you’re going down (well)
down into the ground (well)
i heard you’re going back (well)
back into the sound (well)
so i’ll never let you down (well)
down into the ground (well)
down into the ground (well)
back into the sound

verse 2

step into the booth and the flow’s tidal
infect them with the truth till it goes viral
lift heads of abused mums and poor wives who
taught us to shoot for the stars you need no rifle
beautiful queens who were never bestowed titles
only testaments to their reverence? old bibles
oh—and better men who don’t hide to
show their deference for what’s no trifle
you don’t understand the man, then don’t try to
just learn to appreciate mummy more, and your wife too
bayelsa to borno, sokoto to songhai
queens in every koro who through palaver don strive
to make sure we all dey alive and well
heaven sent, even when their life was h-ll
i won’t call names because it’s
doing those not called injustice
so this just is for every good woman—
much love sis

chorus (edword)

we are marching out with a purpose
marching with the sound
this is the revival of the art
and we’re coming for your heart
and so much more
so no more sitting on the fence
na we be the last line of defense
the substance you prayed for
the renaissance from the core
whoo!
