letra de ovim (intro) - kelechief

my look at how times flown
look at how i’ve grown
since we dropped going home
n-ggas ask what i been on:
it’s been a ride…
this sh-t has been a ride
before the pandemic
shook a hundred thousand hands
ran the nation in a van
met some homies and some fans
my brother met his bride
then his kid arrived
im seeing life from the vision
so excuse my conviction
but put you in my position
it’d be hard for me to minimize the sh-t i write
let it ride
no wahala no biggie
i’m two hundred. 4 fifties
young son of both cities
if you tryna go with me, oya get inside
get inside…
and i’ll take you atlagos
my mom and my dads house
they threatened to send me home whenever i’d act out
before a n-gga ended up taking this rap route
back before kelechi had what these n-ggas would call clout
chose music over school
me and mama would fall out
she ain’t know i was in her bas-m-nt pouring my soul out
i knew that i had the drive, i just prayed i ain’t stall out
i know something
even if i don’t figure it all out
at least imma go home
look mama i’m going home
tell uncle to k!ll the goat
tell aunty to pound the yam
tell n-ggas prepare the throne
told n-ggas i’m going home
been told n-ggas i’m going home
tell uncle to k!ll the goat
tell aunty to pound the yam
tell n-ggas prepare the throne…

…for the international pop sensation
mouth piece of my pop’s generation
facilitating the conversation
of “africa to the world”
now the world coming back
who else will take it, if not the akata generation?
it’s gotta be us
show’em culture lives in the people and not in the dust
now who go say i no be naija, it’s not in my blood?
now i can see it all aligning, its time to discusss
and god’s timing is the best, so we not in a rush
i feel it happening now
so i wrap the igbo in paper and pass it around
just know i said it before they pass my casket around
and put my ass in the ground
i hear’em asking about
me calling it “home” knowing i ain’t ever gone
my n-gga raise your vibration and lower your tone
you ever felt something resonate somewhere deep in your soul?
you ever felt there was something deeper than what you been told?
how it sound like when colonizers return what they stole?
how it sound when we got receipts for the bodies they sold?
that came back through the music
though the left on a boat
the realest sh-t that i wrote
i’m going back to my folks
when i say that i’m going home
told yall i was going home
ride with me, i’m going home
