IDA

[INTRO] (ETHNIC WEST AFRICAN FEMALE ECHOING VOICE) [SPOKEN],(ETHNIC WEST AFRICAN FEMALE ECHOING VOICE, CALM AND CONFIDENT TONE) My heart does not flutter, for I hold the sword in my hand. Ogun !, is the master of iron,....Oya ! ..is the mistress of the wind. Come and bless your child....clear the path for me! [Verse 1] (SOULFUL DIVA VOCALS) I am the anvil that breaks every hammer A lightning strike in a world full of stammer My marrow is forged in the furnace of Ogun... The tides of my spirit are pulling the moon I don’t just walk, I am the ...earthquake’s ground A silence so heavy it swallows the sound. [Pre-Chorus] (Aggressive Trumpet Stabs begin. Shakers intensify) The wind of Oya is filling my sail A heart made of iron, I never can fail They see the spark, but I am the flame A warrior’s spirit, a sacred name! [Chorus] (FULL DROP. DEEP AFRO- LATIN house Trumpets lead the melody. High-energy Soulful Diva vocals in Yoruba) Àyà mi ò fò, mo mú Idà lọ́wọ́! (My heart does not flutter!) Ogun l'oní irin, mo jẹ́ irin títí! (Ogun owns iron, I am iron forever!) Oya l'oní afẹ́fẹ́, mo jẹ́ ìjì l'órí ilẹ̀! (Oya owns wind, I am the storm on the land!) Idá mi, abo mi, aṣẹ mi! (My shield, my protection, my power!) [Verse 2] (Music strips back to just the driving bass and woodblocks. Very rhythmic) The river doesn’t ask for permission to flow I am the seed and the forest that grows My ancestors breathe through the brass and the horn In the heat of the rhythm, a giant is born Pour the molten gold into the cracks of my soul NZØ on the throne, I am taking control. [Bridge / Percussion Break] (Vocals stop. Massive African drum solo. Talking drums conversing with heavy brass stabs) [Drum Solo: Intense, polyrhythmic tribal percussion] [Trumpet Fanfare: Aggressive and triumphant] [Vocal Ad-lib: "Ogun! Oya! Aṣẹ!"] [Chorus] (Maximum Volume. Layered Diva harmonies) Àyà mi ò fò, mo mú Idà lọ́wọ́! Ogun l'oní irin, mo jẹ́ irin títí! Oya l'oní afẹ́fẹ́, mo jẹ́ ìjì l'órí ilẹ̀! Idá mi, abo mi, aṣẹ mi! [Outro] (The trumpets sustain long, powerful notes over the fading drum beat) My heart does not flutter... I hold the sword... [Final Trumpet Blast] [End] 1m ago
