Lyrics
[Spoken Intro,] (ETHNIC WEST AFRICAN FEMALE ECHOING VOICE)
[SPOKEN]
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, and clear the path for me!
[Verse 1]
(The heavy 4/4 kick drops. Hard percussion. Vocals are gritty and powerful)
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. Powerhouse 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]
