md lyonga - md lyonga - my ancestors (a story of us) lyrics

ehn ehn, i swallow spit
my brother’s like
i’m not african, i’m christian
and i’m like… ok!
it’s easier to believe in anything else
but us
your spirituality is nothing else but
my common sense
but wait, what’s your definition of spirituality
ma’a know if e make sense
love is law and family is business
take away love and all of this is lifeless
i grew up in the ghetto what we thought came from nothing
nothing came from something
and something from another thing
i’m a scientific poet, life lessons
break it down from medu neter
mother nature like thesis
i stand in the middle of my left and right brain
i introspect but i also respect the next man
after watching my brother proselytize
got me thinking the same life i used idolize
like i love to hate you
but i hate that i love you
i hate myself trying to prove that i love
this philosophy’s so lame
we all part of the very maze
if i sow seeds today, i expect a better day
they say if blessings go up, blessings come down
but the singers are still broke, and we know them for that town
like ekema, always needing something to believe in
he don’t believe in himself
they told him that was the wrong thing
so he drinking holy water, holy oil
eating holy gr-ss
i’m wondering who the —- he’s fooling
and enanga always giving her money to the preacher man
her hard earned money
speculating she will get the blessing
they told her it’s called faith, so i’ll wait
and after she’s 48, it’s still fake
we’re a failure so we make-believe to console ourselves
who taught me to love my enemies and hate myself
i woke up and started a journey to know myself, and love myself
recognize my health is my wealth
d-mn!
charlatans messing up my day
propagating acculturation to control my ways
ma time, my money
my life, my body
let’s pray
my mind never colonized again
my ancestors, way-paved us
sea sailors, star readers
goddess, eternal
legendary, legendary
i said my ancestors, way-paved us
sea sailors, star readers
goddess, eternal
royalty, royalty, royalty

the song is dedicated to anybody who is just a truth seeker, critical thinker
hmm just skeptical from an ontological perspective, laws of logic
just to be aware, you know what i’m saying?
just to know what is and what’s not
and what’s meant by this or that
yup, it’s all love man, it’s all love
