Ọ́lẹlẹ (The Process Story) Lyrics

Ewa don't be proud

Ewa don't be proud, Olele's who you are

Ewa such a beautiful being (Bean)

But the path to your purpose too dark

Brown and proud you need to sit still

So we can pick off your dirt in a sieve still

Put a fist in, as you're immersed in that water

And smashed in that order just feel it

In that water your self is hijacked

And your brown skin white like Mike Jack

You may break into bits and I know how it feels

But the sorrow you'll feel isn't like that

Glory that comes when it's ended

Next you'll be blended but that ain't the end yet

By the time we get you to the grind

Olele then don't you cry

Olele don't you cry

Olele don't you cry

Olele don't you cry

Olele don't you cry

Olele don't you cry

Olele don't you cry

Olele don't you cry

Olele don't you cry

Ewa don't you cry, Olele's who you are

Ewa broken into bits on the way to becoming your true self

The process cannot be through yet

Till you been in the grind and been through there

A broken bean but not a broken thing

But when you broke and hungry you think that you get it

I'm praying that you would churn out good

Or repeat the process to make you turn out smooth

I know it is a lot to take in but the fire's coming

If you yield to it you gon' be fire-storming

The forge will shape you, with its heat will make you

A discerner of great good if you come out solid

And now you solid you think that you've got it

But the day you kick ass ain't the day to relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Olele don't relax

Ewa don't relax

Olele now you done been through the sieve

Been through the rain

Been through the heat and brown

But you ain't clay

Few minutes out the pot and you wan' say

Aye, clay we're the same

But you're gon' waste

If you spent two good days on the shelf

We gon' lose useful space 'cause you gon' smell

So, you journey on to your purpose now

Pleasing to God, feeding royals now

I know it looks hopeless but it's your ascension

Into dimensions not soil's ground

So, you're in our prayers or in our royals

One with the ones who reward our toils

One way or another, tonight Olele you are the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man (Aye)

Olele you're the man (Aye)

Olele you're the man (You're the man)

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Olele you're the man

Ewa won't be long

Olele please be strong

This one's dedicated to you

Olele this is your song

This is for everyone going through the process right now

This is for everyone taking the heat right

Go through the process, you'll come out fine

Your purpose is in the process
