Legendary ft. Poetra Asantewa & Haywaya Lyrics

In case you see smiles on our faces

See smiles on our faces

Know that we carry your light

Your art reminds us that a god oo, god oo

Exists somewhere in our hearts

When you create

Stories come alive

We are not qualified to sing your name

Sing your name

You, you'll rule for centuries to come

We will not forget your works

Young boy with a dream

Motivated by Da Grin

Mo yi ron ti ojo ti mo ko ko gbo yoruba rapper lo ri beat

I was like ah! who be this?

Wey dey chop beat like beans

Da kai bari yasoosin jikiina ka tashi wa, gave me tools to achieve

My dreams

Now ima rap fella

Da kai daga hausa rap

Tryna to find ways to kaama mataa, life of a hard rapper

But when I listen to Fela

I realize music na power

I realize waka ne abin guda da zei gama mutaanei together

The sound of the horns of hugh masekela

Makes the African in me want to jump out like hellur

Kojo antwi, with the melodies

Lauryn hill, with the energy

And I learnt how to be a bad boy when I listen to Daddy Lumba

Everyday na kai jin su fa

With one heart na kai bin su fa

Hin ka taba jin, wakookin su

Ka san what im talking about

Revolutionary with the voice

Empowering us with the music

Nagoode muku da ababei da ku ka goda mini

I'll make you proud I swear

You, you'll rule for centuries to come

We will not forget your works

Our legends are born and put to work on the count of three

They take their brokenness and shapeshift into artistry

Creating melody that becomes code for your body to move

1,2,3 1,2,3 fitting joy and pain into one groove

Soothing, relatable, sensual, on the beat

I can never run out of words to describe what music makes one feel

So clap, for the feeling of belonging when you heard that song

Clap, when you played it twenty eight times to let go that wrong

Clap clap, when you found God sitting on the fifth note in a singer's line

Clap clap, when the rapper's second verse echoed your sentiments to a T

Clap clap, for the composers, producers, songwriters and artists

Clap clap, for the unnamed and behind the scenes who make music come alive

You, you'll rule for centuries to come

We will not forget your works

You, you'll rule for centuries to come

We will not forget your works
