odinani Lyrics

The dead they're there (dead), goddamn (repeat)

Was born with it

Yeah I drip with the scent

And I'm sworn in it

From my name, heaven sent

Ain't no graduation

No shit to prove

I don't owe you shit, won't tell you about you

Mind my business, make my name gleam

Make my papa proud, see my mama sleep peacefully

On her earth ship, with my starseed

I'm not focused on the shit you think you need from me

Mutual flow the only way I go

Equal exchange the only thing I know

Only got the best for me and my crew

Yeah you know it's a special kind of groove

You not fucking with me?

I don't care about you

Won't lift a finger when I'm with gang

Ancestors on my back they make my shit bang

Fuck with the notion that we was kings

I got all this royalty flowing through my veins

No matter what you want, no matter what you say

It's rolling off of me, it's growing everyday

I see my fortune full, I know just what's mine

Try and take that shit nigga? Imma show you the light

My grandmama was born in 1929

After Nri been long gone, before Biafra plight

And in me she lives on, coming alive at night

Yeah that phoenix call to go get what's mine

And she there (dead)

The dead they're there (dead), goddamn (repeat)

The dead, the dead, the dead dance

They're here with us, hear them chant

Yeah onye kwe to the man

Chi ya ekwe yeah I am

Future, present, and the past

Cosmis shit with Telfar bags

Gold bling while I'm popping tags cause

My spirit wealthy like that

Yeah, yeah

I let her feel that

Not all spirits come to pass

They're bored so we let them dance

Cause the dead they're dead (there) goddamn

...

Let the dead dance, let the dead dance, let the dead dance goddamn
