Oríkì

I am all the branches of my family tree

I am Ayoola, Taiwo, Olojo, Falana, Banjoko, Adeleye

I am the aso ebi and gele, ankara and agbada

I am the stories passed down from our grandfathers

I am the remedies taught by our grandmother

I am tribal marks, tradition, and culture

I am Funmilayo and Fela Kuti

I am JJ Okocha, I am palm wine and agbo

I am afrobeats, fuji, and highlife

I am the bittersweet reality of dual nationality

I am hall parties, supermalt, and flying one dollar notes

Air Force Ones I wore to my white garment church

I am the transverse waves of the talking drum

I know where I am from
