Sundiata (feat. Suli Breaks)

I came with the spirit of Sundiata

I can never be afraid

I came with the energy of Shaka

You go think say I craze

I came as the child of my father

I give thanks and praise

And I came with the spiritual armour

Make the anointing spray

First of all make I pour before man proceeds

There's a silent war up in DRC

F your poverty porn and the thrills you seek

The New Africa is born to fulfil the dream

Can't forget the powers that's instilled in me

I know say there's powers that be shielding me

I told them from Band Aid to BBC

That we the Africans who know what the children need

So fall back we can kick it on our own

Black man stand up we sitting on the throne

Ruling everywhere yeah we killing up the globe

And we building back at home

In a different kind of zone

I came with the spirit of Sundiata

I can never be afraid

I came with the energy of Shaka

You go think say I craze

I came as the child of my father

I give thanks and praise

And I came with the spiritual armour

Make the anointing spray

You'll never ever ever ever know what it feel like

Pretend to be someone else in a real life

You could never be yourself coz it feel like

For the sake of the salary

You had to put your pride to the side

It cost to have a dream

My CV was written in European

Said I was captured through the eurolens

Too much baggage being African

We used to pretend to Caribbean

Now I feel it in my soul

Do re mi Burkina Faso

But they will never show or give us the glory

The hunter the hero till the Lion start tell his story

I came with the spirit of Sundiata

I can never be afraid

I came with the energy of Shaka

You go think say I craze

I came as the child of my father

I give thanks and praise

And I came with the spiritual armour

Make the anointing spray

I came with the spirit of Sundiata

I can never be afraid

I came with the energy of Shaka

You go think say I craze

I came as the child of my father

I give thanks and praise

And I came with the spiritual armour

Make the anointing spray

Welcome to SONA

We are the Sons Of the New Africa

Where the Sounds Of Nature Anchor us

From the land of Suya, Okadas, Nkrumah, Ankaras

From Sakumono, Ojuelegba, Narobi to Accras

We sing Songs Originally Narrated by Ancestors

To create Science, Ointments, Navigation, Algebras

We birthed the Sojouners, Obasanjo, Nelson, Angelas

We survived Oppression Neglect and Adversity

Coz we Saw Opportunity and Negotiated Advantages

No longer Sub-par, Ok-ish, Novice or Amateurs

Black is excellence

African is excellence

We fought against the fires they used to try and burn us

Did they forget that we were children of the sun

So we rose from the ashes

Filled with the Spirits Of the New Africa

Where the Sounds Of Nature Anchor us

From Stories Of Naughty Ananses

To Surviving Over Nights of Atrocities

This is SONA

This is honour

Coz they came for our Sounds

Then the came for our Organs

They came for our Nature

Then they came for Africa

And now it's time we took it back
