OMO ORISHA Lyrics

Emi kan pelu awon orisha

Omo Orisha

No es lati irawo

Irawo

No number of unyielding opinions,

Radical views, or zealous contention,

Can rupture the undying belief

That I am spiritually complete,

In fact, this knowledge is beyond belief,

Considering that belief contains a fragment of doubt,

while faith, is knowing, and in me there is no doubt

I don't presume, speculate, or entertain those who debate this

I am secure in my faith and the actuality of my greatness

Excuse me while I brush the dirt off my shoulders

Of those who hate this

I'm not one to deny my truth just to conform

I can't fake this

It is metaphysical

But I can scientifically explain

That all carbon organic matter was originally made

In the stars

It took Billions of years to make me

From hydrogen and helium

To carbon, It's all in my DNA

My brain cells, blood, flesh and my vertebrae

Moreover,I'm birthed by the energy of a supernova

Better known as Ashé

I'm packed with all the elements of the earth

Even greater, I'm composed of the secrets of the stars

And the universe

However

I know my worth beyond scientific theories

I know that inside of me are 401 Orisha energies

Some see this living force as human deities

That's okay, because either way

You're still acknowledgingand I salute you,

Alafia Ashé, Ashé Ashé O

Show me some respect

I'm over 15 billion years old

This ain't my first rodeo

I've been here many times before

I'm from the heavens

The sacred realm known as Orun

That top secret, binary coded

Zero point gravity

That the military is researching,

Is the African Yoruba Science of Odu

Yes I know it's true

Pause.

I'm not looking for validation from those who disbelieve

Like you

I was conceived in Ifá

Already seeded with infinite knowledge

It is inherited

Not the kind of knowledge you might get

From books in college

It's not that I know everything

That is stored inside of me consciously

I have Iwa Pele,

Good character and morality

I humble myself to just what the universe believes I need

I chose my Guardian Orisha

Within seven days after birth

I knew a woman's worth first,

And that the she is mother of the universe

Although we are crowned into the mysteries,

In reality, I was initiated once I left the womb

Of a Queen with African DNA in her genes

I'm everything, all in all

I'm part of God, the ancestors and Orisha

No matter what anyone says

I KNOW this to be true

I don't just know this about me

Abure

I also know this about you

Emi kan pelu awon orisha

Omo Orisha

No es lati irawo

Irawo
