Kurunmi Is On the Way Lyrics

Kurunmi Is On the Way - Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band

...

Lately when we see them, they talk about change

They say it is their turn now to be leaders of the

People

Tell them I've been there many many times before

And no one can trick me with honey mouth again.

Lately when we meet them they flex their muscles

Up

The talk about bravery and courage never seen

Tell them I know book o and heroes wey no beg

Real man na for action, no be for mouth o.

Here comes the fire-eating guy

My lord with arrows in his eyes and burning anger

Let no one stand in his way

This land will never be the same again.

Here comes the fire-spitting guy

Aare Kurunmi is on the way with his sword of

Justice

Warn all the liars and pretenders

The day of reckoning is here, beware!

Lately when we see them, they talk about their

Conquests

The many battles fought in the trenches for your

Rights

If you ask for evidence na award you go see

And many many honours from foreign bodies o.

See them on the street now preaching to the

Crowd

The true test of a leader is to lead right in front

And be responsible when things go wrong

No be to dey run and make excuse o.

Children you will learn and you must never forget

The past is full of heroes from whom we can

Learn

And real lessons to guide us today

Many many stories to make us proud too.

Lately when we meet them they count up their

Losses

The pains and the scars of their vain struggle o

Kurunmi lost five sons all in a day

But he never wavered till the very last stand

Okunrin ogun ni Kurunmi o, ki s'ojo

Akinkanju ni Kurunmi o, ki s'ole
