Beach Of The War Goddess

Lyrics
Eshu

Ma se mi o

Omo elemera mi o se
Eshu la roye a bamba

Eshu la roye a na bona a nobata

O fe bata ko duko bawo bamo
Eshu ya go fun mi lona
Kini se temi fi owo o mi gbo de lorun o
Eni ti omo o duduwo
O duduwa fi owo mi ma je kin bere o
Omo ododumare a fi mi jo afin
A fi orun mi no
Emi ni omo o duduwa
Odudumare ma je ki ri ijaye eshu
Odudumare a se

Yo, Kuna Lady is in the house
I got Kwabena by my side

The War Goddess is definitely in here
The Babalawo is definitely in here
A Cinderella is definitely in there
And Kuna Lady is definitely in there
Now listen to the rhythm of the magic man
Nuff respect to the Goddess and the Caravan
Said no more bowing to another man
Guess who's coming to the motherland

La la la
La la la
La la la
La la la

Years I have gone
I am living in a war zone
Poison of my enemy
Blatantly attacking me
War Goddess arise your power
Now indeed this is your hour
Time to be here literally
Constantly convincing me
War

La la la
La la la

Back to life, straight up to reality
Let me explain how things used to be
As a black girl living in society
Things have been hard, not too good for me

Words from assorted
I advance, I hold them to my breast
Shield always ready
I am used to living at the edge
Life is an ocean
And our souls provide the ocean bed
Nuff illumination
For this generation
War

La la la
La la la

Versatile and hard like cement
Right along we want independence
Truth that we trust and that will prevent
Cinderella from keep silent
Me no want them to bow to them fairy types
'Cause Cinderella are the people's type
Watch me now people, me nah dress
Kwabena and me, we are two goddess

The Goddess said that no one could defeat us
'Cause no other man ever beat us
The opposite of what they tell
We got weak and we beat ourselves
This is the age of the new wave minds
Ancestors shedding light from the early times
Giving ideas to me with the funky rhymes
Giving answers to you in these funky times

La la la
La la la

The War Goddess is definitely in here
The Babalawo is definitely in here
A Cinderella is definitely in there

And Kuna Lady is definitely in here
The War Goddess is definitely in here
The Babalawo is definitely in here

A Cinderella is definitely in here
Is definitely in here
Sister, mother, sister, sister
The War Goddess
Mother

Because Kuna Lady is definitely in here
Sweet tender
Oh, my lover
We got weak and we beat ourselves
