A sweet sonic plea for consciousness, inspired by Davina Oriakhi’s personal journey into “hidden african history”. She relates the struggle of Africans to the scripture Hosea 4v6 which says “My people perish for lack of knowledge”.
Verse 1:
They have rewritten, our history
Left no traces, a mystery
Buried our systems underneath the ground
Where we stomp our feet and play our music loud
They have succeeded in reprogramming
Found a religion in the lies and schemes
And we are victim to the trespassing
Of our Spirit's minds and our bodies
Our bodies
Don’t fall back
Our bodies
Don't fall back
Our bodies
Don't fall back
Verse 2:
What if we rise
Rise above the ceilings and the highs
Conscious elevation and unite
Unlearn re-learn
And come alive
Chorus:
Cos My people perish
(People perish people perish)
For lack of knowledge
(for lack of knowledge, lack of knowledge)
My people perish
(my people perish)
For lack of knowledge
For lack of knowledge
Outro:
My people my people
They perish
For lack of for lack of knowledge
My people my people they perish
For lack of for lack of knowledge
For lack of for lack of knowledge
For lack of for lack of knowledge
