Ade Bantu - Omowale lyrics

[Verse 1: Don Abi] I heard about an old time alchemist In ancient land too far to be seen With the eyes of any living creature or human being Covered up in clouds of swallowed dreams Humble yourself and open up within let your light shine properly [Verse 1: Ade Bantu] As the soul catch fire And them Babylonians pay for dem wicked ways We retreat from the craze Heading down south for the place Where the spirits gaze n' the soul meditates Elevates metaphysical states Beyond the heard, seen and was There is a LOVE reinforced in the ways of GODS Man's gotta overstand to plough the land Make it all happen with a strike of hand Creatively visualise a new paradise Go beyond the victimised victims people Destroy the evil [Chorus] Omowalé k'emi re le bale F'okan sibi t'aye dun Je ki ileri bosi o Omowalé k'emi re le bale F'okan sibi t'aiye dun Je ki ileri bosi o Iré...
