The Long Juju Slave Route of Arochokwu

Uh yeah uh

Uh yeah uh

Uh yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh, just another day

Uh, just another day

Yeah, just another day, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just another day where the rivers run red

But until they call me home, I let my skin be sun fed

Fuelled with curiosity, leaving nothing unread

I can't meet my maker with these stories unsaid, uh

Tales from the elders

Said if we don't know history, the mystery will drown us

And the idea is filling me with dread

'Cause who wants a future overcautious where we tread?

Led me East, looking for pieces to paper

Trying to find a rhythm, found the drum of the creator

The road is long, they say it isn't in our favour

But what we've overcome there has to be a higher saviour

Do the Aros know that the rivers still flow?

Red rose from our homes just like the stories told

I am product of the history sold

But you cannot acquire what the gift in me holds, nah

I pray that my fate is all in good faith

The route is long, but it's one I must face

I hear the waters, the calming embrace

I know where home is, my heart is incased

I could be lost in the walls of this place

I raise my voice, echos out just in case

Arrowchewkoo the route I could take

Rivers show me a home I could trace

And it won't be long till I get my escape

Elevate with my people's synergy

Lemme rise, lemme see my history

And it won't be long till I get my escape

Elevate with my people's synergy

Lemme rise, lemme see my history

The route is long, but it's one I must face

I know where home is, my heart is incased

I know where home is, my heart is incased
