Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Still breathing
We are still black
Still strong
We are still beautiful
Still loving, loving
Still
[Verse 2]
They strained in stillness
You can't chain our spirits
We are strong still
Always will be
[Verse 3]
They strained in stillness
You can't chain our spirits
We are strong still
Always will be
Yeah
[Verse 4]
Our minds are controlled by a force
We don't know but if we can be still
We always will feel free
Our minds are controlled by a force
We don't know but if we can be still
We always will feel free
[Verse 5]
Still faithful
We are still wise
They are still problems
But we will run
[Verse 6]
They strained in stillness
You can't chain our spirits
We are strong still
Always will be
Yeah
They strained in stillness
You can't chain our spirits
We are strong still
Always will be, aye
[Verse 7]
Our minds are controlled by a force
We don't know but if we can be still
We always will feel free
Our minds are controlled by a force
We don't know but if we can be still
Always will feel free
[Verse 8]
Be stay, be still
And know that I am God, I am God
Please hail (Please hail, please still and know that I am God)
(Be still, be still and know that I am God)
[Verse 9]
Hey Makuza
I just wanted to drop you a few lines
I wish you the best in England and wherever you go
Please don't feel obligated to come back over here because of me
You have my blessing
Be happy, healthy, strong and free
You'll find the queen and the Yoruba ancestors
To be sufficient guidance and protection
Yemaya, the mother
Oshun and Oxalá
The wise, the father Ogun Shango
Thanks for taking hold of the family jewels
And doing so much with them
Don't take no wooden nickels
Love, Dad
