Lyrics

Okay Let’s go again
So I am are writing a project
These past couple of years I’ve been going through what I’d call an Identity crisis.
Being asked what type of music you make is like asking me to explain who I am
Then I realised I am everything
The environment, my experiences, what I listen to, how I think, how i feel, it’s all shaped me to be where I am today
I am African at my core
The blueprint
I’m done explaining myself
This is Tolü Makay
I am Tolü Makay
What are you waiting for ?
What are you searching for?
All that you’re trying to be
You cannot hide blackbird
What are you searching for?
Hiding who you’re meant to be for what?
You're meant to stand apart from them
And you know that.
So stop hiding who youre meant to be
The time is now oohh yeah
Your time is now ooh yeah
What are you waiting for ?
What are you searching for?
All that you’re trying to be
You cannot hide blackbird
