And na correct African blood wey dey flow inside of me,

If na fear and grief, African music go bring boldness and joy.
Oh African music,

You be the flute of the artistic symphony,
Na eim be my poetic muse,
Because say I dey get inspired by ein melodies.
Dem dey call Africa the dark continent,
But dem no no say na through the dark we find our light,
When our music dey gives vibes, and good energy.

And go fit also serve as the creative conductor.
