Lyrics

[Intro – Steelpan, talking drums, soft male chant “Ein… Ein… Inniss…” behind horns and rising percussion. Melody has an uplifting, fire-swaying swing.]

[Spoken – Lead Voice (Charismatic & deep, voice-of-the-people tone)]
He wasn’t a man… he was a drumbeat in human form.
Every step was rhythm.
Every word? A proverb wrapped in thunder.
Einstein Inniss — the lion who made men walk like kings.

⸻

[Verse 1 – Male Vocal with bounce. Subtle poetic metaphors and legacy imagery.]
He walked like soil knew his name
Left wisdom in footprints, not in fame
Didn’t speak long — just built slow
With quiet fire, and steady flow

He’d wake before dawn just to listen to light
Mapped our future in books overnight
“Try?” No, he’d grin and say, “We strike!”
Shot putt spinning in backyard flight

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – Smooth lift, metaphoric phrases of growth and fire]
He planted faith where drought would start
Taught storms to sing inside my heart
And when I asked, “Will I be like you?”
He said, “No, you’ll grow past what I grew”

⸻

[Chorus – Call & Response + Chant]
Lead:
Ein, oh Ein — your name’s a drum
Response:
Still beating loud when the night-time come
Lead:
Brick by brick, you shaped this land
All:
Built us strong with your two bare hands

Chant:
Ein! Inniss!
Echo in the river mist
Ein! Inniss!
Flame that memory can’t resist

⸻

[Verse 2 – Lyrics with metaphor, indirect meaning, and soul groove]
We’d clash like flint, both hearts like stone
But love? He carved that love in bone
Didn’t always say, “I’m proud of you,”
But made me feel it in what he’d do

The day before he flew to sky
He whispered truth I can’t deny
“Son, I love you.”
God made sure I got that line — just in time

⸻

[Bridge – Spoken over percussive groove and female harmony chant]
He didn’t just love us… he defended the bloodline.
Gran Gran was his oracle. Glyne, his right hand.
He didn’t need armor — his honor was enough.
Every child he raised was a shield against time.

⸻

[Final Chorus – Full band, vocal rise, horns blast, feet moving]
Ein, oh Ein — the fire, the root
Still marching bold in Sunday suit
Ein, oh Ein — your breath, our song
We carry you in us, all lifelong

Final chant breakdown (everyone):
Lion! Builder! Brother! King!
Hear your name in how we sing
Legacy can’t be erased
Your rhythm lives in our grace

⸻

[Outro – Fades with layered chants, pan drums, and soft laughter echoing]
“Einstein Inniss — the man who danced with storms and tamed them with love.”
