Burg City Records in Poetic Collaboration with tHE JB StUDiOs presents: Juju Xound Thanksgiving Anthem [Spoken Intro] Yo, listen sharp, my people. Before the beat drop, before the street wake up, we must first say thank You. For the breath for my chest, for the roof over my head, for the table wey dey full. Na God do am. Make we praise Am! [Verse 1] Wake up, take a breath, see the light, feel the might, Na God's love lift me, set me free, make me see! Hustle for the street, faith dey beat, no retreat, Fall down, rise up, no defeat, I dey repeat! Dem say "e no go work," Baba God say "e go," Na grace be the flow, na love make me grow! [Pre-Hook] Say I no get plenty, but I get enough, Baba God dey carry me when the road dey rough, Say my cup dey overflow, I no go lie, Na Him hand dey lift me, na Him dey hold me high! [Hook] (crowd in brackets) Thank You, Baba God! (Thank You, Baba God!) For the love wey no dey end! (No dey end!) Father, Rock, and Friend! (Na You I defend!) You dey send, I no bend! (I no bend!) From the gutter to the glory! (Na grace be the story!) Na Your grace I tell! (Na Your grace I tell!) Street dey testify! (All is well!) Say "All is well!" (All is well!) [Verse 2] For the table, give thanks, for the ones wey we lose, For the scars and the bruise, na the Blues wey I choose! Black Rhythm, Xoulful Blues, na the praise wey I bring, Juju Xound for the king, make the whole street sing! No be luck, na love, na the One Above, Dey carry me through, na the push and the shove! [Verse 3] Mama dey pray, Papa dey stay, na so dem pave the way, Empty pocket, full heart, na faith dey play my part! Corner boy, corner girl, dem dey hold the light, One day, one prayer, na God dey fix am right! Now listen sharp, hear the harp, Juju guitar fill the gap, We dey map the rap, rhyme up with trap, give thanks for every lap! [Hook] (repeat) Thank You, Baba God! (Thank You, Baba God!) For the love wey no dey end! (No dey end!) Father, Rock, and Friend! (Na You I defend!) You dey send, I no bend! (I no bend!) [Bridge] When the road dey rough, na God dey tough, When the night dey deep, na Him I keep! Rain fall, storm call, but I no fall, Na Baba God's hand hold me, I stand tall! Hand dey up, heart dey open, mouth dey sing, Thank You for the little, thank You for everything! [Verse 4] Morning come, sun come, na new mercy dey run, Yesterday's pain don turn to today's fun! Dem fit lock my door, but dem no fit lock my song, Na God open the way, na so I dey move strong! Brother for the block, sister for the stall, Make we lift each other up, make we answer the call! Na love be the currency, na grace be the pay, Na gratitude we dey spend for every single day! Dem born me for the struggle, but na glory I wear, Na God dey my corner, so no fear, no care! [Pre-Hook] Say I no get plenty, but I get enough, Baba God dey carry me when the road dey rough, Say my cup dey overflow, I no go lie, Na Him hand dey lift me, na Him dey hold me high! [Breakdown] (beat drop, whisper then rise) Hmm... listen... na peace dey inside, Na faith dey my stride, na God be my guide, Clap your hands, lift your voice, make the whole land rejoice, Na so we dey thank Am, na our only choice! [Closing Prayer] (spoken, slow) Father, we thank You for the food on the table, for the family wey dey around, for the ones wey don go ahead, and for the new day wey You give us. Cover the street, cover the children, cover the dreamers. Make Your love dey flow like river, and make our gratitude never run dry. In Jesus' name, we pray. [Verse 5] Thank You for the scars, na dem teach me to stand, Thank You for the road, na You hold my hand! Thank You for the hunger, na dem teach me to pray, Thank You for the water wey You turn to day! Thank You for the music, the Juju and the Blues, Thank You for the lesson for every win and lose! Na You be the Blueprint, na You draw my line, Every beat wey I drop, Baba God, e belong to You, e shine! [Street Prayer Chant] God dey! (God dey!) Love dey! (Love dey!) Grace dey! (Grace dey!) Na so we dey say thank You every day! [Second Bridge] If dem ask me why I dey sing so loud, Tell dem say na God make me proud! Dem fit take the shine, dem fit take the crown, But dem no fit take the joy wey God put down! From Lagos to the Bronx, from the East to the West, Na one Father dey bless, na one love dey rest! [Final Chant] Black Rhythm! (Black Rhythm!) Xoulful Blues! (Xoulful Blues!) Juju Xound! (Juju Xound!) Blueprint, we dey praise, we dey proof! (Na God be the truth!) Thank You, Baba God! (Thank You, Baba God!) For the love wey no dey end! (No dey end!) Street dey testify! (All is well!) Say "All is well!" (All is well!) [Outro] Gratitude, gratitude, na the street attitude, Thank You, Baba God, for the love and the food! Story-story of my life, na so I talk, This na life talk, no be chalk, na real-life walk! [Final Word] Black Rhythm and Xoulful Blues, na the Blueprint wey God give me. Thank You, Baba God. Amen! Hallelujah!!!
