JUJU & THE CONTINUUM DEEPEN • DEEPENER • DEEPEST at it's BEST An Appreciational Testimony to GOD for Surviving the Hard Times Now listen... This is Black Rhythm & Xoulful Blues — The Blueprint of Juju Xound — Surround-all-around-both-for-land-&-underground.. I — THE SOVEREIGN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Before the beginning begin, before the first breath blow, Before the seed see sunlight, before the rivers learn to flow, Na GOD dey hold creation, na GOD dey give me breath; Through the hard times and the long nights, GOD preserve my steps. When the road turn rugged, when the night refuse to end, When I need strength to carry on, when I need a helping hand, I remember every morning wey I still get breath to rise; I give thanks to GOD Almighty, with appreciation in my eyes. I no claim say life easy, I no claim say I no cry; I just thank GOD for the strength to keep my hopes alive. The wound no be the whole story, and the pain no be my name; I survive another season, and my gratitude remain. Let JiNG & BiNG be JiNG & BiNG, because GOD is in love with JiNG & BiNG! II — DEEPEN: FROM PAIN TO PRAYER Hard times, long nights, dark roads, dim lights; Heavy loads, rough roads, still I hold on tight. From the tears to the prayers, from the fears to the faith, I dey learn to appreciate each new breath wey I take. The storm bring the lesson, the lesson bring reflection; Reflection bring direction, direction shape intention. Intention become action, action deepen dedication; Dedication preserve memory, memory strengthen continuation. I no go worship suffering, but I go honour what I learn; I no go deny the bridges wey I build each time I turn. Every scar fit tell a story, every struggle fit teach; Every dawn bring possibility beyond the things we reach. DEEPEN! Make gratitude enter heart. DEEPEN! Make wisdom play its part. DEEPEN! Make the testimony true. GOD, I thank You for carrying me through. III — DEEPENER: THE RHYMAL-CHAIN Pain to prayer, prayer to patience; Patience to practice, practice to persistence. Persistence to progress, progress to purpose; Purpose to preservation, preservation to the people. The people carry memory, the memory carry meaning; The meaning feed tomorrow while the future keeps unfolding. From the wound to the word, from the word to the work; From the work to the worth of the wisdom in the dirt. DEEPENER! Let appreciation mature. DEEPENER! Let the heart find something sure. DEEPENER! Let the lessons become light. Let the soul keep gratitude in sight. Thank You for the breath, thank You for the day; Thank You for the strength to find another way. Thank You for the hands that help, the wisdom I receive; Thank You for the hope that gives me room to still believe. IV — DEEPEST: THE ROOT OF GRATITUDE The deepest no be loudness; na the truth wey reach the root; Na the gratitude wey blossoms and produces living fruit. Na the wisdom to remember without becoming chained to pain; Na the courage to keep building when the clouds return again. GOD, let my survival make me kinder, not proud; Let my testimony speak truth, never use pain to silence a crowd. Let my creativity serve, let my memory preserve; Let my hands do honest work, let my purpose truly serve. I thank You for yesterday, today, and tomorrow's possibility; For the chance to live with greater wisdom, love, and responsibility. The past remains my teacher, but the past no be my chain; I can carry what I learned without choosing hurt again. DEEPEST! Beyond applause. DEEPEST! Beyond public praise. Rooted in remembrance, Alive in how I live my days. — BEST: THE CONTINUUM CONTINUES The best appreciation no be only wetin mouth fit sing; Na the good wey stays alive when the song don lose its ring. From possibility to beginning, from believing to becoming; From becoming to belonging, hear the Continuum drumming! DEEPEN • DEEPENER • DEEPEST at it's BEST! Through the hard times, GOD, I give You praise! Through the long nights, GOD, I give You praise! For the strength to rise again, GOD, I give You praise! For the gift of one more day, GOD, I give You praise! Let JiNG & BiNG be JiNG & BiNG, Let the living testimony ring! Black Rhythm & Xoulful Blues, let the Xound resound; The Blueprint of Juju Xound carries gratitude around. GOD Almighty, thank You for the life I still dey live; For the lessons I remember and the gifts I still can give. Let my gratitude become compassion, let my purpose become real; Let the work preserve the wisdom, let the Continuum heal. GOD IS iN THE WORK as AFRO-JUJU CONTINUES! Let JiNG & BiNG be JiNG & BiNG, because GOD is in love with JiNG & BiNG! JUJU & THE CONTINUUM — DEEPEN. DEEPENER. DEEPEST at it's BEST. From survival to appreciation. From appreciation to purpose.
