SIGNATURE INTRO: Now listen sharp, hear the harp, Juju's Guitar fill the gap.. we dey map the rap, rhyme up with trap.. This Na Black Rhythm & Xoulful Blues, Wey become the Blueprint of dem Juju Xound! Shake the ground, turn around, make the blues resound as the groove surround! This na life talk, no be chalk, na real-life walk! Story-story of my life — hear the poet talk! THE SOVEREIGN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Before the breath, before the beat, Before the feet could find the street, Before the pen could paint the page, Before the poet could engage— We acknowledge! Before the morning breaks the night, Before the darkness meets the light, Before the seed becomes the tree, We recognise the Source we see. We acknowledge GOD of Juju as THE main-domain again & again & again... Not for the noise, not for the show, Not for the things the eyes behold. But for the breath, the depth, the grace, For every step, for every space. The unseen hand, the greater plan, The breath of life within the man. The source beyond the things we know, The reason possibilities grow. GOD FIRST! Make the talking drum testify. Make Juju's Guitar magnify. Let every living rhythm rise, With gratitude beneath the skies. Na GOD before declaration, gratitude before celebration. Pen get purpose, rhythm get reason, every journey unfold in its own season! NEW BENIN — THE ROOT & THE ROUTE New Benin, where the root begin, little dreams with a vision within. From the street to the beat, let the rhythm kick in, from the thought to the plot, let the story begin! Root to the route, put the truth in the booth, got the proof in the groove, got the juice in the youth. Possibility, creativity, imagination in motion, poetry in propulsion, Afro-Juju devotion! Auchi Polytechnic, academic progression, Poly Road to Cubana, another life's expression. Downtown Old Sabo Road, geographical connection, different locations, different situations, personal narration! Auchi sunshine, hot-hot sensation, high-degree heat, intense perspiration! Sunlight blazing, body perspiring, freedom nearly burning, temperature rising! No be ordinary weather, Auchi sun dey turn up the pressure! LASGIDI — STEADILY GROOVING & GROOMING Lasgidi, steadily grooving and grooming me, moving and improving, while the city dey schooling me! Different situations, new configurations, urban conversations, personal transformations! Grooving through the movement, improving through the proving, learning through the living, developing while moving. Every street get a rhythm, every rhythm get a reason, every chapter get a lesson, every lesson get a season! DJ Master P-I, THE PROLIFIC! Another chapter in the story, another name iconic. Musical connection, rhythmic recognition, another Lagos-life chapter awaiting narration! The name enters the story, the details still dey pending. We go capture the encounter, make the real-life story render! WAFFI AUTHENTIC Na Waffi we dey express, no need to over-dress. Na the language of the feeling, na the rhythm of the meaning! When the poet start to talk, make the people connect; when the rhythm drop, make the whole place reflect! No dey force the flow, make the natural one show. From the roots to the fruits, let authenticity grow! STREET CADENCE — STREET MOTIVATING No dey compare your journey with another man's destination, everybody get a timeline, everybody get preparation. Small-small elevation, consistent dedication, discipline and determination build the foundation! No be noise be progress, no be hype be achievement. No be talking be the work, na consistent commitment! Turn reflection into direction, turn the pain into a lesson. No surrender to the pressure, no abandon your ambition! MAIN CHORUS — THIS NA LIFE TALK This na LIFE TALK! (Life talk!) No be CHALK! (Na real walk!) Story-story of my life! Tell the story, tell am right! Life no be straight line, No be one-way sign. Sometimes you dey climb, Sometimes you dey find your time. One day na laughter, Next day na pressure. One minute na pleasure, Next minute na lesson. Person get story, Person get glory. Person dey hustle, Person dey struggle. Some dey calculate, Some dey contemplate, THE CONTINUUM INHERIT the story, INTERPRET the meaning, TRANSFORM the expression, TRANSMIT the feeling, CONTINUE the journey, keep the legacy breathing! Beginning, Believing, Becoming, Building, Belonging, Bequeathing! Past into present, the present proceeding, Afro-Juju Continuum, the rhythm continuing! FINAL CHORUS Black Rhythm & Xoulful Blues!

GOD is in the Work as Afro-Juju Continues!
