AFRO-JUJU Xtreet Motivation — REMIX

Lyrics

BURG CITY RECORDS in Poetic Collaboration with tHE JB STUDIOS presents: AFRO-JUJU STREET Motivation Remix — BRXB DECLARATION! Now listen sharp... This Na Black Rhythm & Xoulful Blues —wey become the Blueprint of Dem Juju Xound Unbound-Profound-Root-&-Rhythm-Surround-All-Around.. ​I. THE SOVEREIGN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: ​Before morning open market, before the first conductor shout, Before the mason mix mortar, before the dream find route, Na GOD we dey acknowledge as the Source wey dey sustain, The wisdom inside vision, the strength inside the strain. ​We no come this life to dey count another person crown, We come to build our own foundation from the soil to the town. No be every open door mean say your future don arrive, Sometimes na the door wey you build go make your purpose come alive! ​From the womb of possibility, make originality emerge, Let imagination find a blueprint, let the blueprint take charge. From the silence of intention to the sound of execution, Make the spirit meet the skill, make the skill produce solution! ​LEAD: Who plant the seed? — STREET: NA WE! ​LEAD: Who go water am? — STREET: NA WE! ​LEAD: Who go face the weather? — STREET: NA WE! ​ALL: If the root strong, make the branches touch forever! ​II. THE STREET NO BE THE DESTINATION ​I see young man for junction with a thousand-dollar dream, But him pocket dey whisper while him future dey scream. I see young woman with a vision wey the system never fund, Still she dey turn one small opportunity to something wey go stand. ​I see apprentice for workshop wey dey study every sound, I see tailor turn material to design wey go astound. I see mechanic read engine like a book without a page, I see one small phone become the doorway to a global stage. ​No mock the hand wey dey learn before e master the trade, No despise the little progress wey consistency don make. Every expert get a season when the work no bring applause, Every structure get a stage when na the ground dey bear the force. ​Poverty fit describe where you start, e no fit write where you end. Your condition fit demand a plan, but e no be your permanent friend. ​No be motivational shouting go replace the missing skill, No be dream alone go settle every unpaid bill. Make your hustle get direction, make your knowledge get a plan, Make you understand the system before you try to change the land! ​III. THE WARRIOR WEY DEY BUILD WITH WISDOM ​Work with your hand, but make your head dey calculate, No let urgency deceive you make you build without a gate. Know the cost, know the customer, know the value of your time, Know the difference between attention and a business wey go climb. ​Some people dey chase spotlight while the foundation dey crack, Some dey advertise tomorrow but no structure for their back. Some dey celebrate the harvest when the planting never start, Some dey sell a finished vision wey never leave their heart. ​We no dey build for the camera; we dey build for continuity, We no dey chase empty numbers; we dey cultivate utility. If the product no solve problem, make you go refine the design, If the people no understand am, make the message clearer shine. ​Test am! Check am! Correct am! Improve am! ​If the first road block your journey, find another way to move am. ​Study! Practice! Measure! Repeat! Put intelligence for your hands, put discipline for your feet! ​No be every opportunity deserve your energy, No be every invitation align with your destiny. Learn to say no to distraction without turning heart to stone, Build your future with conviction, but remember you no dey alone. ​From Waffi water to Benin earth, make the cultural river flow, Carry memory for your spirit, carry modern sense to grow. Make the talking drum ask questions wey the textbooks never raise, Make the Juju guitar remind us how the old roots find new ways. ​We no dey borrow our tomorrow by abandoning yesterday, We dey study where we come from so our future find a way. Every proverb need context; every history need a source, Every heritage deserve respect, but make we still examine course. ​No turn tradition to a cage wey go prevent the young from flight, No turn modernisation to a knife wey cut the roots from sight. Let the elder share the wisdom, let the younger test the ground, Let the truth survive investigation, let the lost records be found. ​Culture no be decoration wey we wear for celebration, Na the memory, moral questions, language, skill and imagination. When the old knowledge meet the new intelligence with care, Afro-Juju build a bridge wey generations fit share! ​Future Imagination! ​AFRO-JUJU CONTINUUM — CULTURAL CONTINUATION! ​IV. JUJU’S MAGNUM POETRIUM — WORDS WEY DEY WORK ​I dey forge another language from the fragments of the street, Where the hardship meet the heartbeat, where the syllables find beat. Consonants dey form the compass, vowels dey vibrate, Internal rhyme dey build the engine, every phrase dey accelerate. ​Possibility to originality, imagination to invention. GOD again...
