BURG CITY RECORDS In Poetic Collaboration with tHE JB STUDIOS Presents: AFRO-JUJU XTREET MOTIVATION BRXB — DECLARATION! FUJI-Bounce · Street Announce · Juju-Guitar-Resound-around-surround-profound-now-rhythm-unbound · I. Junction Preacher — Sovereign Stack Low whisper → talking drum → full street DECLARATION blast Lamp for the camp, Author of order, You hold the gold and the told and the bold. We bow and vow, not for fear but for near, because Your hand stand where we land. Open the road, lighten the load, and Juju, tune the tune! Generator dey hum, the night market come, suya smoke rise, stars in the skies. Bus conductor shout, hope dey sprout, change for hand, but the plan dey stand. Empty pocket sing, but the mind get wing, late night grind, blind to the rind. No map, no gap, we draw our law: the dream na seam, we stitch the flame! Chorus Wake up, make up your mind, shine and climb, leave doubt behind! Rise with the drum, the day go come, sweat na seed, the deed go lead! Lift your head, bread and thread, the road go load with gold! (Gangan: "Gbim-gbim! Gbim-gbim! Dawn don come o!") Rent dey press, but prayer no less, fold your fear, the year dey clear. Dem laugh and mock, you walk and talk, tick by tock, you build the block. Root to route, seed to sky, You sustain the flame wey no gree die! Breath for chest, pulse for drum, Na You be Beginning wey all things come from! II. Trench-to-Bench — Street Code: Poverty no be prophecy, stagnation no be fate! We dey work, we dey learn, we dey build, we create! Red earth Waffi to the world beyond the gate, Tune your frequency—make hustle generate! Shake, break, wake—turn the ache into gain, Train the brain, build again, put a name to the strain. Trench to bench, make the work build strength, No be wish, na persistence go carry you length. No shaking, chain-breaking, claim-taking, No faking, just building while the whole world dey waiting. Road get load? Carry boldly, maintain your direction, No be pride, na the discipline behind construction! LEAD: Who get vision? STREET: WE GET AM! ALL: Vision! Mission! Provision! Precision! LEAD: Who get mission? STREET: WE GET AM! ALL: Ambition! Tradition! Transition! Transmission! LEAD: Who go do work? STREET: NA WE GO DO AM! ALL: Plan am! Start am! Build am! Improve am! LEAD: When pressure come? STREET: WE GO MOVE BEYOND AM! ALL: Stand strong! Hold ground! Stay sound! Move on! Seed meet stone, make the root find route! Rain fall hard, make the shoot still shoot out! Concrete say “No!”—persistence say “Grow!” World say “Stop!”—purpose say “Go, go, go!” Mud for ground, stars for sky, Roots go deep while the branches fly. No be every sweet proverb be correct, Study the source, let the elders help direct. Juju’s Magnum Poetrium — Ghetto Word Deep drum resound, lost roots get found, Pulse meet pen as the words go round. Magnum Poetrium, the word laboratory, Ordinary experience turn extraordinary. Syllable to syllable, spirit find vessel, Metaphor to metaphor, message gain level. Consonant compass, vowel vibration, Every stanza build a bridge to the next generation. Yesterday for marrow, tomorrow for mind, Lessons from struggle leave legacies behind. Refine every line till the rhyme becomes a sign, Then the sign becomes a bridge where generations align! Pocket to project, intellect to effect, Seed to system, make the structure correct. Research, refine, redesign, reconnect, Put culture in the structure, put the work in respect. Afro-Juju—rooted, routed, rising! Creating, connecting, building, thriving! Ancestral memory, future intelligence, Cultural continuity, creative excellence! JiNG & BiNG, let the creative engines ignite, Let the Studios turn imagination to light. Burg City Records, let the rhythm testify, From street to stage, let the message multiply! No be sweat alone, na sense we dey apply, No be prayer alone, na work we dey supply. Faith gives courage, discipline gives flight, Make the fruit of our labour bring the vision to sight! VII. Final Rhymal Lock — Full Street-Chant Climax: We no just dey dream — WE DEY BUILD AM! We no just dey speak — WE DEY LIVE AM! We no just dey start — WE DEY SUSTAIN AM! We no just dey make — WE DEY REFINE AM! No be motivation alone go pay the rent, Na the skill, na the will, na the hours wey we spend. Put the plan in motion, give the dream direction, Turn daily contribution to a lasting institution! From idea to design, from design to production, Make the sweat meet the skill—make the skill meet execution! FROM POSSIBILITY TO ORIGINALITY! FROM BEGINNING TO BELIEVING! FROM BELIEVING TO BECOMING! FROM CREATIVITY TO CONTINUITY! Street outro — Danfo-conductor cadence, instruments fading in layers. Build am! Live am! Sustain am! Refine am! Root am! Grow am! Know am! Show am! No dull! No loose! No excuse! Produce! JiNG! BiNG! For street! For site! For stage! — FOR WAFFI, FOR BENIN, FOR THE WORLD! GOD IS iN THE WORK AS AFRO-JUJU CONTINUES!
