Gods
(Verse 1: Niambi Sala)
He says that he's a god because he can see the god in me, god in we
Power in collective work and responsibility
Of higher order
Stand on the shoulders of our mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
And he's teaching me the prophecies, prophetess
How to claim my property
Reclaiming what was stolen and rebuilding what was broken
No apologies
I'm restoring the hope and blessing the pope
And cutting these ropes from my people
Believing that we're free, believing that we can be anything that we wanna be
If our eyes are opening, yea we heal the hurt within
Remembering.. that
(Chorus)
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
And if I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
And I know I can
Manifest my own destiny
And bring forward the best of me, the best of me
The god that is blessing me
(Verse 2: Thandiwe)
He said we manifested Jah through supreme calculations
He taught me life is computation
And I feel vibrations
When i'm playing his dreads
Wisdom mixed with knowledge with my fingers in his head
And his 9 is summer and my 9 is spring
He wears the ankh around his neck because he is a king
See/C
The Ankh is a cipher and two 7's
A wise god in full circle, that's ascension
His love is a blessing, protecting, me from misconceptions
Taught me never should I question my worth on this earth as queen
Not just a human being
I'm breathing
Girl who's gift is seeing
And reflection of almighty presence in a essence
My light is fluorescent, my moon is a crescent, yes
He reciprocates the energy I give
Reminds me of the purpose that I hope to reach & live
(Chorus)
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
And if I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
And I know I can
Manifest my own destiny
And bring forward the best of me, the best of me
The god that is blessing me
(Bridge:)
And I know we will
Lead the insurrection
Affecting like Monday collections
God is introspection
(Verse 3: T'Nah Apex)
I know I can awe
You don't have to tell me
Still give thanks for which made me see
It inspires me
On the forward 1, 2, 3
I said know myself, know I got wealth
Anything I do I get it from and for self
Free my mind, find my cards and play with what's dealt
So you can find help
If you want to, but I wish you well
Where you go
That's my nature
Believing & know
Doesn't change the path
To the present or the past
Let's simply work on being exact
What you know's a fact
What you don't, don't mean you lack
So simply work on being exact
It's all in the ability to accept that
[?] true to all that
(Chorus)
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I know I can
Cause it was instilled in me
I walk with G, No industry
More than possibility
(Verse 4: Niambi Sala)
And if real recognize real, and I feel
Some sort of connection
Connecting me to you to blue to me
Perhaps there's part of you that's mirroring
My higher self
The depths within my spirit
Knows me deeper than the Dead Sea where life still exists
The beginning of these lives that we live
Here in the center of self
God that is wealth
Born with the knowledge and wisdom and strength
And the courage of health
Because the body is the temple of Nyame
Son, one, with the mother who brings the day
So she knows when it is daybreak
But she lays paved ways and waits
For the announcement to be made
