Ft. "1983" by Flying Lotus

lyrics

English Translation: (for Yoruba scroll down)

Hello African Family,
I learned that I have Yoruba blood
Fulani, Fula and Balanta as well
I want to introduce myself
And my children in my Mother Tongue
Although this is my goal
I will make mistakes in this Orik
I ask for your forgiveness

My birth name is Hanief
but my Yoruba name is
Adebowale Adetokunbo
I love the African Family!

I love my kids very much
God is the Father of my Family
We are The Adetokunbos
We love the African Family!

My first Son is Hanief
but his Yoruba name is
Adewale Adetokunbo
I love the African Family!

Serenity is my Daughter
but her Yoruba name is
Omotunde Adetokunbo
She loves the African Family!

Hello African Family
I have returned speaking Yoruba
I have joy because
I can introduce myself
and my family in my Mother Tongue
Although this is my goal
I will make mistakes in this Oriki
for this I ask for your forgiveness

I was born in America
California is the state I am from
Children of Odogbolu in America
embraced me….Beautiful Love
The King of Odogbolu gave me
my very powerful name
Omega Psi Phi is my brotherhood
Fraternity at the university
My friends forever
God is forever my Father
If we don't see the truth
We will be slaves to man
We should never submit to racists
We must fight for freedom
I do not need a gun for the wicked
but to kill the thoughts of the enemy
