Ancestors Calmed The Storm

(Aweh, African Boy)

(You interpreted my kindness and soft heart for weakness and foolishness, my hard work nature for stupidity, and wasted my 10 years of building a family and legacy you wanted it for yourself, you dwell on others pain and anguish, you have failed)

They tried to break the ground I stand on

But the foundation is solid, yebo (Karma is a bitch they say)

You worked so hard to tear it all down

Spending your time just to paint me with a frown

My effort, my sweat, the resources I poured

You wanted to leave me unable to afford

You brought the drama right to my front door

Dragging my family through the mud and the war (Lalela wenja)

Eish, you thought your hate was a permanent spell

Creating a misery you wanted me to dwell

(Greater are they that are in me than you)

But the ancestors stepped in, they held the line

They turned the water into something divine

Like Pharaoh’s army, you were swept by the tide (for your life is a complete lie)

Now there’s nowhere for your envy to hide

The storm is calmed, yeah the sky is clear

Everything you built has disappeared, sho

Look at the pain that you scattered around

Innocent people standing on broken ground

Disrupting the peace that we fought to maintain

All for the pleasure of causing me pain

But check the balance, look at the scale

Your bitterness left you destined to fail

We all took a hit, yeah the cost was high

But truth is a light that will never die

But the ancestors stepped in wiped my tears and turned my soft heart into a rock, they held the line and provided the shelter for me, gave me a shield to protect me and innocent souls you broke

They turned the water into something divine

Like Pharaoh’s army, you were swept by the tide

Now there’s nowhere for your envy to hide, you are a shadow of yourself.

The storm is calmed, yeah the sky is clear

Everything you built in deceit has disappeared, sharp sharp

You had a busy season, didn't you, hater?

Working overtime to be the creator of my strife while pretending to be a brother and friend

But the Lord intervened in the middle of the night

Defeated the shadows with a holy light

Asambe, watch the healing begin while you perish in anguish and shame

So how do you feel now the smoke has cleared? Everyone has seen who you really are

Facing the silence of the things that you feared

My legacy stands while you’re out of breath

You brought the chaos, you brought the mess

But shame on you, for the games that you played

Look at the heavy price that you paid

I’m moving forward, I’m walking in grace

With a smile on my face in this holy place

But the ancestors stepped in, they held the line gave me a shield

They turned the water into something divine

Like Pharaoh’s army, you were swept by the tide

Now there’s nowhere for your envy to hide

The storm is calmed, yeah the sky is clear

Everything you built has disappeared

Ancestors calmed the storm, yebo

It’s over now, let it go

Peace in the house, peace in the soul

Sharp sharp, we’re back in control (African Boy yeah, you know yourselves)
