Call of the Ancestors

Intro

Ey eh, ancestors calling me

Ey eh, hear the ancient voice

Verse 1

Dem blood wey run for my vein, e no be accident

My people go before, dem set the foundation concrete

I dey feel am for my spirit, the weight of the legacy

Everything wey I touch, dem ancestors guide my destiny

From the soil to the sky, from the night to the morning sun

Dem voices in the wind dey remind me where I come from

I no forget the sacrifice, the pain wey dem survive

Now I dey carry the torch, make sure the flame stay alive

Chorus

Call of the ancestors (ancestors!)

Dem blood run deep inside my soul (soul!)

Never walk alone, never walk alone

Verse 2

From Lagos to the village, from the city to the land

Dem spirit dey guide my hand, make I understand

Who am I without the past? Who am I without the name?

My family, my history, that's my greatest flame

I see their faces in my mirror, I carry their grace

Shey you know say strength dey come from where you come?

Dem ancestors never rest until the work be done
