By now, you should know Fela
His records are as long as a pole
Like a King; he was not buried in holes
But ascended to become a god…
Please, bow to greet an immortal man
He has walked on acids and fires
Well barefooted; and had bathed
With the magmas of volcanoes…
He had torn tears and bled blood
Hence on his dark African head
You will see a red colour cap
With two long Eagle feathers…
From the age of his heritage
Came his staffs and chains
Made from the toughest trunk
Of the largest Elephants
He was fearless like the lions
Not because his pants and capes
Were made from the skins
Of the beast in thick forest
But while he walked and talked
The planetary bodies trembles
His dance awakened the sleeping ghost
By the boldness of historical voice
He never for ones chased the flies
When he swung his white horse tail
But he made the ancestors rejoice
On the ship of which he sailed.
Wow
