OMO ORISHA

Emi kan pelu awon orisha
Omo Orisha
No es lati irawo
Irawo

No number of unyielding opinions,
Radical views, or zealous contention,
Can rupture the undying belief
That I am spiritually complete,
In fact, this knowledge is beyond belief,
Considering that belief contains a fragment of doubt,
while faith, is knowing, and in me there is no doubt

I don't presume, speculate, or entertain those who debate this
I am secure in my faith and the actuality of my greatness

Excuse me while I brush the dirt off my shoulders
Of those who hate this
I'm not one to deny my truth just to conform
I can't fake this

It is metaphysical
But I can scientifically explain
That all carbon organic matter was originally made
In the stars

It took Billions of years to make me
From hydrogen and helium
To carbon, It's all in my DNA
My brain cells, blood, flesh and my vertebrae
Moreover,I'm birthed by the energy of a supernova
Better known as Ashé

I'm packed with all the elements of the earth
Even greater, I'm composed of the secrets of the stars
And the universe

However
I know my worth beyond scientific theories
I know that inside of me are 401 Orisha energies
Some see this living force as human deities
That's okay, because either way
You're still acknowledgingand I salute you,

Alafia Ashé, Ashé Ashé O
Show me some respect
I'm over 15 billion years old
This ain't my first rodeo
I've been here many times before

I'm from the heavens
The sacred realm known as Orun
That top secret, binary coded
Zero point gravity
That the military is researching,
Is the African Yoruba Science of Odu
Yes I know it's true
Pause.
I'm not looking for validation from those who disbelieve
Like you

I was conceived in Ifá
Already seeded with infinite knowledge
It is inherited
Not the kind of knowledge you might get
From books in college

It's not that I know everything
That is stored inside of me consciously
I have Iwa Pele,
Good character and morality
I humble myself to just what the universe believes I need

I chose my Guardian Orisha
Within seven days after birth
I knew a woman's worth first,
And that the she is mother of the universe

Although we are crowned into the mysteries,
In reality, I was initiated once I left the womb
Of a Queen with African DNA in her genes

I'm everything, all in all
I'm part of God, the ancestors and Orisha
No matter what anyone says
I KNOW this to be true
I don't just know this about me
Abure
I also know this about you

Emi kan pelu awon orisha
Omo Orisha
No es lati irawo
Irawo
