Ode to Debtera (My Djembe)

BOOM BAP
BOOM BAP
BOOM BOOM BOOM  BAP

Hand slap Debtera tone
Bass responds right back

BOOM BAP
BOOM BAP
(PAUSE)
BOOM BOOM BOOM BAP

Ghana Mama
Sun tightened hide
Retains a culture

BOOM BAP
BOOM BAP
(PAUSE)
BOOM BOOM BOOM  BAP

Melanin
Rebelin in
A time for Rebelin in

BOOM BAP
BOOM BAP
BOOM BOOM BOOM BAP

Life Beat
Sounds sweet
With the tempo increase

BOOM BAP BAP BA BAP
BOOM BAP BAP
BOOM BAP BAP BA BAP
BOOM BAP BAP

Fire flames dance
With the sistren and Bredrin
Hands to the heavens
Feet Beat to the core

BOOM BAP BAP BA BAP
BOOM BAP BAP

Ocean sounds
roar upon the shore
calling us home

BOOM BAP BAP BA BAP
BOOM BAP BOOM BAP

The babies
The babies
The legacy is left
Hidden in the rhythm
Retracing forgotten steps

BOOM BAP BAP BA BAP
BOOM BAP BAP
BOOM BAP BAP BA BAP
BOOM BAP BAP

BAP BA BAP BAP
BA BAP BAP BAP
BOOM....

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
