Ká Máa Dúpẹ́ by BANTU (Crew) Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Ade Bantu]
We give thanks and praises to the most high
For the beauty of life
For love unlimited
For creation
For the ancestors watching over us
To the spirits seen and unseen

[Chorus]
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna smile
Ká máa dúpẹ́, I'm gonna smile

[Verse 1: Ireoluwa Allen]
I know sometimes beauty’s hard to find
The pressures of life rob your sight and mind
You're down and out there’s no power to fight
No roses in the cracks, no light in the dark
So we crawl on, desperate for love
So we crawl on, hoping for calm and ease
[Chorus]
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna smile
Ká máa dúpẹ́, I'm gonna smile

[Verse 2: Ireoluwa Allen]
On the horizon there’s a brand new season
A silver lining giving you reason, to triumph
Beyond misfortune and pain
To rise up, so your spirit can gain
From all the lessons learnt the pages burnt
The battles, fought and lost y’all

[Chorus]
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna smile
Ká máa dúpẹ́, I'm gonna smile

[Verse 3: Ireoluwa Allen]
