Connected Beings (ft. ASAP Shembe)

They crossed a sea and heard us calling
In musical tongues where the world kept falling
With rhythms older than the dawn of time
These migrating forces collide
With ancient voice on further beats
Bridging the gabs where they said we couldn’t meet
Blending the electronic tones of our vocal cords
See, music has no colour
And though Africa is our mother
We are all children of sound dancing as one
Celebrating our daughters and sons in song
Ngoba thina siyacula
Music is our culture
It’s in the lullabies of our mothers
And the voices of our freedom fighting fathers
Ngoba thina siyacula
It’s in the footsteps of our ancestors and yours
It’s in their courage travelling as far as shores
Ngoba thina siyacula
During good times and hunger
Thina siyacula
Through sunshine and rain regardless of the pain
Thina siyacula
And you’ve heard us
So let the future and the past collide
Let the music reconcile all the stories we’ve been told
Where we conjure new and old
On the journey beyond white and black
On the journey where we look back
And take where we have been to where we are going
With hands holding these connect the beings and sound
