And we started
Like every other person would-
Though it was sloppy and sluggish
Like very starting should
and out of nowhere
help came
O ma tin jo rawon

Just we thought it was beginning
the divine mandate came
but the transformation took another way round
The heavens came and took J.H AWAHSU away

Enemies thought it was over
But Nay we just beginning
Saamu took up the mantle
And yeah we’ve been winning

The Overflow Of our testimonies
Don make us TAKE OVER
