Forever Sweet
Dotti The Deity
3:36Hello It's me I'm walking into peace that's always been mine No more noise No more war Just me... and my soft life I looked in the mirror anya m meghere Saw a king with fire and gentle air These scars, these eyes, this calm in my chest Tell a story I wear like a royal vest I fell in love with the way I heal No mask, just truth that's power that's real I don't perform, I don't compete I found my peace where my spirit sleeps Uche m zuru ike my mind is at rest This version of me? I love him best ISE!!! Ebube dike ka anyi bu! ISE!!! Odogwu Nwoke na Achalugo Nwanyi! ISE!!! Okara mmadu okara mmuo! ISE!!! Ndi Ike, Ndi mma, anyi na chi dimma! I used to carry the world on my back Now I choose softness I'm never going back I drink peace slow like palm wine at dawn I wear my rest like a crown I put on No need to chase, no need to prove I let my blessings find their groove I walk like water, I speak like flame And none of this softness takes from my name Soft life is calling me Udo di n'obi I answer sweetly No armor, just ease This is where I'm meant to be Na chi m na ndu m ISE!!! Ebube dike ka anyi bu! ISE!!! Odogwu Nwoke na Achalugo Nwanyi! ISE!!! Okara mmadu okara mmuo! ISE!!! Ndi Ike, Ndi mma, anyi na chi dimma! Chi m kwulu m, chi m nyere m (My spirit spoke, my spirit gave to me) Ndu m di n'aka, ike m di n'ime (My life is in my hands, my strength is within) Agwụ na-ekwusi, nsi na-asa (The spirits speak, the poison cleanses) Okuko tara mmiri, mana o zurugo ike (The rooster bathed in water, now it walks with power) Ana m eje ije di nso, eluigwe na-asụ m okwu (I walk a sacred path, the heavens speak to me) Aja m n'ala, mụọ m n'elu (My feet on the ground, my soul in the sky) Nkpuru obi m bụ ogene, na-ada, na-ada! (My heartbeat is a bell — it rings, it rings!) N'igwe bu ụzọ, ndi mmuo na-akpọ! (The heavens go first — the spirits call!) Chi m... nyere m Ike... di n'ime Ogene... na-ada... ogene... na-ada Ndi mmuo... na-akpọ I'm not afraid to want ease I am royalty in release No noise, just clarity No rush, just destiny Ihe m choro, chi m nyere m (What I desire, my spirit gives me...) Soft life is calling me Udo di n'obi I answer sweetly My rest is holy This is where I'm meant to be Soft and sacred... finally free ISE!!! Ebube dike ka anyi bu! ISE!!! Odogwu Nwoke na Achalugo Nwanyi! ISE!!! Okara mmadu okara mmuo! ISE!!! Ndi Ike, Ndi mma, anyi na chi dimma!
