Show Dem Camp - Libations Lyrics

They say the gods came back in human form
The deity in the flesh, but still weather the storms
Magic flows eternal....
Guess all the naysayers are still getting conformed
I can carry the world, but let me breathe first
This is world publicity, do your research
This is Sunny Ade, in full flight
There is a message in the bottle for those who seek light
This is gross, this is undivided code

This is no letting up
Guy, we coming for their throat, this time
The magic is potent with each rhyme
A wake up call for those who need sounds
This is Victor Olaiya in 83
Highlife giants, they are all stars in the sea
They say the fruit never far from the tree
This the lineage that we formed
The real magic for real

And when it drops, watch the ground shake

This is William Onyeabor before he found faith
This is Victor Owife on new soundscapes
This is faith, the traditional of the grace life
2face ain’t no ache
2face ain’t no ache
Hands up if you relate
Hands up if you relate

This the magic, we created
This the magic, we created

Back when I was sharing thoughts for pennies
A man in the city trying to ball like Balloteli
When Indomie and egg was my Lobster with spaghetti
E dey tracks us, we the classics on a Deli
But, getting shunned by the Headies
With DND mode on the celly
I went to plak
Turn Jedi, 
With verses to pick the locks
Surgically like Yussuff, but getting sharp
Oh to be the top dog
Trying to connect the dots

So In 2011, we hit up our own church
To defeat the demon
To own yours
Way ahead of our time
Till Alaba was closed off
Took head of our own advice and entered the glow wars
Something in the music
We use to feel the passion
Underground moves was blue
Lets view the traction
Billion point one on the doubt

Could be ascension, tell them niggas
Who held you down in recession
I think therefore, I am
They god, entertain your Ted kings
Or succession like race stars
Before the Shane and sully
You string when they want defensive times
By dropping a bomb
So after you digging the craze
With due diligence
Happened to the Palmwine villages

Carbon names on the pyramids
This history is the moral
The syllabus play this back, you know what it mirrors is the magic moves
Asylum replay is loud magical brainstorming, not the grey cloud
Actions do the talking, we never chase clout
