HERITAGE

They look at my last name and wonder where I come from 
I'm surprised at their ignorance
Like don't you see my crown son?
I come from a place where the sun's fury never seizes
Nevertheless everybody knows what a breeze is
It's what you catch 
When your days work is done
And you can relax
I'm from a place where 
Frogs don't run during day without a reason
Where the chick dances for the hawk but it doesn't please him
Where you don't ask who weaved a net when there's a spider in the room
Where 'aboa bi b3 ka wo a,  na 3fri wo ntoma mu'
Well, actually, it could have been from that bountiful land you just ploughed
As where I'm from the womb of our ground is well endowed
It bares us children 
but then we mutilate them 
In the name of protection
Against home made gods 
Even we don't trust
does that even make sense to us
You may not get it but I kinda understand
Yes I know my fathers, old habits are hard to ban
But we cant
Keep letting them dictate our lives
Rather than dedicate our lives to the one up high
I'm from a place where the children smile through their adversity
And our women stand strong for what they believe
Unfortunately only until the road gets too hard to hit it running
Desperate times call for desperate measures 
And everybody measures money
Even if it is against morality
And usually it looses
But I pray that people that value cash that much will stay a minority
That freedom and justice will remain our legacy
Especially the justice
Because the lack of it
Really bothers me
And I pray this through the Christ that strengthens me
Who actually is my father
So as an ashanti, naturally,
I take to his part of the family
So really if you ask me where I'm from
I should say 'the place that Jesus Christ my lord calls home'
