ABYSSINIA
Land of beginning
First stomping ground
The flesh of the living
Favor resides above you
Home to coffee
Nile River as territory
Ark of the convent; a beautiful glory
The first church of all nation
Italy tried, failed in seizing you
Independent from continent
The Horn of Africa is confident
Tribalism conquered you
Instead of integration
Division within-nation captured you
What good is a celebration of independence
Prisoned by a lack of repentance
Ignorance hindered your growth
Inhabitants fight like toddlers
One race fighting for space
A house can’t stand if divided
Recognize Eritrea was misguided
New generation carrying ancestral hate
Preaching division; bless Abiy, a fresh plate
Neither lands were innocent
Bloodshed because of militant
Parroting families words
My generation thinks they’re distinctive birds
Youngin, embrace the culture
America has no culture
They’re appropriating yours, persistent vultures
Look at the new wave of braids
We all know our people rocked them for decades
Oromo wants to divide in misconception
Oromo, oppressed through persecution
The lands majority
Suppressed as minority
Tribalism tore the country
Corrupt leaders poisoned cognition
Opposite of democracy births division
Praying for a rainy day
Wash away callousness from hearts
Remove scales from eyes
Bow your knees, give praise
Stretch your hands to God and claim
Lion of Judah is waiting
Walk-in truth, not religion
Love your peers; you’ll expand in territories
Humble yourself before the Lord
Stop praying to Mary
Quit putting Angeles before God; only He is Holy
Salvation through Christ Jesus; no ritual redeems us
Culture tied your feet from progression
Unbind and flee, leave generational corruption
Sharpen your mind
Embrace all your lands tribe
Our identity is Nationality
We are one, no priority
Deliver your continent to victory
Mighty rulers, to you – an inheritance of a broad Kingdom
