lyrics

Baby come make I play like a wire
No be talk, no be joke, no be cinema
Original le le
Original le le

Omo make you follow follow for road
Commot your load
Arch yo back
Make time lose track
Omo make you follow follow for road
Commot your load
Arch yo back
Make time lose track

The way that you dey looku at me make me think say you come from the amazon
The way you dey roll yo body make me think say you come from the Amazon
That is why I
That is why I now

Ju apa,gbe ese ibadi ko ma ro
Ju apa,gbe ese ibadi ko ma ro

See the fresh princess with the gobé
Never gave a damn what the people say
A monarch butterfly
You don’t deserve to die
See the way the braid wrapped tight like e bantu
Shea butter baby with the cantu
A foreign universe
To break your people’s curse

The way you dey looku at me make me think say you come from the amazon
The way you dey roll yo body make me think say you come from the Amazon
That is why I…
(Oya!!!)That is why I…

Omo make you follow follow for road
Commot your load
And arch your back
Make time lose track
Omo make you follow follow for road
Commot your load
And arch your back
Make time lose track

African woman,she go dance the fire dance
African woman,she go dance the fire dance
She go dance the fire dance
She go dance the fire dance
She go say
She go say
She go say I be lady o
Gbo’no,she go say I be lady ooo

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
