ÌFÉ - The Tearer (Bembe) Lyrics

Queens, Brooklyn, NOLA, Kingston, San Juan, T-Dot,
Lagos, Cape Town

She loved the flyest dancer, He wore the highest crown
He quickly fell before her, She will take them all in time
Her twist the wheel of fortune, We draw the number nine
This rain will take me under, She will take them all in time

She rides, day dies, night waits
Cold drops, wind blows sideways
White lies, children pretend
She stirs, men and trees bend
Get down, get back, get way
Black souls, black clouds don’t play
Hold on, hold back no way
Ain’t no tongue could tell it, God knows

Trickster, Teacher, Chaos, Clay!!

Two swords, One god awake now
Thine eyes, Rude Boys’ll break down

Oh ye ye Iku!

Death’s door, Knock Knock we wait now
Newtown, Parkland debate now

Oh ye ye Iku!

Crash course, Two towns await now
Life Death, X-Men mutate now
Her hand, Goddam, we shake now

Create, Create, Create, Create, Create, Create, Create, Create, Create, Create, Create,

She loved the flyest dancer, He wore the highest crown
He quickly fell before her, She will take them all in time
Her twist the wheel of fortune, We draw the number nine
This rain will take me under, She will take them all in time

She rides, day dies, night waits
Cold drops, wind blows sideways
White lies, children pretend
She stirs, men and trees bend
Get down, get back, get way
Black souls, black clouds don’t play
Hold on, hold back no way
Ain’t no tongue could tell it, God knows

Trickster, Teacher, Chaos, Clay!!

9 graves, 9 nights we wait now,
Black Lives, Proud Boys relate now

Oh ye ye Iku!

VR, IG escape now
Warsaw, Paris we late now

Oh ye ye Iku!

4 twins, Six Five see me
Koontz Lake, Dunlap believe me
Mendo, San Juan dime
