Which Way Is Forward?

With a voice reminiscent of the great Fela Kuti and a drum beat that reminds us of artist Raury, G.O.C is a powerful track that makes you want to go to church, sit in a jazz club and be a part of a revolution all at once. He sings “In this dance, we dance together. On our streets its armageddon” this politically charged song is the voice of the new generation and really makes it feel like positive change can come from music.

Obongjayar - God's Own Children

"God's Own Children is inspired by protests from around the world and the resilience of my generation. It's a reminder that we're all in this together and that this world we inhabit right now is what we're inheriting from the generation passed. If it all goes down it affects all of us and in-turn affects the ones that come after us. There's a realization of that and an active resistance to the suppression and oppression that's happening to us. This song was also inspired by the dance moves coming out of Nigeria which in itself and of its character feels like a form of protest."
God's own children
Keep your head up
Press your weight against the winds that try to throw you
This place is ugly
Don't let it rob you
Of your face, of your grace, and of your body

It's your world now
Can you feel it
It's your world now
Can you...

In this dance, we dance together
On our streets it's Armageddon
In this fire, we fight together
No retreat and no surrender
In this dance, we dance together
On our streets it's Armageddon
When it's fire, we fight together
No retreat and no surrender

God's own children
Side by side
Flood the streets in defiance, we're sick and tired
Show your power
Super power
Let the sweat from your smiles fall like rain and drench the world beneath you

Show your power
Super power
Wash the world from your breath
Now it's time for action

In this dance, we dance together
On our streets it's armageddon
In this fire, we fight together
No retreat and no surrender
In this dance, we dance together
On our streets it's armageddon
When it's fire, we fight together
No retreat and no surrender

Keep on dancing
It's your weapon
They can't stop us
God's own children
God's own children

Keep on dancing
It's your weapon
They can't stop us
God's own children
God's own children

Keep on moving
It's your weapon
They can't stop us
God's own children
God's own children
