Bra Fie Home (African Spiritual)

[Intro] Ohhh… ehhh… Bra fie… bra fie… San bra fie… San bra fie… Before the ships… before the chains… before they changed the names… We had a home. [Chant] Bra fie… Bra fie… San bra fie… San bra fie… Remember… remember… Who you are… who you are… Ilé… ilé… Come home… [Verse 1] We came from the drum, came from the soil, gold in the blood, strength in the toil. Kings in the story, queens in the songs, somewhere on the road we forgot where we’re from. They changed the language, changed the names, but couldn’t pull the spirit out the veins. When that drum hit deep, tell me what you feel— Something old inside you saying… I’m still here. [Vocal Break] Mmm-mm-mmm… Bra fie… San bra fie… We are still here… [Chorus] Bra fie… Bra fie… San bra fie… Come back home… Black child, remember your name Your blood still carries the flame Bra fie… Bra fie… San bra fie… You don’t gotta search that far Africa lives where you are [Verse 2] Look in the mirror, look past the scars. Past every label they told us we are. Before every border, before every chain, we had our people, we carried our names. Different nations, different tongues, different drums, but the heartbeat one. Ghana to Benin, Togo to Naija— That old rhythm still inside us. So when you hear that drum… Padà relé… Come home. [Bridge] Bra fie! Bra fie! San bra fie! San bra fie! Ilé! Ilé! Remember the blood! Remember the drum! Remember the names! Remember where we come from! [Final Chant] Bra fie… Bra fie… San bra fie… Ilé… ilé… Remember… Remember Remember… Remember Remember who you are… Bra fie… Come home.
