Lyrics

Middle Passage

[Verse 1]

I was coming home late from work

And I hear a voice from home

I turned and I saw this man

He told me he was an African

He’s mysterious, and intelligent

Has a PhD to his name

He's come to be a king in this land

Go ahead and be all you can

[Pre-Chorus]

You’re a soldier

And a conqueror

World place of mind is you

But they act like it's not true

How they hate on you

That’s why they try to destroy you

The days, struggles are true

I place no one above you

[Chorus]

Can't bring it all asoro

Atene lowa

My love

My love

My love

My love

Can't bring it all asoro

Atene lowa

My love

My love

My love

My love

[Verse 2]

You’re the reason I sang this song

The reason I sang at all

First born, Romeo

Ha, this one's for you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hair like a mouse, skin like the earth

Eyes sprung like fire

My hearts desire

[Pre-Chorus]

You’re a soldier

And a conqueror

World place of mind is you

But they act like it's not true

How they hate on you

That’s why they try to destroy you

The days, struggles are true

I place no one above you

[Chorus]

Can't bring it all asoro

Atene lowa

My love

My love

My love

My love

Can't bring it all asoro

Atene lowa

My love

My love

My love

My love

[Bridge]

Ola

Ola

I raise you high

I need you in my life

How far can my love go

As low

As low as the roots below

Or as high

As high

As high as the birds in the sky

[Chorus]

Can't bring it all asoro

Atene lowa

My love

My love

My love

My love

Can't bring it all asoro

Atene lowa

My love

My love

My love

My love

Can't bring it all asoro

Atene lowa

My love

My love

My love

My love

Can't bring it all asoro

Atene lowa

My love

My love

My love

My love
