Music: Davina Oriakhi – Hosea 4v6 [Video+Lyrics]

British Nigerian Singer-Songwriter, Davina Oriakhi comes through with brand new single along with a lyric visual titled, “Hosea 4v6“, produced by Lex Amor and Davina Oriakhi.

On her new record “Hosea 4v6”, the singer is just as enthralling and melodious, carrying a message; on African suppression and freedom.

Inspired by her personal journey into what she refers to as “Hidden African History”; her new release is a direct product of her research and consumption of related information around the subject from the British Library, as generally African history hasn’t always been accessible or taught to the artist.

Listen below.

LYRICS

Verse 1:
They have rewritten, our history
Left no traces, a mystery
Buried our systems underneath the ground
Where we stomp our feet and play our music loud
They have succeeded in reprogramming
Found a religion in the lies and schemes
And we are victim to the trespassing
Of our Spirit’s minds and our bodies

Our bodies
Don’t fall back
Our bodies
Don’t fall back
Our bodies
Don’t fall back

Verse 2:
What if we rise
Rise above the ceilings and the highs
Conscious elevation and unite
Unlearn re-learn
And come alive

Chorus:
Cos My people perish
(People perish people perish)
For lack of knowledge
(for lack of knowledge, lack of knowledge)
My people perish
(my people perish)
For lack of knowledge

For lack of knowledge

Outro:
My people my people
They perish
For lack of for lack of knowledge
My people my people they perish
For lack of for lack of knowledge
For lack of for lack of knowledge
For lack of for lack of knowledge
