It Sunday May 3rd 2009, a few minutes back I finished laying down the vocals for a brand new song, OjeKa Pada Sile, inspired and co-written with my brother Mongezi Ntaka whom you might have seen me sharing the stage with lately. I couldn't wait to mix this record before I share it with you all. For a very limited time I will have this song up here on myspace. I hope to encourage conversations and introspective dialogue between who we think we and who we really are. Though the song directly speaks to people of Africa and African descent, I believe it speaks to every body especially those who have strayed away from their core, culture, language, consciousness, what ever our true element is which I believe is Love. Enjoy, reflect and insight!

Lyrics: Ojeka Pada Sile (KUKU and Mongezi Ntaka, 2009)

Don't be be scared of who you are

Your roots lie in Africa

You can claim America, Europe, or South America

As educated as you are

Can you speak your mother tongue, read or write you Papas words

But you've mastered western law

Oje ka Papa sile (We have to return home)

Komo ko le so ede ile (Teach the children our language)

Oje ka papa si le (We have to return home)

Ko mo kole mo asa ile (Teach the children our ways and customs)

Our language is dying

Our talent are overseas

Black folks/Our folks will die to taste the western dream

We are blessed with all wealth

While the world cash in the chips

Why bake the bread, and settle for the crumbs

Oje ka Papa sile (We have to return home)

Komo ko le mo ede ile (Teach the children our language)

Oje ka papa si le (We have to return home)

Ko mo kole mo asa ile (Teach the children our ways and customs)
