lyrics

Verse 1:
Movement is medicine let's get together then cold from the windy city better get a sweater friend blowing through the streets ain’t pretty make you wanna jettison grounding problem solvers let us in sending letters in conversations we better than how we living in situations that's hindering future generations no patience that’s sending them towards self destruction eruption its killing them corrupted corporations relations not friends with them common demonstrations that’s racist the facts are in land grabs displacing erasing the history protect ya neck protect ya magic energy’s the currency build your wealth and legacy kiss a baby hug a tree respect the earth come naturally take responsibility love peace and harmony nature is your pharmacy nature is your pharmacy.

Chorus:
Remedies in water memories from daughter enemies they slaughter tell me who’s the martyr mami wata I am your daughter mami wata I am your daughter mami wata I am your daughter mami wata I am your.

Verse 2:
Create don't hate communicate ya fate don't wait eliminate the bait don’t take high stakes coming from the states the Great Lakes bodies of water connect nadis to mata tell me who’s hotter the earth or the shottas greed is the monster no seeds the imposter misleads and it fosters social needs that can cost us media feeds us rosters that leaves us lost us we bleed exhaust us we plead they toss us scraps from the losses maps to accost us my raps stay boss cuz ancestors sauced us.

Chorus:
Memories in water remedies from daughter symmetry’s the author Yemoya and I saw her mami wata I am your daughter mami wata I am your daughter mami wata I am your daughter mami wata I am your.

Bridge (Cher Jey):
Yemaya omi o mami wata lo lo lo Yemaya omi o mami wata lo lo lo Yemaya omi o mami wata lo lo lo rise up daughter omi o rise up daughter lo lo lo rise up daughter omi o rise up daughter lo lo lo Yemaya omi o mami wata lo lo lo mami wata lo lo lo Yemaya omi o mami wata lo lo lo Yemaya omi o mami wata lo lo lo Yemaya omi o mami wata lo lo lo rise up daughter omi o rise up daughter lo lo lo.
