Lyrics
They tried to shape me with water from the Ogun river
Said my cracks were a sin, told me just to shiver
But pressure from a thumb can make a vessel stronger
I learned to hold my own, couldn't wait any longer
[Chorus]
'Cause this na Olumo clay, ah-ah
Fired in the Lagos rain
You see the pattern eh? My beautiful pain
E no fit break again, no-no
[Verse 2]
Planted my roots where the kola nut grows bitter
Listened for the drum when my own heart would glitter
You see this gold in the glaze? Omo, that shine is the proof
This earthenware spirit is the living truth
[Bridge]
So make you look how I hold this light
I no be fragile thing for your night
Carved my own name in the stone, you see
This is the woman I was meant to be
[Chorus]
'Cause this na Olumo clay, ah-ah
Fired in the Lagos rain
You see the pattern eh? My beautiful pain
E no fit break again, no-no
[Outro]
From Abeokuta... with the fire.
Yeah.
