Iboru iboya ibosheshe
When the head bows in respect every orisha hears
Walk steady in lucumí no pride in the heart when you pray
Elegguá waits at every door only respect clears the way
Ori must stay guarded no crack for osogbo to creep
Egun whisper wisdom at night they guard even while we sleep
Aché mi ori keep me aligned elegguá open my way
Maferefun egun guide every step so osogbo cant stay
Shangó give fire oshún bring sweetness when spirits sway
Iboru iboya ibosheshe i walk so the ashé stays
Obatalá brings clarity cool head when confusion calls
Oya shifts the winds around us removing what makes us fall
Shangó teaches courage to strike only when its right
Oshún reminds the heart to stay soft even when we fight
Aché mi ori keep me aligned elegguá open my way
Maferefun egun guide every step so osogbo cant stay
Shangó give fire oshún bring sweetness when spirits sway
Iboru iboya ibosheshe i walk so the ashé stays
Listen to elders who speak their words are not tradition alone
They carry keys from ancient rites from every shrine and throne
Godparents warn before storms they see what our eyes dont see
To walk lucumí with ego is to break your own decree
Aché mi ori keep me aligned elegguá open my way
Maferefun egun guide every step so osogbo cant stay
Shangó give fire oshún bring sweetness when spirits sway
Iboru iboya ibosheshe i walk so the ashé stays
Egun stand behind us strong when we feed them truth and light
They do not sleep or forget they rise when we stand to fight
If the head stays humble and clean no curse can pierce the skin
But when ego speaks louder than prayer thats when shadows win
Aché mi ori keep me aligned elegguá open my way
Maferefun egun guide every step so osogbo cant stay
Shangó give fire oshún bring sweetness when spirits sway
Iboru iboya ibosheshe i walk so the ashé stays
Lucumí is not spoken by tongue its lived by the way we stand
Ashé moves through discipline not by the wave of a hand
If the ori is honored each dawn the road stays bright and clear
