Title: Agni & Aṣẹ
[Invocation – Whisper / Chant]
Aṣẹ… Agni…
Breath before language, pulse before name
[Verse 1 – Afro]
I was carved from rhythm, not from rest
Mother drum stitched a heart in my chest
Before I spoke words, my blood could sing
Every step I take wakes an ancient thing
I don’t chase light, I become the spark
I read tomorrow inside the dark
My shadow walks with a crown of scars
Each one a map to forgotten stars
[Pre-Chorus – Afro]
When the ground shakes, I listen close
The earth don’t lie, it only knows
If you fear the fire, you’ll never see
What the flame was meant to make of me
[Chorus – Hindi]
Main aag nahin, main uska arth hoon
Main raakh nahin, main phir se janm hoon
Jo toot ke bhi gaana seekh le
Wahi sach mein azad ho
Main bol nahin, main saans hoon
Main dar nahin, vishwaas hoon
Jab rooh bole, sharir sune
Us pal ka main itihaas hoon
[Verse 2 – Hindi]
Samay ne mujhse sab kuch poocha
Par maine sirf sach ko socha
Jo chheen liya tha kal ne mujhse
Usi se aaj mera swar bana
Main bheed ka hissa kabhi tha hi nahi
Main raaste ka shor bhi nahi
Main woh khamoshi hoon jo cheekh ban jaaye
Jab jhooth ki deewar hilaaye
[Bridge – Afro (Polyrhythm Flow)]
Drum talks in circles, heart replies straight
I don’t knock on doors, I bend my fate
Old gods hum where my veins align
Past and future lose track of time
[Drop – Half-sung / Half-chanted]
Aṣẹ in my spine
Agni in my breath
I don’t run from death
I run through it
[Final Chorus – Hindi (Elevated, Raw)]
Main jeet ka nishaan nahin hoon
Main ladai ka sach hoon
Jo gir ke bhi nazar utha le
Main us aankh ka haq hoon
Main ant nahin, main aarambh hoon
Main shabd nahin, main anubhav hoon
Jab taal mile aur rooh jale
Us kshan ka main praarambh hoon
[Outro – Afro Whisper]
No flag, no throne, no borrowed name
Just rhythm remembering itself
Aṣẹ… Agni…
And the spirit keeps dancing 🖤🔥
