MUSIC: Alex Amos – Heaven (ft Tamara Ebidi) | @KingingAlex

Published

on

SelahAfrik‘s head honcho, Alex Amos digs into a 10-year-old archive to deliver the Christian Hip Hop song titled “Heaven.” The song featuring the vocals of singer Tamara Ebidi, is a walk into the psyche of the average Nigerian youth, thrust into the socio-economic hardship that demarcates dreams from realities with a huge gap; put up against the backdrop of the Christian Faith.

Alex speaks of a place of escape where there are no guilt, regrets, struggles nor strive and compares such peace with what Heaven must be like. Having justified that Heaven is both a location and a state of mind, he breaks into worship as led by the voice of Tamara Ebidi.

“I wrote ‘Heaven’ at a time when I was trying to understand what true happiness really is. Is it the fulfillment of your dreams and aspirations? Is it the fulfillment of the purpose for which God put you on earth?

Is it being able to secure a well paying job or just having enough money to live a good life? Or is happiness a by-product of joy, which is a state that defies the external factors, either good or bad. I tried to address these in the 3 verses of the song but I am leaving you to decide,” Alex Amos said.

The chorus of the song was adapted from the original song released in the early 90s, titled “Mimo” by The Choir, C&S Movement Church, Surulere District HQ (Ayo Ni O) as led by Pro. (Dr) Sunday Funso Korode. It was rearranged by popular producer Young D.

The Trap music instrumentation was produced by Teekaywitty of Henrisoul‘s “Bad Man” fame.

LYRICS IN LETTERS:

Intro:
I had a dream last night God spoke to me)2x
(Imma tell you what He said real quick)
Verse 1:
He said happiness
That word is so underrated
But at times it can be so overrated
Livelihood
Means the hood where you are lively
Exist in your mind or the hood you inhabit
Means your job may not really make you happy
Especially if you make money through crime habit
State of mind
Come take a walk in mine
It’s Beautiful – Beautiful
Be-You-Till-Full
It’s beautiful making money off what you are build to do
You can be all you want to be don’t let no one belittle you
Get to you, get into you, Get into your head
Love is gonna get you, Yes! KRS said
Especially whhen you base success on material wealth
Had a dream last night but I wasnt close to sleep
I was wide awake, yet had a dream like Martin
Cos where my mind goes, it don’t go with my body
Bridge:
Must be what Heaven feels like
No guilt, no stress, just peace of mind
Must be what heaven feels like
No guilt, no stress, just peace, no strive
And I heard them singing
Chorus:
Won Korin mimo
Mimo, mimo
Mimo Lori ite
Olorun, orun aiyeraye
Verse 2:
Where my mind goes is far from JK
Where my mind goes, only I understand when I explain
Where my mind goes, from this world its lost
Come take a walk in the streets made from thoughts
Here I can escape, here my heart don’t hurt
Sky so blue I just soak up the sun
No 10 to 9 waiting for the next pay at my shop
I’m there when the hood wakes, I’m there when the doors are shut
The birds don’t sing no more in JK
It’s been replaced by hustle noise as buses take people away
Where are they going? When will they be back
When they get back will they come back with some cash
Or at least some happiness or next day repeat the past
It’s why, every day I leave too
But not on those buses
I go to a place with angels and winged horses
My pain and my joy, here finds justice
Bridge:
Must be what Heaven feels like
No guilt, no stress, just peace of mind
Must be what heaven feels like
No guilt, no stress, just peace, no strive
And I heard them singing
Chorus:
Won Korin mimo
Mimo, mimo
Mimo Lori ite
Olorun, orun aiyeraye
Verse 3:
Lord where am at is far from where I target
And where am at is far from where I started
But I ain’t gone trade value for music they can dance to
Maybe when I’m gone they’ll understand what I do
Cos for you, I’m a bury all my idols
All I once held there, all I gave life to
Know I’m a work in progress so this bible
Beyond the sky-cloud is where I look
Reprise:
Awon Agbagba merin lelogun
Won juba won yi itereka
Won ko mimo sio oluwa
Olorun orun aiyeraye
Bridge:
Must be what Heaven feels like
No guilt, no stress, just peace of mind
Must be what heaven feels like
No guilt, no stress, just peace, no strive
And I heard them singing
Chorus:
Won Korin mimo
Mimo, mimo
Mimo Lori ite
Olorun, orun aiyeraye

Lyrics
Our faith is rising
Our light is shining
We’re taking over
the nations for our Christ

North South East and West
Dry bones shall rise again

Yes we believe Him
And we can see it
Our nation
shall be strong and great again

North South East and West
Dry bones shall rise again 4x

Dry bones shall rise again

RAP
There is a momentum bubbling from the Equitorial Guinea , go to Egypt
Let the ancient symbols teach you prophecies weightier than philosophy
It’s time for Africa bro rise and predict
It’s time and season
We are taking over like warriors
As mighty warriors before the Lord we overthrow Nimrods

Can Africa hear the matchings of Gideon
It is strategic
It is unconventional
What you thought will die is not dead
And what was a sleep was only hibernating , building it’s drum
So what you thought was loud was only
Scratching the surface

Every mountain that stands before
Zerrubabel move
You don dey form unshakeable
A command that is non negotiable
No delay , move
This is how restoration sounds
This is not nostalgia or a feel good sermon
This is restitution
For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down
That at the scent of water
It will sprout again
So dry bones come alive
Africa arise and shine for your light has come

Chorus
North South East and West
Dry bones shall rise again

Outro
Our land is prospering
Our people thriving
Where there was sorrow
There is joy peace life and Hope

Our faith is rising
Our light is shining
We’ve taking over
The nations for our Christ

Serving as the triumphant sixth and final track on her newly released debut EP, Worthy God, the song highlights Anu-Oluwapo’s signature style, blending heartfelt Yoruba lyrics with deep scriptural truths to deliver comfort to a weary world.

Many are the works of your hands lord

Everything you made is good oh

You raised a standard against him
That is why you are God
