about

Eyhe Asher Eyhe. I am what I am or I will be what I will be.

I am what I let myself be. Ancestral power is ancestral potential stored within our strands and plasma.

I have committed myself to recording a song every 7 days until the Vernal Equinox. The dedication to pouring positive energy into the atmosphere through melody and rhythm, at such a consistent pace has been a revealing task considering I also have a community to head and numerous other life obligations.

Consider this vocal freestyle a meditation.

lyrics

Facts will fail you
With belief in time
Trust not the tales
Of the creeping vines
They lie
They lie
Oh how they lie
Hear this truth and say
To the lights in the sky
Who am I

I am knowledge
I am knowledge
I am knowledge
I am knowledge
I am knowledge
I am knowledge
I am knowledge
I am knowledge

It's the quality or state of being wise
Knowledge of what is true or right
Coupled with just judgment as to action
Sagacity, discernment, or insight
Who am I

I am wisdom
I am wisdom
I am wisdom
I am wisdom
I am wisdom
I am wisdom
I am wisdom
I am wisdom

The ability to act
To create or affect
Possession or control
Have authority
To be strong
To be real strong
Who am I?

I am power
I am power
I am power
I am power
I am power
I am power
I am power
I am power

To be strong
To withstand danger
Fear or difficulties
To persevere into the unknown
Face your fears
To affirm
To affirm
To affirm
Just to affirm
Who am I

I am courage
I am courage
I am courage
I am courage
I am courage
I am courage
I am courage
I am courage

I am knowledge
I am wisdom
I am power
I am courage
I am knowledge
I am wisdom
I am power
I am
