I saw seven youths walking by outside the other day
You’d think out to enjoy the sun and the ray
7 on their phones, nothing to say
Or perhaps no one to say it to
No one was listening to the ones around them
Those within reach, so out of reach
What’s really going on in the world today
Analog I remain
Yes I remain
Take a look where you’re going
Give them some real advice
Engaged in their digital haze
Obsessed with damn device
It was supposed to improve communication
Now we’re inna self-imposed isolation

Back in the day
We played ball every day
Computers were sci-fi
Back in the day
A gig was a job it was something that would pay
Rams were animals no megabytes no way
Memory was inside
Now you buy and upgrade
A window was something you had to clean
Ram was the cousin of goat, hear what I mean
Meg was the name of a woman around the way
A gig was a job for those long nights I say
Searches solving problems
Others grow by the day
Crippled without internet
Ah so dem stay

axum
This one ya named Axum (Axumite)
Glorious Axum (Axumite)
This one ya named Axum (Axumite)
Never could you die
Never could you fade and never you divide
Oh Oh Axum
Oldest capital in Tigray region
Home to the hosts and legion
Teff we did ah trade inna the season
Yodit guilty of treason
Economic dominance inna the region
Ark of the Covenant reason
Ezana separate from the heathen
Still unbeaten
We worked so hard on the obelisk I
33 meters high
Underground counter work mystify
King of Kings from the time of Za Haqalai
Sheba where she grow and she reside
Menliek born, Menilek die
St. Mary of Zion was built by Janhoi
This one ya named Axum (Axumite)
Glorious Axum (Axumite)
This one ya named Axum (Axumite)
Never could you die
Never could you fade and never you divide
Oh Oh Axum
Before the Romans wrote
It was the beginning of the Silk Road
Where we did honor and we did hold
Chapel of the Tablet and the Tablets of the Law
It was the city where the Emperors were crowned
A pilgrim's holy destination
Where the bath of Sheba was filled with milk of goat
And we still celebrate the festival Timket
This one ya named Axum (Axumite)
Glorious Axum (Axumite)
This one ya named Axum (Axumite)
Never could you die
Never could you fade and never you divide
Oh Oh Axum
