T. Jay Orafa - I'm a Tiv Boy Lyrics

We hail from the Bantu line, strong and bold
Our roots run deep in stories untold
Great farmers and warriors, standing tall
From our fathers' fields to the battle call

Pounded yam and pocho on the plates
Ishwa warming hearts, we celebrate
When the beats drop, we own the stage
Tiv dance moves, setting the pace
I'm a Tiv Boy, proud and free
I'm a Tiv Boy, rooted in history.

From the Benue plains where the rivers meet
Our culture's rich, our spirit can't be beat
Global rhythms bow to our style
Tiv dances stretch across the miles
Warriors of the past, farmers of today
We work the land, we pave the way

Pounded yam and Pocho on the plates
Ishwa warming hearts, we celebrate
When the beats drop, we own the stage
Tiv dance moves, setting the pace
I'm a Tiv Boy, proud and free
I'm a Tiv Boy, rooted in history

In every field and every war
Tiv blood flows with strength and more
We stand united, one and all
From the cradle to the festival hall

Pounded yam and pocho on the plate
Ishwa warming hearts, we celebrate
When the beats drop, we own the stage
Tiv dance moves, setting the pace
I'm a Tiv Boy, proud and free
I'm a Tiv Boy, rooted in history

Its our job to tell the world our story
A responsibility to our culture and glory
Tiv blood, Tiv pride, Tiv strength in us
I'm a Tiv Boy, from here to eternity

Pounded yam and Pocho on the plate
Ishwa warming hearts, we celebrate
When the beats drop, we own the stage
Tiv dance moves, setting the pace
I'm a Tiv Boy, proud and free
I'm a Tiv Boy, rooted in history
