I'm a Tiv Boy

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
