Imana
Imana, is the Creator deity in the traditional Banyarwanda religion in Rwanda. In current-day usage, the term refers to the God as found in Christianity. Ancient Banyarwanda believed in one God, the creator "Imana". In Banyarwanda mythology, Imana was the creator and the supporter of all the Banyarwanda people.
The Banyarwanda people lived in the old districts of Ankole and Kigezi bordering Rwanda. Their land is very mountainous and cool and Imana was seen as almighty and gracious, intervening as in one of the legends of those people in an altercation between a man who has always borrowed beans from different people but wriggled out of repaying the debt.
Imana ruled all living things and gave them immortality by hunting an animal known as Death. Death was a savage wild animal who represented the state of death. While Imana was hunting, everybody was told to stay hidden so that Death would have nobody to kill or take refuge to. But one day while he was hunting, an old woman crept out into her vegetable garden to get vegetables. Death quickly hid under her skirt and was taken inside the house with her. She died because of Death. Three days after the funeral of the old woman, the old woman's daughter-in-law, who hated her, saw cracks where she was buried as if she would arise and live again. She filled the cracks with dirt and pounded the earth with a heavy pestle and cried, "Stay dead!" Two days later she did the same thing when she saw more cracks by the grave. Three days later there were no cracks left for her to pound dirt into. This signified the end of man's chances of coming back to life. Death had become endemic, or constantly present. Another legend says that Imana punished the woman by letting Death live with man.

Wow
by: Omen[?] relate to my reunion
High school barely knew my name
Now they are [?] when that limousine
Pulled up and everything seemed cooler
[?] so long can't measure with a ruler
[?] money and balloons with the wind tips
Everybody looking at me they haven't see a thing yet
I was [?] dreaming at the prom queen but those tight jeans
Had me [?] than the concrete but she only had time for the cool guys
IQ probably low than the shoe size boyfriend was the [?]
Every day I said I fight [?] now gonna show them
She probably got fat she probably got broke
I saw a picture of a couple and their kids
And prom queens family that died in a car crash
[Chorus:]
Every time I thought I had it all figured out
Life makes me sing wow wow
Every time I thought I had it all figured out
Life makes me sing wow wow
I met a girl named [?] she is so gorgeous
[?] take her to my fortress ride her like a horse
Let me to tease her she loves it when she torture
Open her ribs at a top speed screaming out don't stop please
Now she is walking [?] years past I ain't called her told her from the front [?]
I am a true [?] already wonder on to the next one
[?] my sister brought all of her friends and I am intruding
And my momma started [?] telling me [?] come and meet your cousins
This is your aunties [?] and you are all at first her name is [?]
[Chorus:]
Every time I thought I had it all figured out
Life makes me sing wow wow
Every time I thought I had it all figured out
Life makes me sing wow wow
