Yorubaland, or Yorùbáland (Yoruba: Ìlẹ-Yorùbá), is a cultural region in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo that includes the indigenous territory and cultural reach of the Yoruba people.
Oduduwa is regarded as the legendary progenitor of the Yoruba. There are two versions of the story of how he achieved this feat.
This version also has two variants:
(A) A certain number of divinities were to accomplish the task of helping earth develop its crust. On one of these visits the Arch divinity (Obatala) took to the stage equipped with a mollusk that held in its shell some form of soil; two winged beasts and some cloth like material. In this, the soil was emptied on a flat marshy area and soon after, the winged-beasts began to scatter this around until the point where it gradually made into a patch of dry land; the bigger piles became hills and the smaller piles valleys.
The Arch divinity leaped on to a high-ground and named the place Ife. The land became fertile and plant life began to flourish. From handfuls of earth the Arch divinity began to mould figurines, gathering the gasses from outer space Olódùmarè sparked an explosion that shaped into a fireball, the destination of which was set for Ife, where it dried much of the lands and simultaneously began to bake the motionless figurines. It was at this point that Olódùmarè released the "breath of life" to blow across the land, and the figurines slowly came into "being" as the first people of Ife.

End of the world
Do you even care?
and they take it all away
and they take it all away
away, away, away
Fall before the girl
Do you even want her?
Are you blind?
If you weren't you were always blind
Are you blind?
You shake the world with everlasting times
Are you blind?
Making everyone and every little thing your damn whore
Are you blind?
Are you blind?
Are you blind?
Are you blind?
Then the end become chaos
Do you even care?
and they take it all away
and they take it all away
away, away, away
Are you blind?
If you weren't you were always blind
Are you blind?
You shake the world with everlasting times
Are you blind?
Making everyone and every little thing your damn whore
Are you blind?
Are you blind?
Are you blind?
Are you blind?
You shake the world with everlasting times
[Run-D.M.C.]
Tenement buildings, and skyscrapers
[Run]
Are polluted and often invaded
with troubled hearts, and weakened minds
Living their lives and hoping to find
the golden key, to prosperity
Never have a grip on reality
This makes day to day living hard
Trumpin your fate, never peepin the card
You just goin through life without a trace
when the answers you seek are in front of your face
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[Run] Tell 'em D!
[D.M.C.]
You're headed for the top, or so you think
But that's not true for you, your life is on the brink
of self-destruction, total corruption
You better get out or die from consumption
Sweat for a dollar, to get nothin back
Cause at the end of the week, you still get taxed
You'd even sell your soul to make your life correct
But with the rate of inflation you should eat your check
So you try to make a hustle, to get ahead
But the only thing you manage is to stay in the red
Coppin from John, to sell to Rex
And your jones for success has put your life in check
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[Run] And you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind!
[Run]
So you think the facts means you can't win
So you devote your time to a life of sin
[D.M.C.]
Hangin out late is how you survive
Makin deals, talkin jive, and tellin lies
Pressure beatin you down
[Run] Like you're not handlin
And all the while, your mind is ramblin
[Run] About bein fly
Or even sly
[both] And bein held low in the public eye
You decide these things but you don't know why
[both] You're standin on a corner cold playin the post
Cause another sucker you were chillin the most
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[Run] Yo you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[D.M.C.]
You (Run) round talkin bout what you hate
Livin your life just to perpetrate
You think your style is chill, because you're always cold
with your platform shoes and your fake gold
[Run] So you think you're bad
Sheer dynamite
But if you only knew the crew called you freak's delight
[Run]
Wearin the tightest jeans, and shortest skirt
You think you're cold chillin, lookin like a jerk
No matter what you do, come out second rate
[DMC] Thinkin you're on time but you're already late
You're blind
[Run] You're blind! And you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind!
[Run] And you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind!
[DMC] The moral to the story may not be clear
[Run] And the only way to catch it is to lend an ear
[DMC] Stop frontin so hard
[Run] Why don't you peep your card?
[DMC] And your goals in life may not be far
Because these words I say are meant for you to hear
So if you bust these facts you will persevere
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[Run] And you can't see
[DMC] You needs to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind!
[Run] And you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[Run] And you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[Run] And you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[Run] And you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
[Run] like D.M.C.
[both] You're blind! [2X]
[Run] And you can't see
[DMC] You need to wear some glasses
It hides inside one stupid disguise
to self create a mirage of purity
offering you, your sins forgiveness
giving your self...your self away!
They are thirsty for you
from your fears they feed
they are thirsty for you!
You are blind,
in front of lies!
Their words hypnotize you
they take...advantage of your fears
your ignorance makes them stronger
you are the slave...slave to the lies!
They are thirsty for you
from your fears they feed
they are thirsty for you!
You are blind,
in front of lies!
You turn yourself into a victim
you have no spirit on your own
but you feel joy!
with the salvation they promise you!
The fear doesn't give you an opinion
your self is devoured by parasites
the fear doesn't give you an opinion
your self is devoured!
[1st solo: C. Illanes, 2nd solo: E. Belmar]
You are blind,
in front of lies!
They are thirsty for you
from your fears they feed
She's careful and crazy
You think she's broken hearted
The sadness of the world is where the conversation started
You want to be with her, cause you think you can save her
But she likes the way she is, and says that's the way God made her
But you know that you can love her
With a love that lasts forever
So you hold her so closely
Cause you know that you are blind
She takes you many places
So you go there together
Ride's always stormy, your short will get better
She touches you so softly
Sometimes you can barely feel her
She tells you she's your lover,
But your mind, it knows better
And just when you want to leave her
She brings you into her body
And your head goes to sá¹—inning
And you know that you are blind
So maybe tomorrow, she'll be gone forever
It's always her favor, if you'll be together
It's hard to imagine, that she is only human
She's really no different than any other woman
But you'd carry her forever
No matter what the distance
Because you believe her,
The lights spell: I miss you - but it's a big city
If I stay at the same place long enough
Sooner or later I'll run into you
The airplane banner says: Marry me
But it's a big city
Over and over I think that it's you
But it never is when I get there
Love is cheap but you are not!
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love,
a million for your love
All the graffitti says: maybe i'm the one
But it's a big city
Nobody else will love you like I do
They say love is blind but baby so are you
Freedoms free but love is not
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love,
a million for your love
Well, it's a big city and it's full of signs
But you keep missing them, yeah, you keep missing them
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love,
no time to hesitate
or you're gonna be replaced
i'm in need of this and that
i don't want a heart attack
it looks like you're coming back for more
i'm trying to find another state of mind
but that's the only reason that we made it here
it looks like you're never coming back for more
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down
are you blind? can you see, what's right in front of me?
are you blind? can you see, what's right in front of me?
go ahead, label me, it doesn't mean anything
i agree to disagree
i'm compelled to let you be
it looks like you're coming back for more
do your part, have your fun
i think i am the only one
step up and understand
now you put it all on chance
it looks like i'm never coming back for more
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down
are you blind? can you see, what's right in front of me?
are you blind? can you see, what's right in front of me?
get up, get up, get up if you're ready to go
get up, get up, get up if you're ready to go
get up, get up, get up if you're ready to go
get up, get up, get up if you're ready to go
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down, going all the way down
going down, going down
are you blind? can you see, what's right in front of me?
are you blind? can you see, what's right in front of me?
are you blind? can you see, what's right in front of me?
