"Alone..."

I was late to the game catching up with "Wakanda Forever", and I've already had Rihanna's "Lift me up" from the film in this series... The reality is that it was a brilliant film, with a powerful soundtrack.

I could have picked a whole host of songs that carried emotions and enhanced what was going on in the film, and the reality of a sequel without its leading man due to Chadwick Boseman's absence.

That funeral scene at the start was raw. I wonder how many of those tears were real, how much of the ritual we see was created for him by people who wanted to celebrate him in their own way?

This song, ​"Alone" plays as Wakanda prepares to take the fight to Talokan following Namor's flooding of the capital city and his murder of Queen Ramonda.

Preparing for what is to come, without the presence of the warrior that led you so capably before?
Where does my help come from?
Am I really alone in this?
​God help me.

Ooh, ooh, mmh, mmh
It's just another night
Just another fight for my life
It's alright, because everything dies
Nobody know why
Wetin I go do?
Wetin you go do when you feeling like you're falling
And you can't find nothing to hold on to?
Memories ahh-ooh
Carry me go
Carry me go, oh na, yeah
Sick and tired of it all, take me far away
Mr. DJ, gbemi trabaye
Now I no fit trust anybody
Na hin mek I no fit shout
My body don dey tire, eh
E make me madder, eh
My head don scatter, eh
My Holy Father, eh
My body don dey tire, eh
E make me madder, eh
When my whole world is set on fire
Don't leave me alone
Wetin you go do?
Wetin you go do
When you're feelin' like you're screaming really loud?
But nobody hears you
I see it in your eyes
I see in your eyes the betrayal and the lies
You've been pulling out knives from your behind
Count every blessing
Count every lesson
You fit no dey tomorrow
So I count every second
Don't let them take my head
And dance over my dead
Body, yeah
Body, yeah
I'm weak, I'm blind five me the strength
I need for my body, yeah
Body, yeah
My body don dey tire, eh
E make me madder, eh
When my whole world is set on fire
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Oh, God, don't let me go down
Don't let me go down
As far as I can see, na di memories
Dem dey carry me from reality
No require visa, I have been
Very quietly, yeah
And I need you to remind me why
Give me the strength to keep fighting
'Cause I no fit trust anybody
Na hin mek I no fit shout
My body don dey tire, eh
E make me madder, eh
My head don scatter, eh
My Holy Father, eh
My body don dey tire, eh
E make me madder, eh
When my whole world is set on fire
Don't leave me alone
Ooh, ooh, mmh, mmh
