When I die today Dying with the king I die a worthy death I can hear my ancestors calling The drums of my arrival My story has been told This is a marvelous sight My coffin I lay to rest Sorrow no more My demise a worthy story Weep no more My ancestors welcome me Great king What an honour To lay beneath your rest

Abobaku is a man that all his life he is being trained that when a king dies in Yoruba land he will be buried with the king. Being buried with the king is his destiny.
