[Sarkodie] In the beginning na mene wo mienu were stuck on a slave ship But seisiaa deɛ we are free we on some ape shit
But yɛnnyɛ free totally we are still in a matrix Slavery yɛ stages seisei deɛ yɛduru stage six Ɛnyɛ physical systematical mind games Sɛ metena ase dwene ho kraa ɛtaa ma me migraine Freedom is expensive monkɔ checki price range Pure black children but now we bearing some white names Self hate your brothers and sisters adane cell mate I think its time that we open the hell gate We gotta push to be free before its hell late We can see between the lines but we still can´t read We are still in chains but the eyes can´t see We do have a choice but we still ain´t free Obi so mi mu I can´t breathe I just wanna be free
Free is when you decide for yourself Free, is when nobody is controlling your wealth Free, is when you stop begging people for help Free, is finally when you breaking out from a spell We in the 21st century they can´t be using guns no more, they playing games with the mind Akwesi broni no claimi democracy So we feel sey we see everything but we are blind The destruction of a man begins in the home So when they break up the home, they take over the throne Seisei etuo nda wo so nso yɛ se begye loan When you owe remember you cannot be on your own Cause you gotta to teach a man how to fish so they can survive a lifetime But eno no ɛnnyɛ abrofofoɔ no wish Ɛba no saa they gonna have a hard time
The United States of Africa is what they don´t wanna see But that´s the only way my people can survive They divide and conquer with just a brown paper bag, omo de cash abɛ tɔ yɛ pride So now we cherish the money and not the money machine They say they wanna invest, omo akoma mu nyɛ clean nkateɛ mpo montumi ndua But they will be claiming supreme The return of Martin Luther King, we still have a dream The voodoo magic is nothing evil, Akwesi broni use claimi sɛ ɛyɛ logic Ɛba no knowledge aa abibifoɔ bebree we are lacking Yɛ twa yɛ ntoro kɔ findi evidence to back it yɛnnyɛ nkodaa nti stop it
Omo yɛ electronic fri amanone bɛ tɔn bɛ claimi technology fuck it Okay they just be stacking they pack it but its not physical power They´re using supernatural energy for profit How the fuck are we able to talk on a phone How the fuck are we able to fly and control a drone How the fuck na nipa kraa yɛtumi nya ne clone Keep it a hundred, menua you are now on your own It´s time for my people to wake up My mind is made up, wei na yɛ frɛ no you looking out for your neighbour Mr. Preacher please can you do me a favor Ɛyaa men use microphone since the devil is a hater Martin Luther King flow we trying to develop, but the progress is being slow
They locked the door now we´re sneaking out the window They don´t want us to get access to the info The enemy keep on suppressing, we need some answers We trying to figure out some questions A rich continent but we are facing depression They strip us naked and try to take our possessions and now we facing recession Ah
[M.anifest] (Yɛ dwen sɛ) We be original don dada But everything that we do has been done dada Oil, gold, cocoa, minerals proper In the land of so much how is there hunger (How?) To fix this mess that be the hang up
Like a label in Tema build it from Ground Up Fist up, middle finger to all the kick backs Leaders just want chop dem for sit back Skin black, but is your mind too? Efie ne fie must I remind you? All the blood and toil that is behind you How did we get here? Let me share February 24th in ‘66 Nkrumah was overthrown by these pricks and dicks It makes me sick we’ve been brainwashed and shit All sorts of imports even the toothpicks Money come money go, we don’t make kotow So when we spend to the west our money dey go We pray for rapture Instead of focusing on manufacture Religion is a prison and we dying to be living And we losing our minds as we thinking of winning
And we bound to the chains of foreign exchange It’s a damn shame Ɛtodabia ɛyɛ ɛtodabia ɛnyɛ Bibifoɔ diɛ adufudiɛ na yɛ pɛ Aboa bi aka me ebia kakapɛ Since y´all like beef let me tell you who we’re beefing (Mek I mek my beef list) We beefing with Trump and his likes We beefing with vanity, doing it for likes Beefing with indiscipline for posterity Beefing with leaders, no integrity Beefing with plastic, ban it be drastic Afi wie diɛ pae mu ka, that’s a classic We for realize debi debi diɛ we past it Self-actualize don’t be thinking Jurassic Malcolm X when I express By any means yes
Many mountains to climb I guess So how can we ever rest? I must say if Ghana should be beyond aid Then solutions no fit be band aid I don’t care if the west is against us Forget dem, focus and fix us Nkabom that’s the people power The struggle is sweet mixed with sour Greatness is us, hashtag Don’t sell out for a brown paper bag uh
