Sarkodie – Black Excellence Lyrics
Sarkodie – Black Excellence Lyrics
INTRO
Yea.. Few things I’ve been thinking about these days
Yea.. Not like I got it figured out
But, I think it’s worth talking about it
Yea.. Listen.. Tie!
VERSE 1
The young ones we need to invest
Yɛntwa y’ani mfiri the people that we’re tryna impress
Nnamfofoɔ, the girls-girls, it’s just bringing us stress
Thousand dollar Gucci shoes, wo dwen sɛ ɛyɛ flex
You don’t need to keep up
The world is a trap
All you need is a f*cking tea cup, take a sip and relax
Think about it, we slaves mentally, and it sucks
Cos yɛ lacke confidence, that be why we showing off stacks
Society is really f*cked up, mayne I’m sorry
It takes a lot of dedication to build you a story
But nowadays mmaa no feeli boys a ɔmo bɛ show off
The ones with the drive and the vision is kinda boring
Girl no se ɔmpɛ wo a dawge, stay focused
ɔmo a ɔmo claime big boy pii no a bunch of jokers
Wo nnamfofoɔ se wo yɛ cheap, so they can’t hang around with you
That’s okay, hang around with stock brokers
Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, how to dream
Hardwork, dedication, discipline, extreme
Tɔ dabi a you feel left out, sometimes it seems like damn!
Don’t you worry, wo nsɛm wɔ wo tirim
Obi kura hundred and fifty thousand to show off
Of course, he can make you feel like you’re broke
But you own two houses, and a whole lot of investments
Trust me, ne sika no yɛ joke
You don’t need a huge amount of money to succeed
You can start with nothing, your passion is all you need
Me me whole life I never had a capital
I just flipped, me de me timing na sow seed
Wiase no nnyɛ real nowadays
We’re still slaves though we’re not in chains and the cave
But we still crave for the Gucci and try to replace true happiness with these silly things we dey praise
Akwasi broni bɛkɔ mall, ɔbɛtɔ jeans baako ɛne Lacoste bɛyɛ four
Obibini ne sika sua nso ɔbɛtɔ more
Cos wo repeatie pɛ yɛbɛsere wo, buy the whole store
ɔtumi kɔ bie cold store but no
Making people happy, but you not happy within
Nea nnipa bɛka nti daa na wo fakie to tee
ɔkyena party bi nti ɛwɔ sɛ wo hwe Louis Vuitton
Wow! You the hardest nigga in the scene
Live rich but you die poor
Wei yɛ sensitive, nti na me nkɔ no hardcore
And we gotta teach the kids
What you wear doesn’t matter, what you feed the brain is worth more
SKIT (H. E. Nana Akufo Addo)
I think there is a fundamental misstatement of the issue of in the question
We can no longer continue to make policy for ourselves
And our country
And our region
And our continent
On the basis of whatever support the Western world,
Or France
Or the European Union can give us
It will not work
It hasn’t worked, and it will not work
Our responsibility is to charter a path
Which is about how we can develop our nations ourselves
It is not right
