Brown Paper Bag |
| 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 |
| (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 |
