Ampofo

Yeah

Hillstreet, born and bred

No dough

How we grew up

Sack us cos we couldn’t pay our school fees

No home

House to house moving

It was just two things

Grow and break the fucking pattern

Magye me coke ne me bread

Maybe toast maybe nope

Full of hope

So I’m still looking forward

Mehn I’m really getting sick and tired of all the chaos

I really deserve the peace and quiet

Mtchew

I just checked my wallet

And all be say I really really need to make some commas

Independent, is how my whole fuckin brain's wired

Nothing really dey my pocket all I get be my talent

Uh, I got a job few days, fired

Really hate the routine cos I know my dream is valid

So we stay solid throughout the rainy days

Never fold

Agyanka asɛm mmɔborɔwa

But I don’t back down

I go for mine now watwa fufuo nkɔntɔmoa

Wey he clean ein mouth wow

Like say we all dey hung how

Akokɔ sa kyerɛ akroma sɛ deɛn ɛnyɛ ne fɛ da o

Nea mɛyɛ bia ɛnyɛ wo fɛ da o why?

Asɛm ba a they leave me alone

So I’m breaking away to find my own now

I feel like a big fish in a small pond

So much potential but I’m limited by where I’m from

Mum's a hawker, dad's dead, I am all I got

Life of a loner none to talk to so I pen a song

They keep asking, "what's really wrong"

Tell them I'm okay even though I know for sure I'm not

Dying inside lots of demons inside

But I'll never open up I just throw a peace sign and move

Cos it’s better like that

They use your secrets as leverage that I know for a fact

Nea ɔse ɔdɔ wo no na ɔbɛ tɔn woasɛm dwaso sɛ dɔkono

I've got trust issues I'll rather keep my demons inside

They're not my friends cos when I need them I see no one in sight

Just me myself and I

Menkoa and I

If everybody gives up on me it don’t matter

I can’t give up on me never

(I can’t, for real)

Trappi wɔ Kanta Saturdays cos man for chop bro

Music barely pays cos I still dey my early days

Nso makyi nyɛ I can’t be lazy

I try to say it but them figa I be dbee cos I got a pretty face

I shun dey wait I come to take uh

What’s my motherfuckin fate

I know I possess whatever it takes

So I’m kicking till it breaks

All the suffering be phase

Daddy told I’m a great

So I’m pushing till they say it

Uh yeah detours but one vision

Menni more patience I'm tired of this suffering

Fie wura gye ne sika for weeks I've been dodging

Life’s lashing Odame and they ask what’s cooking

At first I go like, they don’t know what’s happening

Later I get happy at least they still listening

Put troubles aside then I enter kitchen

Cooking

Agyanka asɛm mmɔborɔwa

But I don’t back down

I go for mine now watwa fufuo nkɔntɔmoa

Wey he clean ein mouth wow

Like say we all dey hung how

Akokɔ sa kyerɛ akroma sɛ deɛn ɛnyɛ ne fɛ da o

Nea mɛyɛ bia ɛnyɛ wo fɛ da o why?

Asɛm ba a they leave me alone

So I’m breaking away to find my own now
