Survival (feat. Khofi Koojan, Lobo EL & NCY Milky Band)

Been through hell
Been through fire
Where we from
We push harder
Giving up me I never
Ready for what ever
Man a strong like a soldier soldier

Up and awake, we give thanks and praise
Hustler got no holiday
Tutu m'anamon si baabi yie
Mɛ na mɛ nie
Woi Jah Jah guide my way

Up and awake, we give thanks and praise
Hustler got no holiday
Tutu m'anamon si baabi yie
Mɛ na mɛ nie
Woi Jah Jah guide my way

If I look how far we came
And I look forward and the miles looks the same
We keep going till we gone
The deepest journey is within
One day it will be said
Young guy from the slums
Starved hard and made it
When I do am big way dem start asking questions
Tell them I worked for it
Koojan is on the track
Koojan is on the track

Let em know we coming from the gutter
Everblazing man, can't stop the fire
We going global, mama you born a star
If you don't know my guy, you know now

Spend my hardest days alone
While everybody believed, that I was fine
Ohiaa si m'aso, death and dump
Obra twa m'akyi, front and back

Hakuna Matata, evergreen forever
Still ten toes, things gone be better
Koojan the disturber, the rap messiah
Rock of ages, the lion of Judah

Ring ring on my phone top
Ɛyɛ sikasɛm'a, we coming there
Fuck love, gimme bag
Pour my heart on the beat, very sad

Waiting for my sunshine
Akua kyerɛ mesɛ nyame nda ɛr
All good things takes time
I seek for water but they gave me wine

Meyɛ Ghananii, Kumasi dehyeɛ
Maba no m'ɔnbusa me nante seɛ
Khofi maso se akurase hyeɛ
Do or die sedeɛ mmra no sɛi

If you win, you win for billions
When you fail, you fail alone
Nyankopɔn mesrew ma menya
Deɛ ɛsi mani so, before I go

Going back, oh no
I'm gone be great one day I know
Soon time dem a go know
Mepɛ dabre papabi ama mɛ soul

I'm a stranger in my own city
Adeɛ akyi nkoaa deɛ yɛ bɛ didi
On god on geng we gon make it
Can't pretend can't fake it

I've got a lot to share with y'all
Oliver Twist mɛpe no more
Breaking curse, breaking the laws
Shouts to the fans who dey show we support

I'll be well on this journey
Belly pains for lazy, I grind daily
Fa wɔ dɔ nigga gimme money
Na m'ɛnshishi mɛ hɔ, na m'ɛntu mi terki

M'ɛnduru deɛ mepesɛ me duru
But I'm not where I used to be
I'm the last of a dying breed
Mɔ pɛse mɛ wu ansa a'na m'agye mɛ adi

Wrote with many pen, float like Eminem
Fuck cheaters, fuck acting like Suarez in 2010
Life ain't no fairy tale
Lobo EL le véritable
J'me détache des étiquettes
J'peux foutre le fuego anywhere

Y'en a qui ont que la gueule pour nous causer
Les actes avant les paroles ouais tu connais

Khofi Koojan representing for Ghana
I thought I told y'all, I'll build for mama

Tu sais bien qu'on n'est pas là pour la moula
Mais dorénavant c'est fini le bénévolat

Khofi m'asi mɛ bɔ mɛ de soap
M'awe ataaso fre sɛ meyɛ bold

Je suis comme la pierre qui descend de la falaise
Je prends de la vitesse et reviens en mode balèze
De mon vocabulaire j'ai banni paresse
Koojan et Lobo y'en a pas 10 pareils

Where we from we don't give up
Loose paa deɛ naa never
Gimme wings make I fly better
Can't waste my time I'm a hustler

Boom!

Where we from, we push harder
Giving up, giving up, giving up
Up and awake, we give thanks and praise
Hustler got no holiday
Tutu m'anamon si baabi yie
Mɛ na mɛ nie
Woi Jah Jah guide my way
