Power

I'll give it a minute
Y'all finna think I'm an animal
They done called me a cannibal
I been knew I'm a decimal
I'm a part of a whole lotta figures
Y'all holding accountable
I'm respected I'm honorable
You're vulnerable
The hunger and thirsting for power was never a part of the plan
Hwɛ me Genesis
School trou no yɛ venomous
White socks, shoe brown no yɛ hand me down
Fine boy but ohia ne me nemesis
Eddie me father sua mason
Maa so yɛ kwenkwen dealer
16 years but menim dada
Sɛ yɛ benya dough nkoaa deɛ a
Agye me yɛ the bread winner with a plan
I for do am for the fam
We for jemi the trenches
Eddie I never wanted attention
Uni na menyaa the visibility from SRC a na wohia me
Okyeame Amoabeng hostel mate
I for mana bring change
And when I swore to serve, my hand was on the Bible
Fix the country, me I declare the title
Influencer's influenza done infected Twitter —
Neɛ mɛka biara yɛ viral
Me I be the idol
I dey bring back joy, the revival
Eddie and when I'm in the mood
I address the elephant in the room
The political rot and the power them dey abuse
The youth dey move dey hope say
I never dawg dey push the views, the complains
E be my voice the goons dey use demonstrate
But as I go join party wey them gimme post
Nana everything changed!
Policies chained!
Me I get the keys, I dey pull up in a Range!
Eddie meyɛ wiemfoɔ ba a manya preference
Baddies, Fendi, tell a couple lies for the Bentley
Said it, Imma do it for the fam, done did it
Wia wo sika si abrosan, come get it
Really no be all about the money
But the power we dey gain, we never go be the same
Na wo pre woho bɔ me tuo nso a meyɛ (Martin Luther)

Like Martin Luther
Had big dreams stuck in my medulla
Na I figure say me I go be Kwame Nkrumah
Now I'm thirsty for blood like a Barracuda
Na I dey believe in Ghana
Yeah, I'm a fool
So me I no even regret all the harm I do
I tried my best but Ghanaians go come at you
And bury you under the weight
But I suffer too!

The position be complex
Kama Sutra
Nobe easy mese dabiaa me da a me su
Sɛ Nyame hu me mmɔbɔ
I'm far from good
But this place is full of witches like Aretuza
To the citizens, me I be the scary dude
I'm Larry Hoover
Chale, me I can't refute the allegations
Power got me salivating
So I can't be neutral
With a suit on, I'm barely human
Man, I feel like I'm a god!
'Cause I got them stuck in stupidity
What the fuck is humility?
All the ahobraseɛ be facade!
I no go sacrifice, ebe so corny
If I sprinkle some money them still go vote for me
Though I give 'em money, I'm leaving 'em no money
Condition be so funny
I'm old, but I no go leave the position give nobody!
You damn right!
The gatekeeping we dey do for here ebe airtight
Work hard, ego pay off
Yeah right
But that be life
'Cause the struggle never be fair fight from the beginning
It's no discovery
Chale the inequality sickens
I know it's not a befitting look of us
But no, I'm far from repenting
Like how y'all go to church and later gonna be sinning
'cause God is forgiving
Same thing!
So make you no bother me if you dey see a bad road
So what if we properly did it?
Huh?
What, are you kidding?!
I see the property hidden from all the poverty-stricken
Wey I dey want some!
Honestly, even if I go go Hell, I'm already in it!
If them born you for this country, you're already finished
'Cause it sucks and I don't wanna be bitter
Sekof knowledge nobe power chale
Ebe power wey be power
And that's why I'm groveling at it

If it's too hard, you can quit
Better yet, lemme bid for your soul
For your soul, for your soul
If it's too hard, you can quit
Better yet, lemme bid for your soul
For your soul, for your soul
Power
I can give you that power
Lemme give you that power
Lemme give you that
Lemme give you that
Power?
