Ebony – Maame Hw3 Lyrics
INTRO
I hate you so much Right Now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much Right Now
I hate you so much right now
One day you will know
These are the words of my mother
As I’m getting Old, ebi now wey I remember
So I’m parking all my tools, I’m going back a home
A young girl like me
shouldn’t be caught with an old school fool
He told me he was a banker, not knowing bank robber
This man is a Gangster, Bukom Banku Boxer
Osori anopaaa, bolabo bodambo Oo. 3duru awiah ahh
Soccer ne ganja nkoaa Oo
If he wakes up in the morning he acts like a mad man
In the afternoon he watches soccer n smokes weed
Now he dey beat me, every Night and Day
Maame Hwe(Mama Look)
You use to warn me, but I didn’t wanna know
Maame Hwe
Maame Hwe Oo, Maame Hwe
Maame Hwe Oo, Maame Hwe
Maame Hwe Oo, Hwe nia Akwaa nu de y3 me
Mama Look at what the man is doing to me
Na pikin no dey hear Mama
Pikin no dey hear papa
3nd3 nkwalaa ya ba, Social Media y3da
Young women of today are always on social media
b3ye na yabo obra pa
B3ye na y3ya Odo pa
How can we live a good life
How can we Love
Nanso akwalaa no di3 – Wohu koto ani aa wo se abaa Oo
(Akan Proverb) You are a kid – when u see a crab’s eye you think it’s a rod
He told me he was a banker, not knowing bank robber
This man is a Gangster, Bukom Banku Boxer
Osori anopaaa, bolabo bodambo Oo. 3duru awiah ahh
Shocker ne ganja nkoaa Oo
Now he dey beat me, every Night and Day
Maame Hwe
You use to warn me, but I didn’t wanna know
Maame Hwe
Maame Hwe Oo, Maame Hwe
Maame Hwe Oo, Maame Hwe
Maame Hwe Oo, Hwe nia Akwaa no de y3 me
I hate you so much Right Now
I hate you so much right now
I hate you so much Right Now
I hate you so much right now
One day you will know
These are the words of my mother
As I’m getting old, ebi now wey I remember
So I’m parking all my tools, I’m going back a home
A young girl like me
shouldn’t be caught with an old school fool
He told me he was a banker, not knowing bank robber
This man is a Gangster, Bukom Banku Boxer
Osori anopaaa, bolabo bodambo Oo. 3duru awiah ahh
Soccer ne ganja nkoaa Oo
Now he dey beat me, every Night and Day
Maame Hwe
You use to warn me, but I didn’t wanna know

This song talks about men who are violence towards women.
Maame Hw3 in twi means MAMA LOOK
Basically, a young girl who was fascinated about a guy she met who lied to her he is a banker but rather an armed robber who smokes ganja from morning to evening. Without doing her checks about the man she got married to him ignoring the advices of her mum.
She has regretted not listening to her mum’s advice, she want to return to her parents’ house because the man she thought she knew beat her nights and day, sexually abuse her sometimes.
Lala Shishi – explain the song, in Ga.
Every week, we will shed some light on the meaning of current hits in and out of Ghana: many bangers have an underlying message or social commentary, carried out using sophisticated and ever evolving wordplay – an aspect that is vastly lost in translation. The music videos don’t always unlock the true meaning or intricacies of hit songs, and lyrics alone are not always enough to understand the numerous double entendre and wordplays, so… here we go!
