Hmm Wo ye ajoma w) ECG

Ghana mbaa nso b3 da ne slay queens
Instagram na mu de yi amanfuo
Ye b3 hyia mo nso na mo hy3 fake jeans
Ankonyia na mo ko hu opambuo

{ Sarkodie takes on ECG(Electricity Company of Ghana the main distributors of electricity in ghana) he talks about their workers who engage in illegal connection , he also mentions police men who work with armed robbers to rob innocent people( in recent times some policemen have been exposed in working with armed robbers ), he also talks about hypocritical pastors who go to Atwea Mountains ( popular place for prayer ) and come back to engage in sinful acts , he also talks about the surge in ” Slay Queens” a term used to describe women who do not have a wealthy background but appear as if they do. He says they usually post nice pictures on instagram but when you meet them they’re nothing like how they look on the internet. He also advices that if you’d make it in this life you have to follow 3 things. Be truthful , hard work and the fear of God. }

{Chorus}

Na wa sua nuama pii, Ye b3 pa wo y3n pa wo sen

Na se daakye bi nyame ma owo mba a
Na s3 wo fr3 wo ba kitua no na s3 wanba a
Wa wari na se wo pe mba a. Aban b3 pa wo
Posegee on the mix

Here he talks about corrupt government officials , church people who steal church money , thieves, cocoa farmers who cheat (adjust their scales below the minimum requirement) , witches in the extended family who torment their family with the aim of destroying their lives and a pastor who preaches lies, they are all warned because they will be exposed * Ye Be Pa Wo *

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!
