Sarkodie‘s “Kanta” Lyrics

INTRO
Yea!, kanta, kanta, kanta, kanta, kanta,
Yea!, kanta, kanta, kanta, kanta, kanta, yea!

VERSE 1
Uhh! sika dɔɔso wɔ Ghana
Still a yɛ hustle wɔ Ashaiman
Street foɔ ɛto Hosanna
Cos sakawa boys agye block no ɛdan ma
Ma ship-e me pɛ a na mɛ ragga for summer
Cos aban sika die no koraa cause drama
Obi nkɔ kɔ bisa Braimah Kamoko sɛ
Nku no a ɔ use no Prima
Politics, evil (yea)
ni*gga no laugh on the people
Obi nse Ɔmanpanin sɛ me hia no
Sarkodie just wanna meet you
Sesei a deɛ cash no a lock-e
Na companies akɛseɛ koraa mpo ɔmo a-chock-e
Na wonhu sɛ Charterhouse koraa ɔmo a-pause-e
Me charge-e me fees a obiaa ntumi n-sort-e
The industry, is falling
Company biaa eyɛ overhauling
Shatta paa first na balling
But sesei a ɔhu bottles koraa na dodging
Me pɛ legitimate, no kuluulu
But after the privilege
To be used to the system in Ghana
Me mia mani sɛ nka memmɔ korɔno
But sɛ mennyɛ a agye sɛ Yesu
Now we just facing recession
My country is lacking progression
Sesei a November election
I hope sɛ the people go teach you a lesson
I got love for Mahama and I’ve got love too for Nana
Yea! me respect-e leaders
Ɛba bi biaa mɛka cos Sark dɔ Ghana

REFRAIN
Yea, kanta, kanta,
Now I think we gotta switch it up
Are you ready?
Yea!

VERSE 2
Tie! me tɔɔ dross wɔ Kanta, salmon, agushi ne hamper
Terry me serɛ wo a bɔ mɔden a na girl na ɔkɔ ɔn-drop-e ne number
See me I’m far from a rapper
Me no me swag yɛ dapper
Obi bɛ diss-e me a na ɛnyɛ rapper ɔde GTP ntoma pam kaba
Me no me rap yɛ authentic
Jay-Z a ya mix-e with Kendrick
Nansa yi sɛ boys nni swag na sɛ ntaade no nnɔɔso a ɔmo claim-e afro-centric
Ntɔtɔfeefee wanna diss
The beat I run and push, onua wo yɛ bitch
Joo na sɛ beef na wopɛ a, get your numbers up nyɛ sa a mɛ serve-e wo fish
Smart move, ɔbɛ diss-e Obidi de a-promote-i album
Mea no me feel-i wo flow no nso ka nowerɛ wo nnwom nni kurom tesɛ Atom
Sark no go beef you for nothing
ni*gga already you suffering
Me n-waste-i me flow in a new beat ɛn-diss-e and pay for production
Niggas dey diss me for promo
Maso ayɛ hye wɔ Toronto
See, I’ll help you for free but ɛfiri nnɛ korɔ no we [will] be working pro bono
I gave you the highest retweets
Gave you some bath on the street
I know you dey aim for my spot but you think my position be cheap
Only time you sound good is when you rap on your own
Ma feature wo twice, all you dey claim say you not in your zone
Mo ankasa mo ayɛ lucky, ma sieve me flow cos I’m grown
No be say ni*gga no dey rap, you no dey qualify for the throne
Me mete so, matwa me seven
Obidi mebɔ wo din a kyerɛ sɛ wobɛ kɔ Heaven
Feeling na mede rap-e no na ma boy gye me di
Nti na obiaa pɛ sɛ otu amirika tesɛ me
Yea, TM boys Omar Sterling
Yea, we go drop the crown so God willing
2040 na mentae nha adwene
Nti mɛyi mahenkyɛ na me da so afa adwene
Hey, ɛnyɛ aduro o, e be favour
My success go turn you into hater
I got the keys, keys, keys, keys
Focus and stack in your paper
At least I gave you some mileage
Just make sure you use it
Please don’t you be disrespectful
Your fans go dey always push you to prove it
Ma big-e wo up for the summer
All I need back is a thank you!
Of course I go pass on the torch
ni*gga but definitely ain’t you
Ei! akoa wei ne brɔfo akɛseɛ
Fa kɔ kɔ lecture wɔ Legon
Oh! punch deɛ ɔ-punch-e
Ɛno ɛntɔ asaase gye kiosk wɔ Klagon
Yɛ a mo se Sark mpɛ beef
Yea, cos it doesn’t make sense
How can I rap to the world
Whiles you, you dey rap to your friends
Apart from sɛ SarkNation rep-e me brand no
ni*gga your fans be my fans
Tie, this is not a diss song
I’m just tryna give you a chance
Sesei a madane philanthropist
Giving you hype for free
I made sure I show you some love
So say you niggas go see
Nyɛ sɛ ebia Sark is scared
You just don’t match up with me
Like Ken Agyapong ne Afia Schwarzenegger
The beef no dey be

REFRAIN
Dis one sef e no be say man dey talk anything
Just, you know sometimes you guys feel like
Sarkodie from way back is not like how I used to be
But ni*gga I’m still the same old same
That guy, that TM boy

VERSE 3
Ya na boys bi se ɔmo yɛ best
Metie mo flow no, not really the impressed
Sark n-rap-e, Sark n-rap-e
Nso moho kyere mo a na mo pɛ verse
Sarkodie I’m a blessing and a curse
They think I’m possessed
Ya montwɛn na meho ntwamu first
Cos me daso drop-e flow deɛ a forget
Mo a ya na rap kɔm de mo no
Obidi yɛ mo chef
Ɛya mommra menkyɛn menyɛ mo test
Ɛya mo mbisa, who is next?
Me gyae mo hɔ kakra sɛ meyɛ Mary
Afei ɛhɔ a na boys a-look-i sharp
Me switch-e yɛ na scene no mu ayɛ blurry
Obiaa nkɔ pɛ baabi nna cos now the King is back
Hwan na ɛmaa mo kwan sɛ mommɛ wura mu
Hwan na ɛmaa mo dan sɛ mommɛ tena mu
Sarkodie sɛ kasahare twa mu koraa anibrɛ nti me gyina mu
Mo throat mu ayɛ fin a mo npepamu cos me daso kitamu
Me start-e rap-e yɛ na madi twelve
At the age of 21 na menni plug
22, 23 na me push-e truck
26 ɔmo se me deal-i drugs
Mehn I know some rappers wanna diss
They beat about the bush, mo yɛ bitch
Mo ayɛ lucky sɛ obiaa nni Ghana ha mesuro no
Nti me list a matwerɛ no Africa foɔ six
Ɛno koraa mpo no ɛyɛ mixed
Khuli, Chana, Ice, M.I., ni*gga eerrmm
Nice, ɛna Cassper
Me kye no a mɛ kyerɛ no sɛ me yɛ Jedi
Asɛ wo true religion ba bɛtoto Levite
Swag na wonni oo nnyɛ sɛ ebia you no wan shadda
Dope rapper bɛn na ɛde Woodin pam kaba?
Afro-centric, masa wo swa
Nti yɛ a bɔ me din na try na ɛnyɛ kasa
Yea, killer on da mic
Nyɛ sɛ wo te rap, you are riding on a hype
Stunt on you niggas like am flipping on a bike
Me hia girl, I need peace, I wanna hide
That one sef be punchline, I no sure say e…
