Sankofa Lyrics by Akwasi

Sankofa

2020

Verse:
Mo ninia mo ninia (everybody, everybody)
Mi se bra ne sankofa (i said come, go back and get it)
Wo se bra sankofa (you said come, go back and get it)
Mi ye abrotjie bema (I’m a young male foreigner)
Min ye kwadom to bema (i’m not a waste of space)
Man like kwame nkrumah (I’ve learnt from Kwame Nkrumah)
Woman like yaa asantewaa (I’ve learnt from Yaa Asantewaa)
Wo babe nom real palm wine (you’re about to experience palm wine) wo babe di jollof rice (you’re about to experience jollof rice)
Mamin ma wo akwaabaa (let me give you a warm welcome)
Verse:
Mo ninia, mo ninia (everybody, everybody)
Dat is jullie allemaal.. ik ging naar mijn eigen land
Want iemand zei: “ga naar je eigen land!"
Business class naar eigen land, maar voel me soms gast in eigen land, van Ghana naar Nederland, ik kom uit Ghana en Nederland!
En ik ben in touch met mn roots; noem me geen bokoe
Weet je dan niet we zijn fam? en de love is beacuoup!
Wees trots op wie je bent, ik hoor je niet, gebruik je stem
En ik wil weten wat je drijft...
Verse:
Vraag van iemand’s favoriete ghanees
Ben je weleens in die 54 landen geweest?
Of 1 van ze? welkom op het planeet, dit is Ghana
Want we maken je pan heet. always sunny
What more do you want from me?
Ome pe ska, omo pe pe, money. (ze willen geld, ze willen heel veel flappen) terug naar de roots, van mijn huid en mijn bloed
Werd verwelkomd door de zon
En de maan gaf een gloed
Akwasi of Akwesi, zie me lekker sippen in de zon met appeteshi
Precies. elke dag weer een zonnesessie
Veel talen geen woord voor depressie
Bantama soldier, Yamfo, Mampong zit in mn zolder
Fake mijn afkomst niet, dat is kolder
Verse
Mo ninia, mo ninia (everybody, everybody)
Mi se bra ne sankofa (i said come, go back and get it)
Wo se bra sankofa (you said come, go back and get it)
Mi ye abrotjie bema (I’m a young male foreigner)
Min ye kwadom to bema (i’m not a waste of space)
Man like kwame nkrumah (I’ve learnt from Kwame Nkrumah) woman like yaa asantewaa (I’ve learnt from Yaa Asantewaa)
Wo be fre sista Maame yaa (You are going to call Madame Yaa) Wo be fre papa George, ooo (You are going to call papa George) Wo be free mama Mary (You are going to call mama Mary)
Wo be fre Aunte bee, ooo (You are going to call Aunt Bee)
Wo be free Aunte awura ama (You are going to call Aunt Awura Ama) Kwame Nkrumah, Marcus Garvey, Dubois!
