A Ghetto Story Lyrics by KO-JO Cue

The Shining

2014

[Verse 1: KO-JO Cue]
Clark Kent with my glasses, super rapper without them
I dey come from a place people know as the bottom
So when they say money no be problem, I can't relate
Cause we dey wire when the salary's late
Stay real every second man I can't be fake
All my life, den try tell me say I can't be great
Asoɔden aboɔden, I never listen
Even the mafia no fit convince me I can't be made
[Bridge: KO-JO Cue]
Huh! The theme song to the rise of a ghetto kid
Pay attention, just look at what the ghetto did
Just look at what the ghetto did
Just look at what the ghetto did
[Verse 2: KO-JO Cue]
Parents tried to raise us to be tame cats
In an attempt to save us from danger
They led us right to fear, insecurity
And all the chains wey dey bound we here
Cause my mummy say ohiani ba mpɛ ne ho asɛm
Nti me ba yɛ ne bɔkɔɔ na wie school
Na wo nya adwuma bi yɛ a y'anya kakra akɔpɛ dan atena mu
Rich people be special, you can't be like them, ain't that some shit
One day ago tell my kid that the world is his, and give am some Vim, tell am ne limit ɛne wiem
Nti ɔyɛ na annyɛ yie a, ɛnnyɛ hwee, ɔnstarte na ɔnyɛ ne biom
[Hook: KO-JO Cue]
The theme song to the rise of a ghetto kid
Pay attention, just look at what the ghetto did
Just look at what the ghetto did
Just look at what the ghetto did
The theme song to the rise of a ghetto kid
Pay attention, just look at what the ghetto did
Just look at what the ghetto did
Just look at what the ghetto did
[Verse 3: KO-JO Cue]
Wo pɛ no yie a wo brɛ
No sweat no pay barima nti wo yɛ lazy deɛ a wo srɛ
But ɛnnyɛ no gidi gidi, ɛyɛ aboterɛ
Force and focus on yours, mɛnnhwɛ obi deɛ
Yɛnni teee but ohia nka yɛn vibe nhyɛ
Nwansena anya hwee koraa a no ɔposa ne nsa mu
Yɛreyɛ agye nsa mu
Yɛ y'antumi annyɛ biribi pa bi amma yɛ girls koraa a
Yɛ yɛ ade mpa mu, me pɛ w'asɛm paa, na ohia nti me dɔ
Me ntumi nshow wo, the depth of me love
Kwaku me nim original oh, na ne boɔ
Kwan nkyɛn adeɛ ɛyɛ fɛ but yɛ de sika na ɛtɔ
Anyway, haters chaw so don't faze yourself
And you can be as good as you rate yourself
Fight the depression, raise yourself
Go on, get up, get out there and amaze the world
[Hook 2: KO-JO Cue]
Huh, The theme song to the rise of a ghetto kid
Pay attention, just look at what the ghetto did
Just look at what the ghetto did
Just look at what the ghetto did
The theme song to the rise of a ghetto kid
Pay attention & look at what the ghetto did
Huh, Just look at what the ghetto did
Yeah, cause I'm just a ghetto kid
[Outro: Tyrion Lannister]
Lemme tell you something bastard
Never forget what you are
The rest of the world will not
Wear it like armour
& it can never be used against you
