They say the good die young
So I don’t trust the old
Industry politics ama Makoma ayɛ cold
Berma da wugyina abattoir bɛ clame the goat
Me mɛtumi atum ako aba asaa bɛ stilli the show
I opened a new door and y’all came knocking
Mo bɛ trayi ya anfa no
You started mocking
Ma kwashe singers agye hit kor o koo

The purpose was served
Bold move to experiment
