Come With Me
Nneka Lyrics
Come let us be truthful, surrender our pride
Admit the stains on our, our chest, our hands
We seek, we find we take, we kill
Our love is hate, our smiles are fake
Take my body, take my hands
Take everything you have created
Take your riches, take your money, take everything
But not my experience
No no
No you can't take my soul away
No you can't make me go astray
Because I know where I stand
No you cannot take my experience away
No you can't take my soul away
No you can't make me go astray
Because I know where my father is
Come let us be truthful, surrender our pride
Admit the things we have been doing
Oh it seems as if we deal with others
To gain self profit
Oh why why why why why why
Oh no
No you cannot take my experience away
No you can't take my soul away
No you can't make me go astray
Because I know where I stand
No you cannot take my experience away
No you can't take my soul away
No you can't make me go astray
Because I know where my father is
Come let us admit that we are living a lie
Come let us speak out that we have been sinning
We have been sinning
Oh no come let us take a look at the mirror
See how sad it looks
Come let us take a break, go into ourselves and
Find the peace and silence saying
No they cannot take your experience away
No they can't take your soul away
No they can't make you go astray
Because you know where you stand today
No they cannot take your experience away
No they can't take your soul away
No they can't make you go astray
Because you know where your father is
I know, you know, I know where my father is
Don't you know? Yes I do

After relocating to Hamburg in 2003, Nneka has been working closely with the hip hop beatmaker DJ Farhot. As a young singer she first gained public attention in 2004 while performing as an opening act for dancehall reggae star Sean Paul at Hamburg Stadtpark. After much acclaim, Nneka released her debut EP The Uncomfortable Truth with the music label Yo Mama's Recording Company after which she performed on her first tour with Patrice, playing shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
She finished recording her first album in the autumn of 2005. Entitled Victim of Truth. Garnering rave reviews from the media, the UK's Sunday Times later declared it “the year’s most criminally overlooked album”, comparing it favourably to 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'.
In February 2008, she released her second album, No Longer at Ease. The title of the album is taken from a novel of the same name by Chinua Achebe and reflects the lyrical content of the record. Most of the songs are political, talking about the plight of the Niger Delta and the corruption in Nneka’s homeland. “No Longer at Ease” combines the political and the personal in “a winning mix of soul, hip-hop an reggae”. The lead single from it, "Heartbeat", became her first song to break into the German Top 50.
In November 2009, Nneka staged her first concert tour of the United States where she performed shows in New York City, Vienna (Washington DC), Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
