Alot of BS buh i be keeping alot of it
But sesia menyin,nne3ma no dooso i gat to swallow it
M'achoose ways that i deal with it
Silence dey kill critics

In the opening lines of Sarkodie's "Angels and Demons," the Ghanaian rapper confesses that he takes flak for being honest about his experiences in life. He reveals that while he constantly faces criticisms, he often suppresses his opinions and feelings to keep the peace. He knows that sometimes he has to deal with negative emotions and swallow his pride to avoid confrontation. However, he explains that he handles his critics with silence because more often than not, they end up killing themselves, unable to tolerate the quiet rebuke. He acknowledges that this song is not just a regular one – it's a response to people trying to limit his capacity for greatness. He makes it clear that he is always ready to ride against negativity, and he is not letting anything dim his shine.
The song then shifts to Sarkodie addressing some issues he's faced in his career. He points out that he's not interested in followers or overshadowing anyone, and he needs people to focus on the right things. He admits that he's a human too, and sometimes he needs to take time for himself to deal with all of the negativity. He shares that he relies on the promises of God to keep him moving, even though some gatekeepers are always trying to bring him down. He reflects on the issues surrounding fake sneakers, which leads to the ultimate message that Sarkodie wants people to remember him for his uniqueness and his ability to rise above challenges. He ends by encouraging his fans to be supportive and loving to one another.
