Devil in Me
Sarkodie Lyrics

So many things we tryin'na get rid of, but we can...
There are a lot of things we strive to eliminate from ourselves, but we are not always successful.

We do regardless,
However, we still move forward with our actions.

And i pray that um, God takes away the devil in us.
I hope that God will remove the evil within us.

And that's my prayer, yeah.
This is my ultimate wish.

Obidi pɔn bidi,
I have a feeling deep within me.

I feel something within,
I sense something inside me.

So many things that I've seen
I have witnessed numerous things

Mea menim, sometimes I can be mean.
I am aware that I can be cruel at times.

But I swear sɛ ɛnyɛ me fault, dabiaa I see them in my dreams
However, I genuinely believe that it is not entirely my fault, and I see reminders of it in my dreams.

ɛnyɛ honam ani, I swear there is a devil in me.
I am convinced that there is an evil force within me.

I pray to God, my father in Heaven
I communicate my wishes to God, my heavenly father.

Wote me nne a, please reply this question
Please answer my prayer.

I'm fighting my soul, I'm not the same person.
I am wrestling with my inner self, and I feel like I am not the same anymore.

2012 is over, I hope I learnt my lessons
The year 2012 has ended, and I hope I have learned some valuable lessons.

Me de me kra no ma wo sɛ takee over.
I offer my everything to you, to take control.

If I'm far away just draw me closer.
If I am distant, please bring me closer to you.

Mentumi ngyae nsa nom, Nyakonpɔn make me sober.
I cannot control myself, please make me sober, Lord.

Sunsum pɛ, honam ayɛ mmerɛ, boa me aww Jehovah.
My soul is not at peace, and I have handled issues poorly. Please come to my aid, Jehovah.

I hate what I do, but biribi pushi me
I despise my actions, but something compels and drives me.

Ma me ahoɔden na bonsam use me
Do not allow the devil to use me for his purposes.

Wakye me ahyɛ afiase nti Nyame set me free.
Wake me up from my slumber, so that I can be delivered by God.

Ma me nka no biom, there's a devil in me.
Help me because there is an evil force inside me.

Oh, letting it go
I am releasing it.

Letting it be
I am allowing it to exist.

Setting all down
I am relinquishing everything.

Setting it free eeh
I am freeing myself.

Something inside me
There is something within me.

It's keeping me away from you, its the devil inside me,
The evil force inside me is hindering me from being near you.

And I'm letting it go oo
I am releasing it.

Yes, I was with some friends at the casino.

Moa mo kyerɛ me sɛ nea yɛte tot
My friends advised me as if they knew what was best for me.

Na me a menpɛ Me ho asɛm mete nfikyire a metwe jott,
However, I neglected their advice and made a reckless decision.

I dedicate my heart, my body, my soul,
I offer all of myself.

Adea ɛbɛsi menhyira kwan I'm letting go
I am ready to turn a new leaf, and therefore, I am forgiving my past mistakes.

Women keep chasing me, even though I am broke.

I could not pay my school fees, but now I am famous.

I'm sick and tired I wanna change to something else
I am fed up with my current situation, and I want to switch to something new.

Something better, I'm tired of chasing groupie girls
Something more meaningful than pursuing superficial relationships with groupies.

Yɛ pɛ sika aboa asɔre mentuaa me tithe
We prioritize wealth, and I give much of my earnings to church.

Nanso once a week m'antɔ koraa na ɛnyɛ Gucci belt
But, even though I tithe regularly, I cannot afford luxury items like Gucci belts.

Oh, letting it go
I am letting go.

Letting it be
I am allowing it to be.

Setting all down
I am leaving everything behind.

Setting it free eeh
I am freeing myself.

Something inside me
There is something within me.

It's keeping me away from you, its the devil inside me,
The evil force inside me is hindering me from being near you.

And I'm letting it go oo
I am letting it go.
