Sarkodie Lyrics

I think you guys don't understand one thing you know
I believe that you all fail to comprehend something important

Am just trying to be myself i just want to stay original
I am simply striving to be true to myself and maintain my authenticity

I spit in my own language
I rap using my native language

People think am limited
Some individuals perceive me as being restricted or confined

I dont believe that
However, I do not share that belief

Am heading straight to the grammys
I am destined for success and will reach the Grammy Awards

Take it or leave it
Accept it as it is or disregard it entirely

Its Obidi
This is Sarkodie, my stage name

Leggo
Let's go, let the journey commence

Huh
Expressing surprise or contemplation

Fdane beat is crazy
The instrumental produced by Fdane is outstanding

Wow yeah
An exclamation of excitement or amazement

Huh yo tie ah hw3
Expressing surprise or disbelief in the form of a question

Obidi number one am the best MC
I, Sarkodie, am the top and most skilled MC

From the ghetto, c9 cemetery don't test me
Coming from a disadvantaged background, I am not to be underestimated

No size, punchlines, wo voice eny3a next key
I possess an unmatched delivery and lyrical prowess that surpasses anyone else

Let's rejoice and raise our glasses, as I had previously warned my competitors to step aside

If you call me and the number is inactive, it's because I've switched to a new SIM card

For the love, for the hate
Both for the love and the hate that I receive

Everything is bright or dim
The outcome can be positive or negative

Forgive me for my mistakes
Please pardon me for any errors I have made

I guess its me or them
It seems like a choice between me and my adversaries

Ma me mike, by the way
By the way, my microphone

All i do i do it for the love, success leaves you lonely
I do everything for the love of it, but achieving success can make you feel isolated
