Sarkcess Story
Sarkodie Lyrics

Abamubuo nsem aa meti yɛ
I have heard many stories, but I am not fazed by them

Nyonyonyono sɛ ankaatwadeɛ
Whispers like the wind, blowing away insignificant things

Nanso mede asikyire kakrabi fra
But I have patiently persevered and climbed to success like a crab

Ma no yɛɛ dɛdɛɛdɛ
Now they are in awe of me

Ɛbi mpo deɛ mede yɛɛ nkuto srayɛ
Although I had hardships and obstacles to face on my journey

I've been through trials and tribulation
I have faced difficult times and challenges

But I never broke my determination
But my perseverance never wavered

Now it's a sarkcess story
Now, my story is one of triumph and success

The legendary
I am a legend now

History in the making
My success has become a part of history

Yeah
Yes

Nyankopon me de nnaase ma wo
God, help me now

Cus when I think about where I came from
Because when I reflect on my humble beginnings

No shoes no shirts no cash and no income
Without shoes, without shirts, without money, and without income

Nnamfofoɔ a me ne ɔmo hyɛase koraa
Even people I grew up with doubted me

They gave it up and I loss some
They gave up on me, and I lost some friends

Poor home
My home was not wealthy

I took ma destiny I had to pay my own ransom
I took control of my future and had to pay my dues

I gave it all for this music
I put my heart and soul into my music

Metee nisuo
I shed tears

I went through the pain buh I used it
I went through the pain, but I used it to grow

Ɛnyɛ kɔm ketewa
It's not just a simple task

Na sɛ me wrɔ me ho a me sen broomstick
Even If I had to work with a broomstick

Huh
Hmm

Ɔmo kaa masem sɛ me ho nni mfasoɔ
People spread rumors that I'm dumb

Buh I refused it
But I didn't accept it

Lemme give you some few tips
Let me give you some advice

Just pray pray pray pray
Pray with all your heart

Believe
Have faith

See gone were the days
Those times are gone

Don't be deceive
Don't be fooled

They only smile with you
They only pretend to be happy for you

Just because they can't fight you
Only because they can't beat you

I swear to God they don't like you
I swear they don't really like you

Ma chill flow no sen ice cube
My chill flow is as cool as ice

And they try mess with your IQ
And they try to mess with your intelligence

Oh God
Oh God

I nearly saw my dream pass by
I almost missed my chance to achieve my dream

Ɛnka matamfo koraa bɛma me high five
Even haters now want to give me a high five

Buh I swear that I'm so blessed
But I am truly blessed

Me kill rap no a no stress
I rap without stress

Ɛkaa ɔno nkoa anka m'awu
I won't be afraid of anyone

Ok let's see who goes first Huh
Let's see who performs first

It's a sarkcess story legendary
My story of success is legendary

Let's go again, tie
Let's do it again, it's a tie

Nyankopon mede nnaase ma wo
God, help me now

Ɔmo hyɛase tan me from six form
Doubters tried to stop me even in my sixth year of school

Tumi sere me saa me sen sitcom
But I kept on trying, just like a sitcom character

I lost some and then I won some
I experienced losses and victories

I wanna thank God you just awesome
I want to thank God, you are awesome

Onim nea me hia
You know what I mean

Deɛ ɔde mabrabɔ no fa mu nyinaa no
When you show up with prosperity, everyone wants to be your friend
