Yeah
I hate what we've become
I have excuses so let me talk and hold on to your questions
You elected me to lead to make decisions on your behalf
And that's exactly what I'm doing so let me work on my actions
Our plan create jobs a booming economy and a better infrastructure
But let's face it some truths are bitter in flavor
I vowed to drop the dollar rate and let the code ascend
But the common citizens don't see how these systems blend
I'm the chosen leader chose to chart the course and to defend
But here's a truth most citizens have no clue how this system works
So let me break it down for you shall we?
First off instead of hiding every citizen needs to pay their taxes
From market vendors to sports bettors remote workers and influencers
Your taxes fuels the flights the hospitals the police military and the schools
And yes your taxes are funding my next private jet too
How do you expect us to build bridges schools and hospitals?
Pay for my trips to international conferences or even my children's hefty fees abroad?
It's all from the same pot your hard earned your brought
Now as long as we're getting work done
It's okay to skim a little off the top
Trust me the smoke won't let it burn
But hey
It's all in the name of national progress
Before I took office I made the right connections
Took some loans and yes
I promised some government contracts visas and kickbacks in return
So I need to pay it back like sins I carry from my past
Did you know my salary as a leader is too small to fit my wife's gown?
I make deals secure the gold oil and promised to never let you down
Sold some and saved some in Swiss banks for the days I'm not the crown
This isn't new folks
My predecessor My rival
He pocketed far more than I ever could
That's the harsh truth
Left us lot of debt I'm just playing the books they left
So when I do it remember it's not stealing
I'm your leader after all
You'd probably do the same in my shoes
It's one size fit all
Now let's talk about jobs
Jobs might be lagging
And for the jobs I created you don't even show up on time
You take longer breaks and take longer vacations
Plus you always complaining from where I sit
I think you are lazy cuz my angles in perfect view
It's simple math really just open your mind to something new
So fix yourself first and I will fix the country too
This is my election year
My term was not enough time to patch up the roads
Or start building something tangible
Again if you vote for me
I promise to finish what I've visioned this won't be debatable
Take this 20 cedis
Remember my face I'm number two on the ballot
Press your thumb on my face this winning feeling sweet
And when I'm re-elected
I'll fulfill every promise no deceit
Praise be the Lord for the time for the chance to renew
Thank you for your trust your thumb
And what we are about to pursue
And thank you for voting for me again as your leader
Wish me the best I'm guiding us through
And don't be confused again
When I treat you as a fool
(I do because
This is an opportunity for the African
To demonstrate to the world)
(I am just ordinary hungry screaming Ghanaian
Who wants to realize his creative potential
Who wants to contribute)
I hate what we've become you have no excuses left sir
Just my heart is Dennis for my troubles
Every time I voted for you hoping for something new
But you showed me nothing in the same directions
You promised jobs and booming economy
Yet even kenkey has risen from one to five cedis
Back when the cedis could stretch
I feast on two kenkey's fishes and two eggs all for ten cedis
Now life's tough eating once a day
Timing meals to fend off the hunger at night
Hunger become companion
And on days when pockets are empty
I chill the gari soakings no milk to make it right
Just to suppress the hunger feeling
You spoke of ending dumsor but the blackouts haven't stopped
Leaving us in the dark at night
My cousin's stew spoiled last night
ECG promises never electrifies still missing the spark in every light
Our water system issues even with barrels
I tap my neighbor for a week
Promised improvements if I voted for you
The promises fragile now seem so weak
Am I a fool for believing?
You handed me twenty cedis I thought there'd be more
Disappointed show its face
I'm a voice to be heard
I won't be giving you my vote for sure
I'm ready to protest stand against the evils you keep bringing on
Though deep down I fear from my efforts
Nothing significant will be drawn
You think I'm a coward citizen
But I'm trying not for you to trigger my peace
Life is hard here
I dream of getting visa escape this country
And not to return or to be seen
We blessed with natural resources but y'all flip it for y'all own gain
What's the difference between you and a greedy man's frame?
I see you all the same
You are not in them streets so you don't be feeling the pain
After Uni no jobs we're left to bet our futures or dive into deeper scams
You tax our small hopes
You don't even create jobs
But your arms are extended locking us when it jams
I heard you say we're lazy maybe it's because of you
Before we even begin to take our first step you tell us we are not right
Because in your mind you think a white man is better than you
You taught us values but don't teach us worth
And you pass this trauma through our DNA if we test
Also maybe if you pay us hourly
We probably show up to work on time
Skip breaks and long vacation
Cuz you know how we love to flex when we earning more
Can't you see when we travel we bring a lot home
Because of the grind but you keep taking all
If things don't turn around
We might resort to desperate means risking it all
My girl left to hook up chased by the chaos you caused
Following the money's call
And on top of that chairman use our taxes to pull up on girls
At this point I recognized angels and devils party together
You as leaders snatch our hopes and still expect us to be cool
Next election I'll take your twenty plus his fifty
But no more playing the fool
Whether I vote or not the outcome's the same don't forget
If this country spills over it's on all of us but not you
Your games we see through
The system rigged but I won't let it silence me not yet
No matter who we vote for the problems remain
It's the same old wahala nothing new
So this time around I won't vote for another you
I got love for Ghana
(Forward then
To independence now
Tomorrow the United States of Africa)
