Safo Newman ● March Past

We dey march
Passing passing
But we're yet to catch
The night bus
Going to the town of freedom

Gas to the Bonos and fantes
Me meyɛ Asante⇣ More

Came to spoil our chances

Nti weinom nyinaa da so te ase

Far
Since independence is far
We were the first ones to have
But it seems we don't want to shun
Anything that works against our land
Okay we know how to dance
But I think this is not enough
Gotta go beyond just the drum
We need to get right all the basics

We dey march
Passing passing
But we're yet to catch
The night bus
Going to the town of freedom
Yɛte paa paa
Y'ani akyi dɛ nti yɛntumi nsɔre oo
Those who can do it too are
Always attacked

Jack with the goods arriving
Shoot the prices
Say it's cos of the taxes
So wobɛkɔ mu ɔnya mfasoɔ fa
Sɛ wobu wonua a na wodwa sɔ
Work with the boobs and nyashes
Cert is rubbish
Don't, you go burn to ashes
Bie mu na menzege mma wo
Sɛ mefeeli fa mu a
Adwuma ayɛ wodea wobɛ rise

Can our politics rescue the economy
When they're coming in only for the belly
Dirty games the parties dey play
Promises they cannot attain
Can our politics rescue the economy
When they're coming in only for the belly
Dirty games the parties dey play
Day and night
