Said (Coke Studio Africa) Songtext

von Nasty C, Runtown

Up with the weights, I work (work, work)
Down with the pack, I roll (I roll, roll)
Up with the sack and you know that I deserve it
Half and half when we split the purse, yeah
The preacher man said
"Please remember that your savior's on the way"
I still remember when the teacher man said
"I wouldn't make it" but I made it anyway

I remember sey it wasn't easy
Right now everything is amazing
Steady driving dem loco
Them are taking my photo
I remember that they telling me no, no
Right now everything is global
Steady driving dem loco
Them are taking my photo

I put the labour in full effect
I keep the prayers in motion, ain't no pulling back
I was boxed in, all the boxes that I couldn't check
And God came through for me would you look at that
I'm building a legacy outta hobby
I never chased the dream, I designed it
Big crib, you hear the echo in the lobby
Boy I was broke as hell when they found me
Hell is where they found me
I'm past it, I made it, facts
My haters all plastic, fake facts
My family is all happy, I'm grateful, thanks
And all the things I say are all naked, facts

I hope I get to meet up with my mother when I'm gone
Just to talk about my life and all the hurdles that I've won
I ain't saying it was flawless
'Cause at times I got it wrong
I had nobody to talk to so I said it in the song
All I do is go

Up with the weights, I work (work, work)
Down with the pack, I roll (I roll, roll)
Up with the sack and you know that I deserve it
Half and half when we split the purse, yeah
The preacher man said
"Please remember that your savior's on the way"
I still remember when the teacher man said
"I wouldn't make it", but I made it anyway

I remember sey it wasn't easy
Right now everything is amazing
Steady driving dem loco
Them are taking my photo
I remember that they telling me no, no
Right now everything is global
Steady driving dem loco
Them are taking my photo

In the winter, in the summer
Chart topper, money maker, we no bother
Everyday we pray for long life
Give thanks to Jah for more life
In the Winter in the Summer
Showkiller, we are put them in a coma
Everyday we pray for long life
Give thanks to Jah for more life
Yeah, yeah

For Mama put sey fisi no dey

That's why me doing my way
Brother man you do your way
But Mama Put sey fisi no dey
I bin tell you sey time no dey
That's why me doing my way
So brother man do your way

Up with the weights, I work (work, work)
Down with the pack, I roll (I roll, roll)
Up with the sack and you know that I deserve it
Half and half when we split the purse
Yeah the preacher man said
"Please remember that your savior's on the way"
I still remember when the teacher man said
"I wouldn't make it", but I made it anyway

I remember sey it wasn't easy
Right now everyting is amazing
Steady driving 'em loco
