Dem No Get Faith O Dem No Get Faith O So Dem Go Dey Doubt Me
But Soon Them Go Dey Shout Me, Soon Dem Go Dey Shout me
Rap 1
Me I liken myself to the greats
Loosers cannot be my mates
So if greatness doesnt fall in your faith
Then at all at all me and yall cant
relate
Dont you understand that I got a dream
And I don't care as crazy as it seems
Im about to shine with the brightest beam
Cus my bloodline Fela running in my stream
Cross rivers seas and borders and borders
Cus my Music reaching others
We from Africa but they reaching for us
Reality I preach my stories
The Truth wont be told unless we
tell it
If we leave it to them they will wrongly spell it
The Greatest Artist ever F E L A thats how u spell it
Chorus

Music is the Weapon of the future
Rap 2
If you dont know who Fela is I dont blame you
Thats why I wrote this song to
explain who
The Man was, what he stood, for and all the pain he went through even tho He was an Angel
A Savior to the world from Mama
Nigerian but had love for Ghana
And the continent but the vip's dem all crazy Fela go talk get drama
I make sure his Legacy lives on
As long as Man still dey sing song
Omo I dey write chale I dey sing song
If Femi Kuti hear this ego sing some
Chorus

Everybody knows Africa has to be United now to have any headway but how its going to happen is the Great Question

Prophet: Wooh Asem yeah
Asem: We meet again bro
Prophet: Again and again
Asem: Wonua ma )mo nna nt3m
Prophet:Mo b3 da nt3m nt3m nt3m
Chorus ( Black Prophet)
Buyaka come kill all dem song
Dis a one a wipe all a unu dirty frown
Righteousness come fi take over nu town
Yooooo burn den without apology
Verse 1 ( Asem)
I save my verses and kill em they know me
Original don dada man a never phony
Lifes good big tv screen a sony
Blow doe? Cant make it rain cus its snowy
Cold with the flow when i spit its like moscow on the beat
I Russia with punchlines and put you to sleep
Wob3da nt3m s3 me kaa y3
Manum ns3m nya nsaay3
They wanna fit in my shoes but my feet too steep
And my brain too shallow to
follow my line of thoughts
No more kpayor,Pigaro yes those are my lines off course
Killing everybody in the game is my line of course
Outshine your floss huh
Line up my force huh
Energy i deliver in my daily remedy of poetry can be compared to insanity
The floe try oh see thats absurd yo its vanity
Rap so good when heard atheist turn to christianity
The devil is a liar and he lies through Delilah
But my head strong pass Sampsom so she go tire
I'll be strong when she's gone she can't cool mi fire
My ambition way bigger than your desire
Chorus ( Black Prophet)
Buyaka come kill all dem song
Dis a one a wipe all a unu dirty frown
Righteousness come fi take over nu town
Yooooo burn den without apology
Verse 2 ( Asem)
Been on the low for a bit
Trying to grow my shit
So when it drops people won't be like 'oh that's it'?
They're like damn that's good
The man improved
Make other rappers envy and wish they stand where I stood
But my situation is different God is hands-on on me
Continentally I'll be relevant and your fans fall for me
Summer-winterly we will be traveling cos the jet's fueled for me
Big dreams we unravelling every go-getter's story
But some days will come when you will lose a few
Like when little Ray Charles losed his view
He never gave up like losers do
He had aim like good shooters do
The objective of life is lived by faith
My past digressions are not my face
They are pasty impressions of that dark place
I was when I lived in those dark days
The future is always brighter when you have something to look back onto
The low moments will come and go let the highs get stuck on you
Chorus

Hold you tonight
Intro ( Asem )
This song goes out to the ladies who've got their independence
Worked hard all her life she
don't need no mans attendance
Had a few bad relationships in the past approach love with such vengeance
So the life she lives is empty like a perfume with no fragrance
Verse ( Afriyie )
The cars, the crib the nice things can't hold you
If ebey cold in the night baby tell me what u gon do
Everybody needs somebody something got to give
You think you need nobody that's not how to live
Chorus( Repeats Twice )
Who's gonna hold you tonight
Who go dey hold you tonight
Who's gonna hold you tonight
Verse ( Asem )
Yo girlfriend I see you, miss independent you are
You don't depend on a man you depend on you and that makes you a star
The picture looks so perfect u go think say she's got it all
But when you look deep down inside you go see say chale she's got a flaw
Look into her heart and you see scars
And tho she drives in a G class
Don't be fooled by the disguise, let me put the story back on reverse
She fell in love with a jerk
Relationship never really worked
Got her pregnant left when she told him abortion, heart broken really hurt
So since then, every other time that she thinks men
She thinks of the jerk she fell in love with and think Love is all about pretense
So in her defense, she works hard
Thinking success could replace love
There's a thin line between love and hate and it never ends well when they face off, Break Ups
I wrote this song because I care for you
You beautiful you deserve a man who's gonna be there for you
So don't give up on love
This is my prayer for you
And I made the chorus simple and clear for
Chorus Repeats
Bridge
You dey keep you guard up
Let somebody in, you need to let somebody in
You no fed up?
Been down too long its time to keep your head up
Baby step up, Don't you give up

Love
Intro
I met a man who told me son don't fall in love cus you will break your heart,
And I told him I guess I don't have to live cus I will die
Verse 1
Its like a magical feeling when u feel inside
Could be tragic if the one u feeling isn't right
If you lived a life and never had it then you lived a lie
Cus it could make you feel like you walking on the Sky
Huh, it brought great men down on their knees
From hercules to Achilles, a lot of wars been fought and lost and won for
Chorus
This thing called Love, this thing called Love
I'm talking bout this thing called Love
This four letter word Love
Make you feel like you can fly to the moon and back, do things like
damn did I really do that
Oh Love, I'm talking bout this thing called love
Make you feel like you swim across the seven oceans, drink the deadliest potions
I'm talking bout Love, this thing called Love
Verse 2
I met a man who told me love is kind
And another man also told me love is Blind
So I asked him homie how do I see the signs
Cus a wise man told me love cannot be defined
Is it divine? Is it God sent ?
If Love ends will the world end
Another school of thought says Love is a force created by scientists and its nonsense
The minute you feel it never wanna be alone
Bebiaa )d) w) no that's where you call your home
Even Einstein de ne tirim dwene ne na dwene nyinaa couldn't explain this beautiful thing called
Chorus Repeats
Bridge
This thing called Love, Love, Love
This things called love, I'm talking bout this thing called Love
This thing called Love
If you in hear and you've ever been in love put your hands in the air
Let me hear you say Yeah
Yeaaaaah ( Response )

Verse
Most people work from nine to five
Sweat blood and tears everyday they strive
Making so much money but they're not living life
They think they're living but they are not alive
Cus they don't live the life they love
And they don't love the life they live
You just got to pray to God above If u get enough you try to give,
Cus after all is said and done
There's always evil under sun
So you just try to keep a good heart and always party and have fun

We party all day, party all night

From Africa to Brazil (Number One)
Intro ( Asem )
I heard them say we are the Brazilians of African football, little do they know that Brazil is Africa and Africa is Brazil
Chorus ( Funtain )
Brazil do you remember when
We were brothers and sisters back then
The game has brought us back again
We be one I say o my friend
Hook ( Asem )
Na we be number one
Na we be number one
Africa number one
Rap ( Asem )
Thank God for inspiration
Its all in the rhythm, its all in the celebration
Its all in the sound and music, its all in the jubilation
Its all in the groove and the vibe, Assembilation, call it Assembilation
The cup is coming to Africa but its going through Brazil first
Africa is Brazil, Brazil is Africa the truth hurts
When I heard Funtain sing I had to write a cool verse
This aint Hip hop but I swear to God it will impress Kool Herc
Chorus
Bridge ( Asem )
Africa marching on
Europe Is marching on
Asia is marching on
America marching on
South America marching on
Australia marching on
New Zealand marching on
