Ground Up Chale!
Arhhn!. Kwesi Arthur!
[Verse]
Laugh at their demeanor 'cause I know they hate to see me
Rapper of the year, don't be silly
I fi sing when I want, hits no me yɛ no easy
All my wishes come through I no dey kai meeting a genie
Just saw my passion wey I stick to it
Ma'bemu bu yɛ, almost quit, glad I didn't do it
The words hit you more if you've been through it
Wobetumi ah, shun dey talk, bitch n***a do it
They're quick to talk, ɛba no yɛ aa e hard
I almost become security guard, when all my friends went to school
I really felt like a failure 'cause me'nkoa me ka fie and this music wasn't paying saf
But I always believed e go work out
Massa don't you sleep on yourself you for get out
Trust the process, ɛbɛ kyɛ but e go work out
Who thought I'll be a diamond when I was trying through the pressure, I be treasure
I do this for my family not for leisure
You guys really be clowns if you think you go fit measure
N***as start dey copy, I no be mad, my pleasure
All these rappers be my sons, mo m'bra yɛntwa family picture
I be the people's champ chale
That shit no be for sale
My people dey remand, surely we go prevail
On the low in the past, I'm getting out of my shell
Putting my heart in my craft, might put the D in your girl
Man I'm turning into, oh I love the man I'm turning into
All I want to do be blow, somebody serve me missiles
When you create your own path, them go never fit you
The whole of Ghana dey my back, wonpɛ any issues (Huh!)
God be my plug, shun the ahosh 'cause you no be involved
Came from the bottom all my friends were broke
Now I know people who go fit to buy the mall when they're bored (Huh!)
Different flex
Everything you see say I get, I get from my sweat
Real ones know nti they give me respect
We all dey wear Nike but get different checks
When you start dey make money all your jokes become funnier
Mo aa na mo di me ho fɛw no, who's funnier?
Blessings to the ones who supported when we were coming up
Me ba ha for the long run, I get the God stamina
I've done enough, ba ha ɛnkyɛ yɛ but I've done enough
Put my people on chale, everybody shining up
Hope you guys are ready for the tape cause it's coming out
Too much fire, shit is never running out
They can't control me so they want do me dirty
People I idolize want hurt me
Take me for a fool cause the boy be too funny
Fuck your feelings, if e no be elevating don't text me
Yeah, screen record this one
If anybody want fuck up, make call them come
Wɔbɛ ka sɛ ma grow horns, I grew wings too fam
Me'n suro evil cause the heart, I get the purest one
Chale I took the back door into the game
Dropped Grind Day and since, nothing's been the same
I came for the glory, put am on my family name
I be fucking world fire and this flame can't be tamed
My destiny can't be changed
Yeah, they no be built like this
Them dey sell the people dreams, them no be real like this
I know say squad dey with wordplay and those demma tins
But you're delusional if you think them go fit do it like this
Bitch, I go take my respect
I no go do tinn if it don't come with the check
Wei ɛnkɔ mo mu bia who want take the set
It's Ground Up Chale you for check yourself
'Cause I be back in my bag
Nothing them fit tell us
Back to back hits, be like n***as start dey jealous
Born out of wedlock, married to the hustle
Poverty propelled us, nea yɛ afamu no, ɛdorso
Wo'bɔdam if you think your negative comments fit stop me
Ɛnka me coat mpo the people love me
Counted out all my life, proving people wrong be my hobby
I be big dog, you just be puppy
And I know my worth
Ɛshi omo sɛ I know my worth
I knew I'll be the man since the day of my birth
Obiaa ne time bɛ ba, that's how it works
Wo yɛ bayifoɔ if obi nkoso dey make you hurt

Cause if I think about my future e dey make I excite
Too many sacrifices, I be worth the hype

How I turn to fine boy all of a sudden?
She want give it up all of a sudden
She screenshot the chat send ein friends
Me npɛ no biom, 'cause I like my girl solid
Can't waste time on no low budget Rihanna's and Nicki's
Ɔnpɛ wo aa na ɔka sɛ ɔyɛ busy
All my uptee friends get foreign tings them fit link me but them dey bore me 'cause with girls I be picky

We dey make it kitty
E go down a bit I brought it back now they with me
If you no be with me, wo yɛ jon wo yɛ sissy
Say it to my face, ɛnka m'akyi na wo yɛ bitchy

Existing be so easy but Joo, I want to live
