Lyrics
[Chorus]
Grew up with Ghanaian man in the ends
So don't be surprised if I say, "Chale"
Bare Latino friends in the ends
So don't be spun if I say, "Dale"
Nija boys and they say, "How far?"
Arab man say, "Astafurghallah"
Angolan boy ta brilhar como star
My Jamaican dargs dem ah speak Patois
[Chorus]
Grew up with Ghanaian man in the ends
So don't be surprised if I say, "Chale"
Bare Latino friends in the ends
So don't be spun if I say, "Dale"
Nija boys and they say, "How far?"
Arab man say, "Astafurghallah"
Angolan boy ta brilhar como star
My Jamaican dargs dem ah speak Patois
Ete Sen, let me hail up Ghana
My Somalian friends ate Bariis and banana
I was like 10 when I first had shawarma
Hindu man taught man about karma
Could've been lost in time
Could've been tryna make friends online
Man don't about chicken and chips
Auntie's yard, jellof rice
Pounded yam, egg on side
Bariis and hilib, loads of spice
Rice and peas and a plantain nice
The childhood bangs when the cultures thrive
Luanda Angola Kizaca com fonge, e dancamos kizomba
Immigrant child with an African heart
We bring the food and the vibes in abundance
[Chorus]
Grew up with Ghanaian man in the ends
So don't be surprised if I say, "Chale"
Bare Latino friends in the ends
So don't be spun if I say, "Dale"
Nija boys and they say, "How far?"
Arab man say, "Astafurghallah"
Angolan boy ta brilhar como star
My Jamaican dargs dem ah speak Patois
Grew up with Ghanaian man in the ends
So don't be surprised if I say, "Chale"
Bare Latino friends in the ends
So don't be spun if I say, "Dale"
Nija boys and they say, "How far?"
Arab man say, "Astafurghallah"
Angolan boy ta brilhar como star
My Jamaican dargs dem ah speak Patois
[Verse 1]
Olodumare, wahala no bother my life, I'm the life of the party
Bless me with energy, vibes and the power to overcome anything
I went school with girls from Congo, they spoke French but the waist Lingala
They stepped fine and the girls from Nij had style and grace and shape
Like all my days futo weyn
That's back that's nyash
That's let me not move too bait
Five million and forty, naughty shorty
Wine for dem man and the gyaldem
Bruck them back and that's back when shoobs had bangers served
So we mashed, that's life in the LDN
Growing up fast with half of the world as friends
[Chorus]
Grew up with Ghanaian man in the ends
So don't be surprised if I say, "Chale"
Bare Latino friends in the ends
So don't be spun if I say, "Dale"
Nija boys and they say, "How far?"
Arab man say, "Astafurghallah"
Angolan boy ta brilhar como star
My Jamaican dargs dem ah speak Patois
Grew up with Ghanaian man in the ends
So don't be surprised if I say, "Chale"
Bare Latino friends in the ends
So don't be spun if I say, "Dale"
Nija boys and they say, "How far?"
Arab man say, "Astafurghallah"
Angolan boy ta brilhar como star
My Jamaican dargs dem ah speak Patois
