Lyrics

[Chorus]
Coming from where I'm from (Tara Kodi don gobe)
Coming from where I'm from (Nemi kodi tun abi seika be zo baa)
Coming from where I'm from (Don takaichi anu nami naka a)
Coming from where I’m from
[Verse 1]
Tails of a wild child Suhum was the habitat
Came a long mile sankofa my roots back
Memory lane deja vu ride in the dark
Paddle along I’ll show you is where you at
Not where you’re from still got to give
Knowledge is a journey home remember that
Sika adi sua di nipa kyi copy that
Originality rules word to the copycat
Product of environment what’s your value black
Made in Suhum polished in T-dot price that
My style is illegal too dope joe crack
Started from the bottom only option is up
Withstand the test of time like pyramid of kheops
My broking wings fly above ocean of sharks
Feather in bad wind blown towards lost spark
Heer babia me fri, babia ma fa, babia me adu
Got to think free, got to be smart, got to be cool
Babia me kɔ, nea me pɛ, nea me hia
Be determined take shots lone ranger
Yo ye nni daakye wo titi ankonam
Yɛ wɔ nea yɛ hia, yɛn pre nea etwam
Yɛ nim nea yɛ pɛ, ɛnyɛ sɛ yɛ samu
Ya bre paa chala ɛnyɛ nde na yɛ sim
Yo I write a strugglers memoir
Host exodus seminars
My dairy a scholar’s journal
Been through storms recognized like a landmark
Liberate the mind like a stroll through a back yard
Cuz I’ve been there done that curiosity never killed this cat
Said I’ve been there done that curiosity never killed this cat
[Chorus]
Coming from where I'm from (Tara Kodi don gobe)
Coming from where I'm from (Nemi kodi tun abi seika be zo baa)
Coming from where I'm from (Don takaichi anu nami naka a)
Coming from where I’m from
[Verse 2]
Allah ne mei bayarwa
Obangidi tala kai mei shayarwa
She kae bayarwa, she kae hanawah a
Sometimes life be so hard
Rayuwa shei hankuri
Aringa nai ma tun da wuri
Kaka ji rasayi ka sufa sen na ka nae mi
Rayuwa shei hankuri
Aringa nai ma tun da wuri
Kaka ji rasayi ka sufa sen na ka nae mi
Allah ne mei bayarwa, Koma she ne mei shayarwa
[Chorus]
Coming from where I'm from (Tara Kodi don gobe)
Coming from where I'm from (Nemi kodi tun abi seika be zo baa)
Coming from where I'm from (Don takaichi anu nami naka a)
Coming from where I’m from
