{Verse 1}

Yeahhh

Kwaku killa don’t lie when i say i did it,

Big stacks big cash my way

but still i fumbled it

Under one minute

Still i can’t believe

 

But i can’t blame myself for this shit

I knew mandem was born for this shit,

of course i f*cked up

Who never f*ck up hands in the air, no hands?

Still i can’t believe, you know what i mean

I was young what you expect from me?

 

It is what it is, but i keep going o

More like a rolling stone

Cause i have no stopping time

Can’t nobody stop a man

Oh i keep going on

 

More like a rolling stone

Cause i have no stopping time

Can’t nobody stop a man (youhh)

I go dey run my race

I’m gonna keep my pace

 

Cause? i really have no one to blam?

when i fall again

I can’t stand this pain

I can’t watch me fail

So anytime you pray

Remember my name

 

{Chorus}

Remember you know a traveler

The name is Kwaku the hustler

He’s been far away chasing guallala

I’ll be back again bro, meka menan

I swear on my life

I can’t wait to be back

I know you miss me i know… x2

 

{Verse 2}

They say, when it’s on then it’s on

You can’t stop till it’s done (then it’s ooooooon)

Sika dam na meebor

Abrantie aa masi so, cigarette si mano

 

Ntampe nkoa na meetwe

Cigarette si mano

Cigarette si mano, when it’s on then it’s on

I can’t stop till it’s done (then it’s ooooooon)

Sika dam na meebor

 

Abrantie aa masi so

Cigarette si mano

Ntampe nkoa na meetwe

Cigarette si mano

Cigarette si mano

 

{Bridge}

Nti daaaaa

You’ll see me on the roadside

Talking to the most high… high, high, high

 

{Chorus}

Remember you know a traveler

The name is Kwaku the hustler

He’s been far away chasing guallala

 

I’ll be back again bro, meka menan (i’ll be back again,

i swear on everything)

I swear on my life

I can’t wait to be back

I know you miss me i know

Remember you know a traveler

 

The name is Kwaku the hustler

He’s been far away chasing guallala

I’ll be back again bro, meka menan

I swear on my life

I can’t wait to be back
