March Past Lyrics

March Past - Safo Newman

...

Gas to the Bonos and Fantes

Me meyɛ Asante

Madamfo nso yɛ Dagati

Baabi a wofiri biaa yɛyɛ fua nti mepa wo kyɛw ara

Sɛ wo hu me a ɛnkankye kankye

Yaa hwɛ nafono like something

Sɛ ɔyɛ Fante

Came to spoil our chances

Yɛntwe no nsan na yɛnfa Ayigbeni baa

Nti weinom nyinaa da so te ase

Far

Since independence is far

We were the first ones to have

But it seems we don't want to shun anything that works against our land

Okay, we know how to dance

But I think this is not enough

Gotta go beyond just the drum

We need to get right all the basics

We dey march passing passing

But we're yet to catch

The night bus

Going to the town of freedom

Yɛte paa paa

Y'ani akyi dɛ nti yɛntumi nsɔre oo

Those who can do it too are always attacked

We dey march passing passing

But we're yet to catch

The night bus

Going to the town of freedom

Yɛte paa paa

Y'ani akyi dɛ nti yɛntumi nsɔre oo

Those who can do it too are always attacked

Jack with the goods arriving

Shoot the prices

Say it's cos of the taxes

So wobɛkɔ mu ɔnya mfasoɔ fa

Sɛ wobu wonua a, na wodwa sɔ

Work with the boobs and nyashes

Cert is rubbish

Don't, you go burn to ashes

Bie mu na menzege mma wo

Sɛ mefeeli fa mu a

Adwuma ayɛ wodea wobɛ rise

Can our politics rescue the economy

When they're coming in only for the belly

Dirty games the parties dey play

Promises they cannot attain

Can our politics rescue the economy

When they're coming in only for the belly

Dirty games the parties dey play

Day and night

Far

Since independence is far

We were the first ones to have

But it seems we don't want to shun anything that works against our land

Okay, we know how to dance

But I think this is not enough

Gotta go beyond just the drum

We need to get right all the basics

We dey march passing passing

But we're yet to catch

The night bus

Going to the town of freedom

Yɛte paa paa

Y'ani akyi dɛ nti yɛntumi nsɔre oo

Those who can do it too are always attacked

We dey march passing passing

But we're yet to catch

The night bus

Going to the town of freedom

Yɛte paaa paa

Y'ani akyi dɛ nti yɛntumi nsɔre oo

Those who can do it too are always attacked
