about

A Jazz & Afrobeat song by Cassius Cobbson (featuring Jessy Gh).

'Akwaaba' is about Cassius' beloved country Ghana which is situated in West Africa; rising higher from our current situations and achieving greatness and success regardless of the predicament. Education, wealth, culture and history is a very important message in this song and it begins with a conversation between Cassius and his Grandma with her take on what the meaning of life.

lyrics

I'm a black man with a power (Power)
And its a pride I'm from Ghana
We don't lose
We just soar higher (Higher)
The blood of our soul yes is the answer (Ay)
I pledge allegiance that I'm gonna stay true to my roots
Nobody switching me (Switching me)
I do what I wanna do
Cos the God of my land men always backing me (Backing Me)
Our culture so rich
Hospitality
When you visit you get everything you need
The midnight breeze
Sweet internal peace
And top of that freedom and justice (Freedom and Justice)
I come from Ghana where beautiful girls are so I bambam (Bambam)
In God I trust so everything I do I sure is a pampam (Pampam)

Nyame ayebi
Yenda nase misi nyame ayebi
Yɛ wor gold bauxite amenities
Wu pɛ real life aa bra Ghana my homecity (Oh ye)
Nyame ayebi
Yenda nase misi nyame ayebi
Yɛ wor gold bauxite amenities
Wu pɛ real life aa bra Ghana my homecity (Oh ye)
Tete kute
Yesi akorda nnihwui kuraa owo atem didie
Nyame adom yesu yebedoro akyire
Se woa kor aba enie akwaaba (Akwaaba)
