Kwesi Arthur - I Be Where I Wanted To Be Lyrics
I be where I wanted to be when I was 16
From a city wey no dey sleep with many dreams
Blinded by desires for more so much I no dey see
Turned shit to gold, this is alchemy
Nyame dey keep blessing me
The world keeps testing me
Fuck slavery
I want freedom, it's my destiny
Had to take some time away
Them no wan let me breathe
Wherever I dey Africa I dey bleed
You talk Lele say I won't be shit without you
When I put the battery wey dey make you operate inside you
Fefe ne fe it's a banger yes I knew
If you made me then make another Arthur
Kwesi this, Kwesi that
Anytime I come online, you people just dey chat
E be me inspire your faves, make we chat the facts
If I no dey like neɛ ɔmo yɛ nyinaa yɛ wack
I had fake niggas back-biting
Fake hoes thought they tricked me, I dabodabo
E no dey pay my rent, fuck who no like me
All my life I've been an outsider
Them call me "Uncle" Bowleg when I was 6 years
Confused young kid. Why am I so different?
Started to tic bad at 10 years
You always find way show say I no normal
All that pain I had to deal with am alone
'Cause nobody show care, so quickly I had to grow
Plenty people for wanna house but nobody dey at home
Felt like the African version of "Home Alone"
I know you no go give it to me if I no fit to handle
I trust you so I get to it
Had a feeling one day e go be different, e no go be like this forever, saw the throne empty and I took it
But all the glory never fill my void so I step back just to see it all
Them figa man down them dey take shots
E no be direct can't respect it at all
Them dey work so hard to get rid of me
Every time them try to forget I pop back and remind them of just who I am and who I fucking be
Forever I make history
Who told you it's cool to be yourself?
And who told you it's also cool to want more?
I dey think for myself I no go conform
Who showed you if them lock it you go fit kick in the door?
Yeah this crazy paddie
Them wan replace me but they can't, it's why they hate me paddie
Who hold you down 6 summers from redemption valley
Who jam squad from Barcelona to Cali
I be where I wanted to be when I was 17
Moved out the hood to show the kids say there's way more to life than death bro you for live
Every second I breathe to me be a win
