AFRI-TUNES Week 182// Reekado Banks Ozumba Mbadiwe (cover)

about 24 hours ago

Music is a global language, you don't need to understand it before you can enjoy it. Hello again, greetings and a good day to everyone. Welcome to the 182nd edition of Afritunes, I am @coderaikiri and for entry this lovely week I'll be presenting a song cover to Reekado Bank's 2021 hit single titled Ozumba Mbadiwe stay tuned fams.
A lot of times these artists focus heavenly on love songs, so when Reeky-baby did something this spectacular after months of hiatus, it was worth listening to. The song can be seen as an advise, a word of caution and the entirety of life. Ozumba Mbadiwe was a Nigerian Nationalist who gave his all for his country and even participated in the civil war fighting for a cause he deeply believed in. I guess the song is encouraging us all to fight the good fight to make the country a better place. The part where Reekado talked about the casualties of the #endsars protest on the 20th of October 2020 really hits different. I everything you do just remember if you thing you are big and you only fight for yourself, you are definitely big enough.
I hope you listen and enjoy this great song
Thanks.....
LYRICS
[Intro]
P, P
[Verse 1]
I no dey move dat way
Don’t make me move dat way
Me I no wan sleep for highway
‘Fore you cross, gaz look your sideways
Me I no come Lagos for child’s play
So I hear say dem dey find me
For the long time I been silent
I dey run am I be Sterling
But they think say I’m in hiding
Cos they don’t know how to find me
[Chorus]
I’ll be on Ozumba Mbadiwe
I’ll be on Ozumba Mbadiwe

[Verse 2]
Well if you think say you be giant you be giant for your pocket
If you only fight for your pocket (ewe)
For your pocket
October 20 2020, something happen with the government
They think say we go forget

Mmm, for Ozumba Mbadiwe
Man I tell ya

Don’t make me move dat way
No I’m not built that way
‘Fore I cross, gaz look my sideways
Me I no come Lagos for child’s play
In the meantime, Abike mi

If you need speed, I be Sterling
