MY GREAT HIVEANS; MY GREAT AFRICAN PIPU; AND GREAT LOVERS OF GOOD MUSIC 🎶 I HAIL UNA OOO!!! I GREET YOU ALL!!! 🙌

This is another week of our lovely and amazing event on Hive, Afri-tunes.

This is the 7th week of our Afri-tunes event and for this week I'll be presenting a Guitar cover of the song KWAKU THE TRAVELLER by Black Sherif.

This is a song that speaks about the journey of a traveller and hustler, recounting the many mistakes and ~~"fuck ups"~~ he made and his resolution to keep on moving towards a better life. Black Sherif refers to himself as this "TRAVELLER: KWAKU THE HUSTLER"

This song was sung by a Ghanaian artist but it soon became a viral sensational music on Tiktok and Twitter. It also broke into the Nigerian music market and became the top 1 song of the Nigeria's top 100 songs on Apple Music.

LYRICS OF KWAKU THE TRAVELLER

Yeah
Kwaku Killa don't lie when I say I did it, I did it (I did it, I did it)
Big stacks big cash my way but still I fumbled it (fumbled it)
Under one minute (one minute)
Still I can't believe (can't believe)
But I can't blame myself for this shit
I knew mandem was born for this shit
Of course I fucked up
Who never fuck up hands in the air, no hands?
Still I can't believe (can't believe)
She know what I mean (what I)
I was young what you expect from me?
It is what it is
But I keep going on
More like a rolling stone (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 (yeah)
No, I go dey run my race
I'm gonna keep my pace
'Cause I really have no one to blame when I fall again
I can't stand this pain
I can't watch me fail
So anytime you pray
Remember my name

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
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

They say, when it's on then it's on (then it's on)
You can't stop 'til it's done (then it's on)
Sika dam na meebɔ
Abranteɛ aa masi soɔ (eeeey)
Cigarette si mano
Ntampe nkoa na meetwe (maba)
Cigarette si mano
Cigarette si mano
When it's on then it's on (then it's)
I can't stop 'til it's done (then it's on)
Sika dam na meebɔ
Abrantie aa masi soɔ eeeey
Cigarette si mano
Ntampe nkoa na meetwe
Cigarette si mano
Cigarette si mano

Nti daaaaa (nti daaaaa)
You'll see me on the roadside (mayɛ fine)
Talking to the most high, high, high, high
