AFRI-TUNES WEEK 46|| ACOUSTIC VERSION OF BANDANA BY FIREBOY FT ASAKE
Hello lovely people of Afri-tunes family, it's been a while for me around here and I am super glad to be here once again to express my self musically through African music.
For the 46th week, I have chosen to present an AFROBEAT song by Fireboy featuring the Nigerian spot light artist, Asake. This song has gained a lot of popularity in Nigeria and around Africa because of its strong African oriented flow. It's message is basically positivity and believing in oneself especially in the aspect of music. One of the strongest assertions in the lyrics of the song that spoke to me is " Music chose me, just know this and know peace".
The melodic strength of this song has led even various choirs to replicate it with lyrics that sooths the message they want to pass.
Since I am not very disposed to sing, I decided to play the melody of the song using my acoustic guitar, while simultaneously backing it up with the chords.
I Hope you enjoy my presentation!!!
Song lyrics
Lowkey
All of them don dey notice
I'm not joking
All my guys dem dem know me
Since '06
I've been writing this story
I no be OG
But if you ask dem, dem know me
I no dey blow trees
Orin lo n yi mi lori
Music chose me
Just know this and know peace
I dey lowkey
But I'm never lonely
Sexy ladies
Come whine fi me slowly
[Asake:]
Na the love wey I see
Na him wey give me liver
I be ghetto boy I be sinner
Fear nobody only Jehovah
And I thank the lord I dey go far
Usain Bolt, mo d'aleba
Shoutout si awon temi ninu Shitta
Bandana lori bi ti 2 Pac
Midnight walkers, karashika
Dem never see me coming (Jo jo jo jo)
Oh coming (L'Eko)
Mo gbe wan ni 'is coming' (E yeah, e yeah yeah o)
Naija boy wey dey go foreign (Dey go foreign)
Wey go foreign (Dey go foreign)
Oshe Mr. Money
[Fireboy DML:]
I'm never weak
I never cease
Till eternity
I'm on fire
My legacy will not die
My family is for life
Where dem dey?
Who dem be? (Awon da?)
Dem go craze
Dem go tire
Dem go say
Dem go say
Dem no know wetin dey sup
But lowkey
All of them don dey notice
I'm not joking
All my guys dem dem know me
Since '06
I've been writing this story
I no be OG
But if you ask dem, dem know me (Gi gi gi- giddem)
[Asake:]
Na the love wey I see
Na him wey give me liver
I be ghetto boy I be sinner
Fear nobody only Jehovah
And I thank the lord I dey go far
Usain Bolt, mo d'aleba
Shoutout si awon temi ninu Shitta
Bandana lori bi ti 2 Pac
Midnight walkers, karashika
Dem never see me coming (Jo jo jo jo)
Oh coming (L'Eko)
Mo gbe wan ni 'is coming' (E yeah, e yeah yeah o)
Naija boy wey dey go foreign (Dey go foreign)
Wey go foreign (Dey go foreign)
Oshe Mr. Money
Dem never see me coming
See me coming
Mo gbe wan ni is coming
Naija boy wey dey go foreign
Wey go foreign
Oshe Mr. Money
