Music: Hussien Ibrahim Ademola
They call me ATANDA
But in these streets
When the beat sounds
I go by the name ATS
Every move I make, every step I take
It echoes KOKOKA
That Buggy Buggy Shoe beats
Louder than the doubts, louder
Than the silence I came from
This life? It's ROMANTIC
Not all roses and love songs
But passion for the hustle for the art
For the dream
I don't do watch noise
I don't bend for pressure
Tori KILOKANMI ?
What's my own with your opinion ?
I walk my path, eyes forward
They say I'm a BAD MAN KILLA
Cause I don't play safe
I move sharp, I dream wild
Yeah, WAHALA comes uninvited
Unexpected, But I've been trained
I remember what GRANDMA SAID
Pain go pass, Name go stay
Now! It's a BIG FLEX just to be here
Breathing! Rapping! Creating! and Living!
But yeah She sees it LABAKE knows
They watch, pretend, and scroll past
But feel everything
Pride won't let them admit it
They'll rather TELL MAN I'm not into him
Cool
I'm not chasing hearts, I'm chasing legacy
This is a LETTER TO MY LOVED ONES
To the ones who believed
To the ones who never saw the stage
But saw the dream
The ones who prayed
Who waited
Who never gave up even
When I almost did
I came from the dirty Lagos
Where the ROAD BOY DREAMS die young
But I refused! I stayed loud!
And I stayed bold!
Now I walk with grace like OBI
The wise one, The chosen
This is more than music
It's a mirror, a map, a memory
It's Atanda Sounds
