Tontonte Lyrics by Ko-Jo Cue, AratheJay & Ofori Amponsah
Ehhhhh ahhhhh (Ginseng asɛ nsuo grawa)
Mmm ahhh mmmm (Me redwene, got me thinking louder)

Kwame ei
Back in the days me hu me
OG biara na w’abo
Nti me bisa no, Bra Dan
Aden na daa na w’ayɛ sram
Ɔse wo bɛ nyini abɛ to
He went to Lagos to get rich
Hustle hard make e pick
Dem deport am 83
W’anfa hwee
Agye ne Ghana must go
But man be who dey do
No be who do some
Ɔbra nso kakra ni wo ho a it’s too gruesome
To make a move, you for move on
Nti ne nsem hyɛ tirimu
Hwɛ, ɔgye ne quarter on credit
Na ɔne brothers asette
Gulder nam mu, ɛsweate
Talking pain and lessons
Gain and blessings
The women, the children
And now I get it
Ma yɛ barima nti
Ɔbra no rekɔ m’ani
I’m at that age, I dey craze
But the Hennessy’s
Cheaper than therapy
Nti Friday then I link boys
Kokroko na ɛɛma me joy
Ɛnmaa m’ani so a me nkɔɔ yɛ
Me wia a m’atippo rejoice
Finding myself in the stories shared
Everybody needs somebody who’s always there
