BLACK STAR! Lyrics

Argh, just another day, putting cocoa butter on

Just another day, putting cocoa butter on

Just another day, putting cocoa butter what?

Just another day, putting cocoa butter on

Red, yellow, green, got the black star

Ghanaian man, all black scars

Onyx on my chest, got a black heart

From the UK, landed in Accra

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

Red, yellow, green, got the black star

Ghanaian man, all black scars

Onyx on my chest, got a black heart

From the UK, landed in Accra

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

Oti den, when I step 'round in Takoradi

Rasta man when the dreads them swing

Broke the clock, had to check my wrist

I been stressed seeing my time tick

Scared I ain't do enough when I know I do a lot

Took a risk, I invest, now I'm seein' all the costs

All this weight, I been carryin' loads, they ain't ever gonna see the work done

Black boy like me is just one of one

Try bite flows, you gon' end up undone

When I spit that, it's a venomous one

It's a venomous one, It's a venomous one

Been too nice, I done bit off my tongue

One more word, then we get a man gone

Man I been too nice, I done bit off my tongue

Done with the words and it's getting too long

Red, yellow, green, got the black star

Ghanaian man, all black scars

Onyx on my chest, got a black heart

From the UK, landed in Accra

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

Red, yellow, green, got the black star

Ghanaian man, all black scars

Onyx on my chest, got a black heart

From the UK, landed in Accra

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

Didn't know they were messing with an African man

Hit the crib for some soup and the pounded yam

Grew up in the North, in the white man's land

Oh well, I still eat food with my hands

Young me came through with the hair so tough

This melanin never got no love

I done went through the motions

Couldn't let it swerve me in the moment

God forbid if a man blows steam

I think I could resemble The Locomotive

I ain't gonna vent, I ain't blowing it off

You must have forgot where I'm from

Been from a place way hotter than shito

Long time we been tryna make it outta the blocks

Just another day putting cocoa butter on

Just another day putting cocoa butter on

Red, yellow, green, got the black star

Ghanaian man, all black scars

Onyx on my chest, got a black heart

From the UK, landed in Accra

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

Red, yellow, green, got the black star

Ghanaian man, all black scars

Onyx on my chest, got a black heart

From the UK, landed in Accra

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

''Ete Sen'' when I step 'round in that part

That part, that part

Just another day, putting cocoa butter on

Just another day, putting cocoa butter on

Just another day, putting cocoa butter on

Just another day, putting cocoa butter on
