Shake The Blues Lyrics [Verse 1: Kwame Write] To start with, you travel to the farthest seas And still miss home and mama's glean Where the sun leans next to alansa trees And the moon ingests all the silent breeze The analogies and the commentaries, Been gold from old, no fi tarnish we Let your daughters wear dreads in the dormitories Knowledge dem used to dread be what scholars seek Goes to grandmas in the ghettos with dem gutter genes/jeans And the brothers on the hustle, mix gari and beans Trotro conversation over Time magazine Kewa be one of wonna sign languages The Oga still dey chop, blue balance sheets Blue SUVs, blue notes in a bundle to bribe Police From my chop bar to your resto, from the local to the global Shakey shakey all the blues all the week [Chorus: Kwame Write + Tiphaine Deligne] Shakey shakey off the blues Shakey shakey the blues (4x) [Bridge: Kwame Write] Ma woa Ba mu mbu o Pemkɔ Woeni mu o (4x) [Chorus: Kwame Write + Tiphaine Deligne] Shakey shakey off the blues Shakey shakey the blues (4x) [Verse 2: Kwame Write] Kojo dey twaa shots and camera scenes Sports betting no go chop Akua’s hundred gees Invest, see returns, Harmattan streets Myopic mass frantic, where vigilance be Perched passion pits, praying pained prisoners plead Questions currently, them no answer we Jubilee house jubilations in jumping jeeps Potholes like public purse, them obvious leaks Goes to Young Ama Aidoo’s doing binge reading Young Achebe’s falling apart, keep reaching deep Fat leader flops, backbreaking beginning Now feeling foolish ranting why we receding Crossing rivers, school shivers, risk repeating Sliver of the silver, givers rarely receiving When weather really hard, things wither speedy fast Think of the greeny past Shakey shakey, rock the peak [Chorus: Kwame Write + Tiphaine Deligne] Shakey shakey off the blues Shakey shakey the blues (6x)
