Long Text to Aso Lyrics
[Verse 1: Kwame Write]
Aso, you be the last chop, sombro jollof e dey hoard since last gbεkε
What dey go on? Mek we comot sekof wɔgbε jεkε
We for meet soon, share très cool time, my schedule be naked
I flip through my whatsapp, what's up? ..your last line; “take care”
My feelings say make I save, I get sacred interest
You dey rise in the east of my heart dey set in the west
Dey kai by the fireside with Dokono how you dey warm chest
You dey vibe like Ebo Taylor Highlife dey reduce stress
Dey comfort all the contorts, come to constructs we dey comot
Dey conjure when the sun drop till the dawn crawl for the long course
Love dey sooth like harmattan shea
Honest truth, ɔfrε me abranteε
Now your soup has one akranteε
This kind groove is not like last year
Can't disprove we're adamant here
Blast the roof then make the sun tear
How you move brings cool balance here
Adwoa dey wiggle like some Adowa Orchestra near jεjεjε
[Chorus: Tiphaine Deligne]
Love is real oo
Love no for be complex
[Chorus: Kwame Write]
Brε tesε anomaa, mayεnkɔ
Otwemu a wonnya ne fofrɔ o mayεnkɔ
Abotrε tutu mmepɔ mayεnyɔ
Wei diε yεnyε ntwintwεnso o ma nensɔ (2x)
[Bridge: Kwame Write + Tiphaine Deligne]
Fa wontoma bεbɔ me deε ano ma yεnko (8x)
[Verse 2: Kwame Write]
Aso, you be the reason I dey the beach side dey pick sea shells
I hear the waves they carry message, they wish we keep well
Your mangoes ripe, your free anatomy is such surreal
Make we type write letters mother's tongue then cast deep spells
Last time you try you break your heart but this no sequel
I mean well, I keep notes, I love jokes and details
I text back, I email, make we fetch for the deep well
Fathia fata Nkrumah, enemies they want us derailed
Love dey sooth like harmattan shea
Honest truth, ɔfrε me abranteε
Now your soup has one akranteε
This kind groove is not like last year
Can't disprove we're adamant here
Blast the roof den mek the sun tear
How you move brings cool balance here
Adwoa dey wiggle like som Adowa Orchestra near jεjεjε
[Chorus: Tiphaine Deligne]
Love is real oo
Love no for be complex
[Chorus: Kwame Write]
Brε tesε anomaa, mayεnkɔ
Otwemu a wonnya ne fofrɔ o mayεnkɔ
Abotrε tutu mmepɔ mayεnyɔ
Wei diε yεnyε ntwintwεnso o ma nensɔ (2x)
