Don't Follow Me - M.anifest, Bayku, Yaa Pono

Verse 1

May day may day may day cause on pay day I dey spend dough

Money spent on bars 3 yrs could buy a benzo

Let’s not pretend tho' I’m a weekend warrior

Escaping from my kids and my wife Gloria

My 9to5 really not my vibe e dey vex me

Living in the bottle cause akpeteshie gets me

Making noise with the boys we dey watch la liga

But my empty soul dying slow it’s got a fever

Viva the diva I live with she religious

Every Sunday collecting collection what is this?

Pastor says fast and pray but I want a faster way

And by the way i got a new side bae

Big trouble in little paradise

See this double life it’s a land mine, what a life

Doing PDA when i should be t PTA

Akos saw and chuked she told Chuks, bue

Now i dey tell all my paddies

Hook

Mek you no follow me oh, don’t follow me

Mek you no follow me oh, don’t follow me

Ting go jom you today, but turn around tomorrow… so

Follow me oh, don’t follow me

Verse 2

Stumbled upon a piece of paper did not know the author

Scribbles quite little curious what it would offer

Often I do lose things here and there

Hard to bear the thought of it my paddy is torture

Kept a straight face I’m faced with a dilemma

Read the stranger’s letter or put it in a trash can

I heard a brass band pass by, I can

Imagine this letter could be by a cheating husband

Caught by a dash cam then ein wife lef am

Love gone now he’s left with apologies (yeah fam)

Or maybe it’s a story of pride and glory

A struggling genius begging the world «don't ignore me!»

Can’t hold the candle he’s burning on both sides

Play his piano, black keys, no size

Lost the woman of his dreams to a lesser man

Instead of growing Chuks chose the route of peter pan

Now e dey tell all ein paddies

Hook

Mek you no follow me oh, don’t follow me

Mek you no follow me oh, don’t follow me

Ting go jom you today, but turn around tomorrow… so

Follow me oh, don’t follow me

Verse 3

Kɔmfo pa ne kɔmfo panyin ba mon ma ɔmo beer

Nipa ne ka car no, nso Onyame na okita steer

Men tɔ nam ne shitor sokyii ma wo, na ɔkyena me wu ɛ?

Bridge

Every time I tell am go-way

They turn around and follow

Ting go Jom you today but turn around tomorrow

So, so so so so

Ting go Jom you today but turn around tomorrow

So…

Hook

Mek you no follow me oh, don’t follow me

Ting go jom you today, but turn around tomorrow… so

Follow me oh, don’t follow me
