Shatta Wale – Botoe Lyrics
[Listen] Botoe Lyrics by Shatta Wale
The Ga land belongs to the Gas
Nii Armah Shatta Wale, let us all come together to preserve our heritage
And support all our traditional authorities to project our culture
Nii Armah Shatta Wale, The Ga land belongs to the Gas
*First Verse
I say the Ga land belongs to the Gas
It is a taboo to fish on Tuesdays
Almighty God, you are my protector
The group: Shatta Wale, we are solidly behind him
Paaah Paaah Paaah
I have dazed them like codeine
There is a search for me, with my picture as guide
Tonight I will raise my rod
Shatta will lead them into the forest
“Just in case” has done it again
Babies are being born and they are being outdoored
We have descended, inform Teiko
This is reality and they are hiding again
The mouth that causes destruction is the same mouth for blessing
Good chiefs are not deposed
Everyone comes under scrutiny, Shatta Wale told them
They said they won’t go
They were advised but didn’t go
Now they are calling on the Almighty God
Then they are hit hard by the realities of life
They didn’t listen
Shatta said okay
They saw me and took to their heels
They are hit hard by the realities of life
Hit hard by the realities of life
Hit hard by the realities of life
*Second Verse
Incantation:
The Ga land belongs to the Gas
Nai, Nai, our deity
It is a taboo to fish on Tuesdays
Almighty God, you are my protector
They said they are ahead of me, interestingly we are gone
They are against me but I’m not bothered
Incantation Ends
Almighty God
We will reign for 2,000 years
Pioneer nails, we are nailing it
Chemu Vandamme, we have stopped them
Today, Maa Kai will not sell fish
Fishmongers at Aborjwe are not selling today
People from Palladium call me Pablo
You will be shunned at Tuesday market
They said they won’t go
They were advised but didn’t go
Now they are calling on the Almighty God
Then they are hit hard by the realities of life
They didn’t listen
Shatta said okay
They saw me and took to their heels
They are hit hard by the realities of life
Hit hard by the realities of life
Hit hard by the realities of life
Message From Nii Akape III
Greetings to our fathers and mothers and all Ga-Adangme
This is Nii Akape III
We are speaking at this point for the wellbeing of our Ga land
I urge all traditional rulers to rise up to instill discipline
Some people are taking us for granted
Our brother, Charles Nii Armah Mensah is commending all proactive chiefs
He is very happy for this initiative
The Ga land belongs to the Gas
I urge all Gas to rise up.
*Third Verse
Hit hard by the realities of life
I have dazed them like codeine
There is a search for me, with my picture as guide
Tonight I will raise my rod
Shatta will lead them into the forest
“Just in case” has done it again
Babies are being born and they are being outdoored
We have descended, inform Teiko
This is reality and they are hiding again
The mouth that causes destruction is the same mouth for blessing
Good chiefs are not deposed
Everyone comes under scrutiny, Shatta Wale told them
*Ending
We thank God for his protection
It has been a tough battle
Very tough but we will be victorious my fellow Gas
Let us rise up
Message From Women
Shatta Wale, I like him a lot
God bless him and what he is doing for Ghana
May God protect him against his enemies and their mission
I’m excited anytime I see him then scream Paah Paah Paah!
Forget it
