Sarkodie ft Castro
Catsro's story is very sad [click]
Nice flow Sarkodie.
Many of the Youtube comments on the Adonai song refer to Castro, but others are from some requesting a translation.. and how others feel about that
Here's one summary of the song provided by DjEric GH - 1 month ago
'He says that God is the Alpha and the Omega. That what he says will happen. Raise your hands and praise the Lord. He is the only one who can give comfort. Raise your hands and sing hallelujah. The rap continues to describe the hardships he went through and how people wanted him to remain in bas.Ils also tried to have him arrested. Now they are ashamed and turn away when they see .It does not hate his enemies or cursed. It is by the grace of God, he is where he is now and going higher. No other force can work on him except Christ. He urged all to pray non-custodial loose (free). Commit all your worries to God. . The last part of the song is worship; God, you created the universe, the heavens and the earth, you are great. You take care of all your creation. You take care of me, my family and my friends. That is why we call you Adonai !! You bless us beyond measure. Thank you !! By Your grace we live in today. (Baba means Father) Baba God. You are too good !!'

'In honor of Castro am translating his chorus for does who dont understand twi to get the message of this song...'
"when God comes into your life all your troubles will end
what God says is final and will surely come to pass
when God lifts up His hands mountains are moved
So my friend (paddy) dont lose hope (loose guard) take heart and relax
Everybody sing Hallelujah"
Language (and religion) was a great way to keep Africans divided (and under control) during the era of the transatlantic slave trade, at home... and abroad. Fortunately many still found ways to communicate.. and new languages evolved.
This was an interesting comment... from Stuart Tweedie - 3 weeks ago
'+Khin Ninson Not really. I'm half Ghanaian but do not speak Twi. There's no reason to objectify those who don't speak if they are interested in learning...There are many Ghanaians who have grown up abroad and do not speak. You should be more open an accepting of those who show interest..'
Surely by now we know this
