Verse 2
Could I be right?
1994, we used to listen to Nas, Outkast, and playas more
Biggie Small, how much sense he got
Influence, more more dress codes changed from linen to jeans
In turns, we guys went from stage to stage
All kinds of age, rap became like some kind of play
1995 was the rise of hiplife
Mixed the highlife hooks and rap songs like trade
I remember Funkyfuncture, Funkadelics in effect
Tactis, NFL, Black Prophet
I name a few, name the rest, don't forget PLZ in the house, Rockstone, Tsooboi
Back in the days, we used to hustle to be recognized
National T, to and fro, back to source
Dominated by highlife, we still fought
Now look at us; Rocky, Gyo, Ɔboɔ
Trying to make some rap go with some Carribean thoughts
A little word for all the jealous fellas and all the haters
You know, don't get tensed up
Just, throw your hands up
No you can't stop, till the beat stops
But it's never gonna stop
Only time could tell what we have found out
Highlife connects to my hiplife now
Hiphop with a reggae hook , how that sound?
Can't push your legs to this dance sound
I know you want champagne but nope
But no, you drinking on palmwine
Smoke and make your brain feel (highlife)
Now put your pants up (burger highlife)
Say what (now my life is hiplife)

Rocky, Gyo ne Ɔboɔ, yɛrebɔ yɛn dondo
