Museke African music lyrics musicians songs interview chit-chat

Adara


(This is not a love song..but its straight from the heart)

Verse 1
I wanna talk about the stress wanna get of my chest /
take my time and re-invest/
asking is it worth it?? All the sleepless nights/
the fights and the crisis , the critics biting/
Mama told me there'd be days like this/
put your pen to paper never use your fist/
imagine how I came through my fears rhyming/
started my career , blew it up with the trybesmen/
a lot of people had their own opinions/
took it in my stride and stuck to my onions/
they think they know who she would be, should be/
numbed by the pressure but i really wanna be me/
inspiration gone..direction gone...
packing my bags i must be .must be done/
but my heart keeps drawing me back you can do it baby one more track!

Chorus (2ce)
Hey (hey}
keep your head up don't you cry {CRY}
You can make it if you try..SA RA GIRI OMO EKUN..ADARA ADARA

Verse 2
Wey the hits? wey the album?/
have to measure up to the standards of the stardom/
cant explain three years running and only one single /
confessing to the audience only one video?/
but you hear me though...E mi ni mo wa ise/
won de make sure pe ..e mi ni mo ri ise/
Emcess coming out gotta top the charts/
i'm losing it losing it .pulling all the stops/
maybe a party song?No thats regular/
do a whole song and spit it vernacular?/
I'm going crazy right now so i put my pen down/
dont be mad if you see me walking round with a frown/
i'm just tired of this, performing at shows and dont get paid/
gotta make friends ,so dont dare say it ../
trying to convinve myself gotta believe it!/

Chorus (2ce)

Verse 3
i'm speaking out for a lot of us women/
When the skills dont bring the ends then we give in?/
gotta look back at mistakes that we made/
deep down you possess the tricks of the trade/
they can't tell us that we can't be the best/
put the work in it let God do the rest/
it's in our own minds that we stay limited/
see it through the eyes of a child that's still innocent/

Bridge
Why tell me why/
i just cant seem to decide/
Everytime i walk away something's killing me inside/
I wanna go..but I can't let go/
How do I get through this ..I don't know/

Chorus till fade

I love this song! All ye welcome the queen of Nigerian hip hop to Museke. She arguably is the queen of African hip hop too.

Here are translations for the Yoruba lyrics in Adara from Sasha Alabi

ADARA means it shall be well, things will get better , basically there's hope ahead..
Sa ra giri - means pull yourself together , compose urself etc
Omo ekun -means child of a tiger, I'm from the royal family in Ekiti state and it is one of my ORIKIS(praise titles/songs/chants) that you are greeted with, tigers are meant to be strong and fearless....

So in full , Pull urself together child of a tiger , things will get better!!!

From Bella Naija

"Nigerian rapper and First Lady of Storm Records, Sasha has undergone a name change from Sasha to Sasha P (...The P is for Persona right?)
We are not sure what inspired this name change but if Diddy can go from Puff Daddy to Puffy to P Diddy to Diddy to Sean Combs...then why cant Sasha add a P?
I'm luvin' her new album by the way."

Does this new album have Adara on it too? And what else?

What is with musicians undergoing name changes?

Sasha P? Oh well, me likes any name that has a P involved. I guess she was going to be mistaken for the other Sasha

:-P
