Talking Drum

In ckan society
The drummer is the repository
Of our literary heritage
He also can create
He is creative
Now from here I think
I will let the drummer play phrases
Or let's call it
Some literary piece
For you to listen

Dis b yor last chance
We dey drum am in yor head
U wan dance
Dat b y Cote D'Ivoire still
Dey pay France
Dues dues
We bid u adieu
News news
Check youtube
The views
The drum dey talk
U tink say e dey sing
So u dey wine
U r lost
Like a bb ping
On an iphone9
Many b fake like tourist djembe drum from Ghana
Packed in a bag made with Kente print from China
Fuck afropolitan I b cosmopolitan nigga
Matter of fact fuck motherfuckers I b villager
Wot can com can come ay
Wot can Kamkam Boadu say
cbout da kantankerous decay
Wen the drums talk listen
Wen the drums sing dance
Learn 2 tell the difference
Then u will advance
Wen the drums talk listen
Wen the drums sing dance
Learn 2 tell the difference
Then u will advance

It's journey was absolutely fantastic
When I begun to use my ears as a kid
To be able to translate what the drums
Were actually saying


cre u still laffin at Dondology
U colonial slavery return wisher
Mocking cbraham cttah u still no dey get
The fokn picture
Yor pastor pasteurizing yor brain into milk
U pour from yor pitcher
Parroting what is rotten u've forgotten the true use of scripture
cdowa atumpan astimevu fontomfrom kpanlogo dondo
Fokn bois b d last true town criers from cxim to Bongo
U no listen yor common sense d time e dey beg u say please dont go
If u b fan of DBlack e raps wey u b rapper den pls dont flow
Kofi Ghanaba Yaw Kontor Cici Frank Sunday chale more dey
Master drummers dash we demma rhythms wey we take more play
Polyrhythmic syncopation
Paradidilious innovation
Tone slap tone demonstration
Drum roll frustration of the nation

Some of the traditional cfrican religious things that they were doing
They are not doing those things anymore
The cfrican way of drumming sounds very unwholesome
To the European ear
The Ghanaian is losing his identity very fast
The time will come when cmericans will give you a paper
To tell you that you are a master drummer from Ghana
