Sarkodie’s latest song ‘The Masses’ recorded on Dr Dre’s “The Watcher” instrumentals and mixed by Possigee is arguably the song of the moment trending on social media now.
For the benefit of those who do not understand the Twi language, this article tries to translate the lyrics into English language.

I have thought about this for long. The Ghanaian nation.
Are we going forward or backwards?
Let’s go, listen!
I have said it, I wish to reiterate it. And may God give me the heart to say it respectfully, so that they do not send people to shoot me at dawn. But I don’t have a choice since I dislike what is going on in town.
First of all, this goes out to the youth. The youth, because the level we have reached, if we don’t think deep but rather lose hope he might not survive it. By the time we will realize this, we might have been dead fowl.
First of all, does the government ensure your security; think about you or rather uses your money to build his personal house? What do you intend to do with the degree that you have acquired from university? Will you take it abroad to sweep or go to Techiman?
The hypocritical attitude of us Africans. When they dislike you that means that you rather speak the truth. We are suffering due to our foremothers’ breast milk. They do not teach any sense in school, give us me a break.
Our leaders must learn to speak the truth. So can’t you see how Ghanaians are suffering? We produce oil, yet we continue to beg. I see a broken tooth in your mouth, yet you insist it is a mere diastema. They are killing us, yet we are too scared to say.
