Redemption Meaning & Lyrics (Kwesi Arthur)
Emmanuel Danso Arthur writes, ‘The streets robbed me of my innocence,’ showing his lost youth. The poet describes healed scars and a fire within that cannot be taken. He talks about his mother and his girl as reasons to survive.
Innocence these streets rob front meThe streets robbed me of my innocence,
Those scars long heal for bodyand the scars on my body have long since healed.
Cant kill me for my momiiThey can’t kill me, for my mommy’s sake,
Them cant kill me for my shordyno, they can’t take me away from my girl.
Rise up i dey bee bodyRise up, I’m thriving and enjoying life,
My desires paste and copiedwith my desires copied and pasted into reality.
This light i find for bodyThis light I’ve found within myself,
Can nobody take it from meis something nobody can take from me.
This my redemptionThis is my redemption,
This is my redemption i knowthis is the redemption I know.
This is my redemptionThis is my redemption,

Save yourself cos nobody go come save you ohSave yourself, ’cause nobody’s gonna come and save you, oh.
Bosam mpo suro maben nnye aduroEven the devil fears getting close to me; it’s not ‘juju’ magic,
Daa bi me mfa aduro matamfo ate kuosomeday, without me using any charms, my enemies will just fall away.
Se wo sebe me nee wo nyaa ne aniwuoIf you gossip about me, the only thing you’ll get is shame.
Dear lord i’m your servantDear Lord, I’m your humble servant,
Massive shoutouts and thanks to heavensending massive shoutouts and thanks to Heaven.
