WATER & BLOOD ALBUM by Yieyie
Track 1 - I Bore
The 3rd Party who told you to keep his/her name anonymous can easily ruin the relationship you have built over the years with your close friends
What prevents friends or relatives meeting to resolve issues
Are such gatherings only meant for funerals?
You soo much rely on hear-say.
If Mr. Anonymous is able to take sides and say things to you in closed doors
Whats stopping him from availing himself to repeat same thing in front of the conflicting party's.
Make you No make I bore
Track 2- Borga
"Borga" is a term use to describe Ghanaians who travel abroad and come back home living an extravagant lifestyle.
This song basically highlights the hidden struggles they (Borga's ) go through when they travel and the entitlement they feel or have to enjoy the wealth they labour for.
It also touches on the fact that nothing comes on a silver platter.
Track 4- Music Man
Music is a calling
Music is Spiritual
Life to your soul
There's no escape from music when it chooses you.
Music hunts you.
Music carries it's own weighted luggage of physical, emotional and spiritual wealth and dumps it on you
You, the Chosen One
And the Consequences you can't escape.
I AM THE MUSIC MAN
THIS AND MORE , CHECK MY MUSIC OUT
YIE !! YIEEE !!!
