[Intro: Sam Cooke]

I was born by the river

In a little tent

And just like the river I've been running

Ever since

It's been a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

[Bridge]

Interviewer: Mese bisa wo question but ma no ɛnyɛ ɔhare so kakra ma yɛn wai mesrɛwo

Interviewee: Me nua, to be honest with you. Ma hw3 around w'an fa awards no aba. Wode bayɛ paa anka mɛgyi afiri wonsɛm di ama....

[Verse 1]

Yeah

If I got a cedi for everytime these motherfuckers overlooked me

For all of the times they stepped on me

I bet I'd prolly be filthy

But I, never been a quitter, never never

They will never win, I'm hella better

LOMI never back down

Back at it like I'm laying in a bed of feathers

Looking back on what I been through

Pain never been a issue

Feeding my addiction

Gave me thick skin

You can never break through

And if Ali was the greatest, Bar Three is the apex

This the last tape I go make then cause I say more when I say less

They never seen my level ever since I was a Skillion

Watching all my fellow Ghana men hate on me when I'm tryna put my CD on

Them dey fear me when they hear me

You no go fit to near me mini nɔɔ

'Cause, if you dey clock, all the time

Watch who you go bring around

No, no, no, no, nemesis

You were not here from my genesis

You will not take away the blood

Take away the sweat

Take away the fear

No chale

If you dey hung for food for thought, then let me deliver the recipe

B.A.R One, B.A.R Two, B.A.R Three

Trinity!

[Bridge]

Naa

See the thing be say, me, E.L?. Naa

I don't think this be ein year

I hear say he dey rush too

I've personally had first hand experience of that

I meet am for...

[Verse 2]

I be going very heavy over beats

In the belly of the beast

Young LOMI, E.L

Yeah I got my name heavy in the streets

And these days, DJs know they gotta keep my record on repeat

'Cause I am sky-high, I dey barb why I'm the man you wanna defeat

And I know, I know

Chale I'm here for the one reason

One life, one life, LOMI's gonna be in the front leading

For the limelight, limelight, niggas still shading for one reason

You shine bright, shine bright, when you're an angel amongst demons

Holy Mother of Christ, never spitted a lyric that didn't come from my heart

Imma give it a hundred percent

See if I dey lie, God strike me

I'm still here so its more likely I told the truth

What's my name? B.A.R bitch!

Chale, make I drop my shit

Who you know got bars like this

Make I off my switch

We go see who go fit give you BAR 4,5,6

Best African Rapper, young LOMI, E.L baby!

Ghana boys to the world let's go!

ELiens, we will

[Outro: E.L, Sam Cooke ]

There have been times that I thought I couldn't last for long

There were times that I thought, that I couldn't last for long you know

But now I think I'm able to carry on

But, now I think I'm able to, to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming

Man, its been a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

But I know, I know that change is gon' come

Bar three, the LOMI era

We're here
