Verse 1

Yeah

Kwaku Killa don’t lie when I say I did it, I did it (I did it, I did it)

Big stash, big cash my way but still I fumbled it (Fumbled it)

Under one minute (One minute)

Still I can’t believe (can’t believe)

But I can’t blame myself for this shit

I knew mandem was born for this shit

Of course I f-cked up

Who never f-ck up hands in the air, no hands?

Still, I can’t believe (Can’t believe)

You know what I mean (What?)

I was young what you expect from me?

It is what it is

But I keep going o

More like a rolling stone (Rolling stone)

Cause I have no stopping time

Can’t nobody stop a man

Oh I keep going on

More like a rolling stone

Cause I have no stopping time

Can’t nobody stop a man (Yeah)

No, I go dey run my race (I would always run my race.)

I’m gonna keep my pace

Cause I really have no one to blame when I fall again

I can’t stand this pain

I can’t watch me fail

So anytime you pray

Remember my name

Remember you know a traveler

The name is Kwaku the hustler

He’s been far away chasing gualala (He’s been far away chasing money/better life)
