It’s one of those songs that even if you cannot understand everything written or sung, the passion is undeniably present. ‘Obiaa’ translates to “everyone” in Akan, an indigenous language from Ghana. According to Wikipedia, the Southern half of the African country speaks it mostly. For our fellow non-Akan-speaking viewers, the artist expressed in summary that the song means “he chooses not to mingle with many friends because its a risky one to do if you [are] from a poor background.” He continued, “the daily hustle will pay off pretty soon”, with the featured artist keeping a similar narrative, adding that “everyone in the world will hear of them when the hustle finally pays off.”
