Tag: Kweku Flick

Yesterday, Ghanaian star Kweku Flick released his latest track, ‘Fire’, featuring his fellow Ghanaian, Sarkodie, one of Africa’s prestigious modern artists. The song is predominantly in Twi. Aside from its title and lyrics in its hook, it is about how great God is and the blessings they receive through His grace. Unfortunately, there aren’t any written lyrics available for translation. Nonetheless, check out the track to hear their infectious flows and get a deeper explanation below through my conversation with my friend Ian, who speaks Twi.

Instead of settling for what I gathered through research, a friend named Ian, who speaks Twi, explained what the song means. Kindly read what he sent to me on WhatsApp:

This is what the song is saying:

Intro: Kweku Flick says the heavens have spoken, the God of Israel has blessed them.

Flick’s first verse: Basically saying nobody can lay a hand on him because God has blessed him, and continues to protect him. Now he’s the light because of God’s blessings and the dark has been defeated.

Chorus: Flick says he’s on fire, he’s the talk of the town and there’s no one like him.

Sarkodies first verse: God’s blessings in his life are uncountable and he’s protected by the Holy Ghost. He’s enjoying God’s Grace and will never lack. Says no matter what he goes through, no matter how people try to defame him or the bad things they do to him, God will continue to protect him and bless him.

Flick’s bridge: The enemy made plans against him, wished him dead and set traps, but they all failed. He walked those trap laden paths unscathed thanks to his courage and stubbornness. He’s a ravaging fire because of God’s blessings. Nobody can touch anyone God has blessed. Basically ‘who Jah bless, no one curse’. The light shines and darkness is defeated.

Chorus repeats. Song ends.

Thank you, Ian, for your help. I sincerely appreciate it.
