I know what breathlessness is

Broda, it just went worse.
Your getup is not complete today
Why did you leave your smile in a safe?
Your 'friend' came here again
Tales were told
Don't ask me what
Are you here again?
Today no 1 cedi for you oo,
Masa, go find some job do.
So you! this 'chosh' kenkey too you won chop some?
With grumblings in my head
I walk the world with a smile on my face.
Keep to the right, keep to the right
The left people are coming by.
I know BREATHLESS
I gasp that first breath.
broda: play on the word Brother
masa: play on the word Master
Cedi: Ghanaian currency
chosh: small
