Lyrics
[Intro: Yaadman]
(Yaadman)
Yeah, yeah
Uh-huh
Big up the kings and the queens in the building
You know how we do it
Life is a game of wins and losses
Let’s go
[Chorus: Yaadman]
I’ve been through the wins and the losses
Counting the pain and the costs
I’m still standing, I never get lost
I’m a survivor, I’m paying the price
Yeah, we celebrate the wins and the losses
Real niggas know what it costs us
Still on the road, no matter the crosses
We keep it moving, we never get lost
[Verse 1: Sarkodie]
(Uh, check)
Me firi hene? You know where I’m from
Titi no asɛm, the battle is won
I’m seeing the vision, I’m beating the drum
Every move I make is like a kingdom come
Nipa bɛyɛ wo bɔne, but you still gotta focus
They wanna see you down, yeah, they think it’s a hocus pocus
But the hustle is real, man, I’m making it noticed
From the street to the stage, yeah, the boy is the dopest
I remember the days when the pocket was light
Now we shining so bright like a city at night
Every win is a blessing, every loss is a lesson
No time for the stressin’, we keep ’em all guessin’
Legendary status, yeah, I’m holding the crown
Obidi, I’m the king of the town
No matter the weight, man, I never go down
I’m turning the losses and wins all around
[Chorus: Yaadman]
I’ve been through the wins and the losses
Counting the pain and the costs
I’m still standing, I never get lost
I’m a survivor, I’m paying the price
Yeah, we celebrate the wins and the losses
Real niggas know what it costs us
Still on the road, no matter the crosses
We keep it moving, we never get lost
[Verse 2: Yaadman]
Straight from the dirt, now we touching the sky
Never let a hater come tell you a lie
Keep your head up, keep your aim on the high
We born for the glory, we never gon’ die
Life is a journey, we taking the flight
Winning the battle and winning the fight
Through the darkness, we seeking the light
Doing it wrong ’til we doing it right
Yaadman, I’m a different breed
Planting the vision, I’m sowing the seed
Everything I want, man, I got what I need
Taking the lead with a different speed
Celebrate the scars, they show where we been
Through the thick and the thin, yeah, we coming to win
Wash away the doubt, wash away the sin
Open the door and let the greatness in
[Chorus: Yaadman]
I’ve been through the wins and the losses
Counting the pain and the costs
I’m still standing, I never get lost
I’m a survivor, I’m paying the price
Yeah, we celebrate the wins and the losses
Real niggas know what it costs us
Still on the road, no matter the crosses
We keep it moving, we never get lost
[Outro: Sarkodie & Yaadman]
(Obidi!)
Yeah, you know what it is
Wins and losses
It’s all part of the story
Keep grinding
Yaadman, Sarkodie
