First' all, we all came from the up up North/
Present Ghana was owned by the Guans/
That's many tribes including Gonja/
And the people of Oti Region town Nkonya/
Some say Asantes came from a hole/
Some talk Mesopotamia too/
They were warlike fought who they could/
Had their territories before the whites came through/
The real Asantes were short and cute/
and wanted more tall and gallant youths/
to conquer more so the made that move/
having babies with the northerners coz they were huge/
Ntafour na music wormu y3 3moa nu/
mi sr3 mi kaan,wor mua nsu n3 boa mu/
this is sensitive,might sound offensive /
but let me go on,be attentive!/
So they built strong armies for wars/
wanted different routes to the seashores/avoiding clashes with the Akyem of coz
/so they became allies with the Akwamu for sure/
the Akwamu's were fighting Ewem3 people/
meaning all Ewes except Anlo people/
from 1868 to 1872/
you may find some time and do your research too/
Began with 3000 Asantes,1000 Akwamu soldiers/
And Adu Baffour brought 1000 more warriors/
they captured some Ewe towns and were in the lead/
Until Ewes united led by Mote/
Dagadu of Kpando,Deh of Peki/
In 1869, 1st victory came and Asantes started to cry/
Kofi Karikari was Asantehene then/
And wanted all the troops to return/
But General Adu Baffour wouldn't listen/
until they got slaughtered in Agu Valley/
Some survivors fled to Nsuta /
No one thought there will be friction in the future/
some Ewes were taken captives while they fought/
and thought the Asantes to weave the Kente cloth/
Kpetoe is where it all started from/
Sorry but the spider story can't work no more/
The real name of the cloth is K3- T3/
The Asantes wrongly called it Kente/
The name K3-T3 is from weaving of the cloth/
K3 means open T3 means press,that's Ewe of coz/
Okomfo Anokye's real name Togbe Tsala/
Twin brother Togbe Tsali,Togbe Akplamada their father/
Tsala left Notsie settled in Awukugua/
3nti Okomfour wor fri Notsie/
Na àdani ab3 y3 Okomfour Anokye/
The greatman who conjured the golden stool/
Which brought Asantes unity and power too/
So when you call Ewes juju people/
Remember,same power behind your kingdom/
And if Asantehene respects Ewe people/why stereotype and disrespect the people/
May be your history teacher never taught any of this/
Is unfortunate a lot of our history has lies and myths/
Do you know the real name of Kwame Nkrumah /
It is Francis Nwia Kofi Ngolonma/
I love Nana Yaa Asantewa/
But historians lied about her leading the war/
What she actually did was to incite/
Until the scared men got inspired to fight/
You are Asante and know none of this/
But you look down on any tribe that exists/
You even call yourself Ashanti/
Let me correct you,it is Asante/
Ghana is one,no tribe is superior/
Dont make here Rwanda,you tribal bigot/there are many Asantes who aren't tribalistic/
Loving each other as one is fantastic/
Outro
Alvin Toffler,once said
The illiterate of the 21st century,will not be those who can't read and write
But those who cannot learn,unlearn and relearn.
World wide, is Trey L.A.
Graaaaaaa!!!
