[VERSE 1 — THE FUGU STORY] Fugu
came
from
the
North,
But
Ghana
made
it
her
own.
A
cloth
of
identity,
A
symbol
proudly
worn.
From
Osagyefo
Kwame
Nkrumah,
To
Jerry
John
Rawlings,
Professor
Atta
Mills,
To
John
Dramani
Mahama.
Different
generations,
Different
chapters
in
our
story,
But
the
Fugu
still
reminds
us
Of
service,
country
and
dignity.
Now
in
Ɔkère,
a
team
has
risen,
United
by
a
common
call:
Not
for
one
man
to
take
everything,
But
opportunity
for
all!
[HOOK] LEAD:
ONE
FABRIC!
CROWD:
ONE
PURPOSE!
LEAD:
ONE
PURPOSE!
CROWD:
ONE
ƆKÈRE!
LEAD:
ONE
MAN
NO
CHOP!
CROWD:
EVERYBODY
FOR
CHOP!
LEAD:
FUGU
TEAM!
CROWD:
RESET
ƆKÈRE!
[VERSE 2 — UNITY, RECONCILIATION & INCLUSION] The
Fugu
Team
says
bring
us
together,
The
Fugu
Team
says
bring
us
together,
Heal
the
wounds
and
end
the
divide.
Nobody
should
become
a
stranger
In
the
party
they
sacrificed
to
build.
Bring
reconciliation,
Bring
tolerance
and
respect.
Let
every
activist
know
That
their
sacrifice
we
won't
forget.
No
activist
should
be
abandoned,
No
hardworking
member
forgotten.
Whether
you
supported
A
or
B,
After
the
contest—
we
are
NDC!
Ɔkère
needs
every
hand,
Ɔkère
needs
every
voice.
One
family,
one
umbrella,
Together
we
rise
again!

[VERSE 3 — RESET ƆKÈRE] Reset
Ɔkère!
Restore
the
dignity!
Put
the
constituency
On
a
stronger
footing!
Where
there
is
division—
CROWD:
BRING
UNITY!
Where
there
is
bitterness—
CROWD:
BRING
RECONCILIATION!

feel
excluded—
CROWD:

Where

reaches
only
a
few—
CROWD:
OPEN
THE
DOOR
FOR
EVERYBODY!
The
era
of
working
against
Our
chosen
parliamentary
candidates
must
end!
The
era
of
undermining
our
own
party
Must
become
history!
NDC
against
NDC?
CROWD:
NO

Working

opponents
against

own?
CROWD:
NO

Greed
and
selfishness?
CROWD:
NO

One
man
grabbing
everything?
CROWD:
NO

ALL:

NO
CHOP!
EVERYBODY

CHOP!
[BRIDGE — DRUMS BUILD, HORNS ANSWER] This
is
bigger
than
one
person!
This
is
about
Ɔkère!
Chairman
to
the
executives,
Everybody
has
a
role!
Like
a
strong
Fugu
cloth,
Every
thread
must
hold.
Pull
the
threads
apart,
And
you
weaken
the
cloth.
Bring
every
thread
together—
And
nobody
can
tear
us
apart!
