Dabadougou Roots

(uh) Yeah…

Dabadougou Mafélé…

Never forget where I came from…

Grew up where the lights were dim, yeah

But dreams burned brighter than misery within

Counted every day, every single prayer

Praying for a way out, breathing different air

Saw my brothers fall for street's dark tales

I chose my own path, breakin' all the fails

Head hard, village heart in my chest, yo

Even far away, their courage helps me grow

Had nothing, but we made it through (skrrt)

Real smiles shinin' when skies were blue

That's what forged me, built me from the ground

Dabadougou in my veins, hear the sound (no cap)

Dabadougou Mafélé… yeah, that's where I'm from

Even when I'm far, memory overcome

Shine bright for the ones who believe

Make my village proud, what I wanna achieve (let's go)

Dabadougou Mafélé… that's my strong base

Journey shows its hard face

Return with respect, head held high

Success in my projects, touchin' the sky

Saw struggle change men, twist their soul

I decided different, took new control

Not to flee, but to lift my people higher

Show the world we can win, set the game on fire

They don't know our sleepless nights, the grind

Our hidden dreams, what we left behind

Today I'm movin' fearless, walkin' tall (yeah)

Got the whole village standin' in my call

Ain't doin' this for likes or just for views

For the OGs who believed, paid their dues

For the young ones who wanna reach the top

I'll be the proof, ain't no way we're gonna stop

If one day I make it, become somebody grand

I'll never forget the journey, the helping hand

Everything I've built (sheesh)

Comes from Dabadougou, hear my spirit sing

Dabadougou Mafélé… yeah, that's where I'm from

Never forget my roots, 'til the kingdom come.
