Save yourself Brother save yourself Sister save yourself Everybody save yourself Everybody save yourself Firm grip, gorilla feet  90s memories, bittersweet  Symphony, rappers too phony  Shucking and jiving on the TV I’m not with that gangsta malarkey  Free world, do what you do by all means Dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s On my p’s and q’s Komla MC Higher than a kite or satellite What dem a do? What dem a try? No fright night Homeboy spit right or quit like This beat here is what we quite like Get in line to shake your behind He's inclined to wine to unwind Every man has his price Chale don’t you go crossing that line  This one’s preserved in brine If you hear this prayer gimme a sign This is Mr Hyde Dr Jeckyll? He died from all the pride  Allies don’t tell lies Unless it’s behind your back… oh hi Organic flow,  lo-fi Music dey online make you go buy Quality over quantity Don’t relate to your lyrical fallacy We ain't part of no scene There ain't another MC like me I don’t get gully with the toolie Not preferred method for yours truly Two heads are better than one, two  Save yourself Brother save yourself Sister save yourself Everybody save yourself Everybody save yourself Sister save yourself Brother save yourself Everybody save yourself Everybody save yourself  Who doesn't have issues in this world? You?  Know we all the same inside true Truth, talk about some real life issues  Nothing better put the mic down dude  Pro flow on the megaphone  With more horror horoscopes With spirits from the Gold Coast Feel the vibe, feel the Holy Ghost Created my own lane You copy each other you all sound the same It’s a real shame Good Lord Sugar (ei!), no buga buga (ei!)  No German Luger (ei!), no Freddy Krueger (ei!)  This one is harder than a mother If your mama is the type I had in Accra There's other dimensions to the picture  Flavour of what we bring ya Another brother shot  And then they found themselves in the cop shop In there I don’t think there's pork chops  Do the sing and dance, do the foxtrot  My sentiments are echoed  Carry my rhyme book, wheelbarrow  Yep, wordplay that's my ammo  Sub-zero flow it be too cold  The pro who flow so The bros who don’t know The foes who so slow Karate not Tae Bo Different strokes for different folks If you’re in self-destruct mode Instead of giving you hope There's always somebody giving you rope Save yourself Brother save yourself Sister save yourself Everybody save yourself Everybody save yourself Sister save yourself Brother save yourself Everybody save yourself Everybody save yourself I say Brother save yourself Sister save yourself Everybody save yourself Everybody save yourself

about

Komla MC is part of a global movement taking Drill in new directions. On Save Yourself he uses his unique Ghanaian flow—sprinkled with Pidgin dialect—to maximum effect, underpinned by a melodious hook rooted in African Gospel. There’s no violence here, only playful battle raps & social commentary; a refreshing blend of humour & consciousness backed by equally refreshing production.

“The title is self-explanatory. We’re living in troubled times. There is no saviour coming to rescue you. Do what you need to do to save yourselves people! On a lighter note, I’m spitting my battle raps and
letting the other rappers know what’s up.“
— Komla MC
