Sarkodie’s latest single, the masses, is gradually moving up the charts. The multiple award winner in this song talks about Ghana, the problems bedevilling the nation and the collective attitude of Ghanaians to national development.<\/p>\n

He takes a strong stance against corruption, dumsor and bad leadership.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”jpxg0MX5QOFeuSCHUjgrqDFGDgbKRW0Z”]Sarkodie is among a group of Ghanaian celebrities who have voiced out the frustrations about the ongoing national energy crisis.<\/p>\n

The campaign, which was started by actress Yvonne Nelson, is calling on the government of Ghana to find a solution to the crisis immediately.<\/p>\n

Using the hashtag #dumsormuststop, they have sent out various messages to the government to act now to save Ghanaians from hardship.<\/p>\n

Comedian DKB has started mobilizing his colleagues for a mass demonstration.<\/p>\n

Read the lyrics of Sarkodie’s ‘The Masses’\u00a0below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bidiponbidi<\/em><\/p>\n

I have thought about this for long. The Ghanaian nation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Are we going forward or backwards?<\/em><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go, listen!<\/em><\/p>\n

I have said it, I wish to reiterate it. And may God give me the heart to say it respectfully, so that they do not send people to shoot me at dawn. But I don\u2019t have a choice since I dislike what is going on in town.<\/em><\/p>\n

First of all, this goes out to the youth. The youth, because the level we have reached, if we don\u2019t think deep but rather lose hope he might not survive it. By the time we will realize this, we might have been dead fowl.<\/em><\/p>\n

First of all, does the government ensure your security; think about you or rather uses your money to build his personal house? What do you intend to do with the degree that you have acquired from university? Will you take it abroad to sweep or go to Techiman?<\/em><\/p>\n

The hypocritical attitude of us Africans. When they dislike you that means that you rather speak the truth. We are suffering due to our foremothers\u2019 breast milk. They do not teach any sense in school, give us me a break.<\/em>
\n Our leaders must learn to speak the truth. So can\u2019t you see how Ghanaians are suffering? We produce oil, yet we continue to beg. I see a broken tooth in your mouth, yet you insist it is a mere diastema. They are killing us, yet we are too scared to say.<\/em><\/p>\n

So you want us to vote for you, so that you can blow dust into our eyes with your car? You have killed us for far too long, enough! Do not come and trouble our wounds. If you have no help to offer to the sick, do not cause harm to his medication.<\/em><\/p>\n

Which nation are we living in, that everything is turning stupid? We all bear witness that things are not going well, but we have remained dump. Lights are going off leading to collapsing of businesses. Clearly this is white wicked mindset which has become too big for all to say.<\/em><\/p>\n

All they know is extravagant spending. What is hidden in their mind is personal share from deals they sign. Keep on doing this, God is watching you all. The self-seeking employee rather gets paid more than the self-sacrificing one. And when you try to mention it they go like \u2018hey\u2019. You can\u2019t even share your views. If this nation was a cloth, by now it is torn and in dirty state.<\/em><\/p>\n

Laws do not work so people use their mind to do their own thing.The Ashantis will vote for Akufo Addo, the Northners for Mahama. This practice makes me feel sorry. His plan is to vote for someone known to him, but not the person who will help him. My brothers and sisters let us all try and be wise. Mr. Honourable, the nation\u2019s money is lodged at one place. We need the likes of Ken Agyapong and Kweku Baako. I do not want to hear political party matters, let\u2019s try and put things in order.<\/em><\/p>\n

The numerous loans we have acquired await future generations, why? Where did we go wrong? Upon all the sweat we go through, we get paid less. Toll fee alone costs one cedi. And when you complain about it, they will tell you one cedi is no money. The economy has collapsed like six feet hole at the cemetery.<\/em><\/p>\n

Just this dawn, Dumsor has led to the burning of somebody\u2019s one bedroom house. You people have generators in houses. If you see us stupid, we have heard you. You people continue to send your children abroad while we keep on remaining in villages. The fool will definitely be wise one day.<\/em><\/p>\n
