[Intro]
Yeah...
Macka Dunga Nyame...
From Ghana to the world...
Listen close...
[Chorus]
You ain't gotta like me, still I shine, still I fight,
Worn through all the shadows, now I'm standing in the light,
You ain't gotta like me, don’t need your nod or grin,
God cracked open doors, watch me step in and win.
You ain't gotta like me, I’m just being me,
Eyes fixed on the skyline, breathing wide and free,
You ain't gotta like me, say what you want to say,
I’m blessed, breaking chains, carving out my way.
[Verse 1]
They laughed when I was quiet, said I'd never rise above,
Now they glimpse my silhouette through the haze they can’t shove,
Every crack in my armor holds a story untold,
Night after night praying, gripping faith not letting go.
From dust where silence lingers, hunger whispers in the dark,
Where survival is a language, and scars form the earliest marks,
But now my vision sharpens, clear as morning dew,
Hands unseen carried me through, turning bruises bright and new.
[Pre-Chorus]
Wind tried to bend me, storms could not break me,
This light that I guard, no shade can take it.
[Chorus]
You ain't gotta like me, still I shine, still I fight,
Worn through all the shadows, now I'm standing in the light,
You ain't gotta like me, don’t need your nod or grin,
God cracked open doors, watch me step in and win.
You ain't gotta like me, I’m just being me,
Eyes fixed on the skyline, breathing wide and free,
You ain't gotta like me, say what you want to say,
I’m blessed, breaking chains, carving out my way.
[Verse 2]
Words fly like low thunder, trying to shake my pace,
Counting blessings louder than their voices, steady in this race,
Falling was a teacher, pain a secret gain,
Now I’m rooted in the sunlight, standing taller after rain.
They hoped I’d fold, now they watch the spark grow into flame,
An ember turned wildfire, in my heart it calls my name,
I move not for the crowd, but by the pull of my soul,
Faith wrapped tight around me, winning battles, breaking roles.
[Bridge]
If you love me, thank you - your light a steady thread,
If you hate me, that's fine - some roads are meant to tread
Alone sometimes, carrying a fire no one else can see,
Walking steady, walking true, just the way I’m meant to be.
[Verse 3]
Crowned by quiet dreams, pounding hard inside my chest,
Pressure turned coal to diamond, every trial brought my best,
Through tunnels tight and shadows deep, time’s hands shaped my fate,
God’s rhythm guides each step, the timing never late.
Not chasing empty praises, my lane is all I own,
True hearts hold fast, while the restless roam alone,
When they tell my story, they’ll hear it loud and clear:
Macka Dunga Nyame — breaking through without fear.
[Final Chorus]
You ain't gotta like me, still I shine, still I fight,
Worn through all the shadows, now I'm standing in the light,
You ain't gotta like me, don’t need your nod or grin,
God cracked open doors, watch me step in and win.
You ain't gotta like me, I’m just being me,
Eyes fixed on the skyline, breathing wide and free,
You ain't gotta like me, say what you want to say,
I’m blessed, breaking chains, carving out my way.
[Outro]
Macka Dunga Nyame...
You ain't gotta like me...
God's got me...
That's more than enough.
