From the opening track, “Mac Tontoh,” Cue takes us on a journey through his experiences in the GH Rap game, paying homage to those who’ve helped him along the way. The title, a nod to the legendary Osibisa trumpeter, is a metaphor for Cue’s unapologetic self-promotion.

Michael almost 2 years ago
You left basketball
You wanted to get away from the media
They had no more challenges
In less than 2 years
You’re back

Verse 1
Te sɛ DB bi birthday, boy no yɛ gifted
Wura booth mu a me nkye
Ɛtɔ da bi a me ntwerɛ
Killеd everyone on thе hit list
Only one I miss is, my missus
Married in real life, rap is my mistress
Boys dey in my mentions
Saying I should spit it
Like Akan will be the biggest if you really dey feel it
Last year I almost quit it
Thought I was done with this stress
But if I went and did it
I would have gone with regrets
Shoutouts to the mystics
They know the flow's insane
No matter how hard we go
We no dey grow, it's in vain
Den we Figga say e be shows ne pay
But shows npay
Check the figures bro, it shows we slave
No be how good the video dey if it shows we paid
Me ka sɛ mɛ ka a bro ano go close today
It's more marketing than talent ma gee
E no be wrong but
We need some Balance Pappy
Joe e be hardly say
You go flow from your heart
Wey you go grow on the chart
Efit to stress fellas, make den dey go on a rant
But that no be my style
They compare me to a nigga like that no be my child
Hmmm, its foul
Feels like yestee nor they were calling us new school
Na yɛ ni hwee joe
Just limelinx and YouTube
Then we won show the world you fit make it by doing you too
That's why I'm happy Blacko’s doing all the things we couldn't do
I swear e hit me as I hear Soja ein message
Music the only thing real men that boy gets it
Music the only thing real men that boy gets it
Music the only thing real men that boy

Last nigga that said shit on Twitter

His lil goof ass froze like a mannequin
(Blow my own horn Mac Tontoh)
I’m really like that, 3ny3 kasa
Verse 2 (Ko-Jo Cue)
I am everything the hood made me
The Industry is too shady e fit ruin babies
And abeg, don't ask if me and EL be cool lady
I no even see Peewee in a month or two maybe
I don't even speak to Klu lately
I feel like Half you niggas owe your style to Klu Baby
I feel like half you new menners is Klu babies
This is the house Skillions built
You're just rooms baby
You niggas are everything Little Shaker made you
You niggas don't deserve to be with Rukie in the same room
You niggas no fit tie bra Kevin Beats ein play shoes
And no I no dey diss
Ajust dey say truth
Ripped cyphers with Looney and Kwasi Trigga
Wanzam that's my Jigga
I know you get the picture
Forgete leader of the new school
Been here for a decade
I'm more like sensei
Middle child but a legend with the pen game
Went from Twitter rapper to KFC billboards and Lauryn Hill tours
Passport lef 3 pages afor fill more
Catching mad flights with niggas who show me real love
These are the moments I will kill for
We grow, we blessed
With no regrets
This show be stress
Nobody mow we, den dey owe we sef
The flow be first
Dope pass, me kyɛ me toe tags
For menners with no raps
Who won dethrone we chef
You rat race running
Bad days coming
Lame, I see your name and press backspace dummy
These Cats stay funny
Can't take from me
Ena I'm as dangerous as last days dwane, mtcheew
Rap nyɛ me dɛ biom
I'm sure you dey see
When you're better than everybody
The game no dey be
Chale ɛyɛ a ɛyɛ aniha, Ayɛ sɛ Fifa
Obiara nim bɔ until sɛ ɔbɛfa pad akita
Killer ani abere koraa no ente sɛ Jack agyiga
Ɛna wo ntumi nfa paul kyɛ nfa nhyɛ peter
You bore sef, you need more reps to mess with me bra
It’s all strength, a core set, me shape mo mo nyinaa
I promise I'll quit after Volume 4
Maybe den go love me when I'm gone
Maybe den go love me when I'm gone
Maybe den go love me when I'm
