In “Someway” Ko-Jo Cue gives a glimpse into his childhood and the community he grew up in. He also takes a swipe at people living a fake life and seeking to please strangers instead of taking care of their people.

Chasing something with the best vroom

Got a cousin in Jail who coulda been Ronaldo
Got a cousin who's dead who could've been Nana Addo
But the streets claim lives bro
Used to think only way to make it out was to change time zones
Or stab another brother for his iPhone
Or hit the cafe on my skype zone
Biibi mpo se nka me nkɔ nkɔ gye sikaduro
But the pen crazy and me kita flow
So now I'm in a rap game with late ends
To to m'ani a all I see is fake friends
Broke rappers in the club just dey spray tens
