“Commando” by Joshua Baraka, featuring Tiwa Savage, is a steadfast, mid-tempo Afro-fusion record centered on tireless grind, navigating betrayal, and protecting one’s inner peace.
Interweaving English, Nigerian Pidgin, and Luganda, Baraka and Savage reflect on weathering deceitful associations and difficult seasons, opening the door to fresh blessings, demanding authentic allegiance, and standing firm like an experienced veteran.
Joshua Baraka & Tiwa Savage – Commando Lyrics
[Intro/Chorus: Joshua Baraka]
Life of a commando (Commando)
Blessings knocking on my door (My door)
If you play with me I give you one two (one two)
If you love me then you better come through
Life of a commando ohh naa naa naa
Blessings knocking on my door Baraka, Baraka, yea yea
If you play with me I give you one two (oh no)
If you love me then you better come through
[Joshua Baraka’s Verse]
Money never come easy
So I do a little bit of this and that
Hustle in the city till I’m dizzy
So I buy my baby likkle this and that
Wanna have dollar in the bag
So I never choose
Tell ’em give me this and that
In the back of Escaladizzy
With the mandem
Talking ’bout the galdem whine
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve had to fight for love way too many times
Yeye
Mikwano minji jandeka and they left me to die
Ooh
Nsese emilidu minji nga njagala kukaba
But I keep on giving my all take it day at a time, ehhh
