Hello Afritunes. This would be my first time participating in a contest and I look forward to more.
For this week, I decided to do a cover of one of the most trending Afro songs by Asake titled Lonely At The Top. Asake is a famous Nigerian Artist known for his style and rigour in the afro industry. Why I like this song though?
One message this song conveys is that success can not be achieved in groups. You would need to face your calling and overcome obstacles on your own. You grow alone. It tells that people who want something out of life, who genuinely go after their dreams may have to do so alone.
The one thing we can never deny is that going after what we want or what we think is right might leave us isolated. We may have dreams that appear riduculous and nonsensical to a normal person. Unless you're determined and resolved, going after that dream may never be possible.
There are people who would talk, laugh and
mock you for believing in you. There would be pointing, jeers and humiliation from those who are faithless and prefer to spread misery. Why I like this song (so much as to make my own cover) is how it relates to me. I have lost friends and even people I called family in my pursuit for growth. So, when I listen to this song, I don't live in the present. I am transported
to the future where I get to bring my dreams (call them) into reality.
There are days when I'm tired. Fighting all the time and holding on with all my might. Some people say not letting go hurts more but I call BS! The day I let go and give in is the day I die!

Girl! You were on fire! Ah ah, see the gestures wey u use dey engage this song.
The truth is that as I saw the song title, I said I must listen in because I had put this song on repeat recently!
In simple words, you killed it!
It amazes me when I see people who can easily master the lyrics of songs with ease. It appears as further maths to me hahahaha.
Great work @deraaa !

Now I know one of the reasons you chose the song was because your name was in it. I know I'm right 😅😅😇
You put a lot of vibes into your presentation dear that hasn't left my mind. Great work!
I know that sooner or later, those friends and family that left you will come begging when they see your results. Keep believing & pusing. God bless you.
