Tobe Nwigwe - EWU Lyrics






Useless goat (oou)
I'm not impressed (yeah)
With anything that you people are doing (look)

Two things my mama warned me never to do was steal or get dropped, yup
My partnas got it out the mud so they rock bands like Slipknot
Maybe Kid Rock, either way it go, they sure they gettin' guap, why?
Because they dropped up out of school and rock some jewels that cover what tuition costs, oou
Yup, I know that it's sad but everybody tryin' to fill a void
Hell even me, I tried to blow the doughdy with my wodie, all I got was paranoid
That was back when I was kinda chubby, hung with wildcats, no Kentucky
I've crashed too many beats in a row for you to think I'm gettin' lucky
Can't you see the flow is God given, boppers see that he got God in him
So they frequently slide in my DMs and offer raw kitten
I don't trip, it ain't temptin', we both been prayin' from a distance
Well I pray for 'em, they prey on me, we just pray a lil' different, oou
Hail Mary, full of grace, rain blessings down over me
DK took his own life, I truly hope there's a heaven for a G
Where you don't need weapons for the peace, only intercession for the streets
'Cus every song on the radio sound like they got depression on repeat, oou

Ewu, ewu, I'm the ewu joh (useless goat)
Ewu, ewu, I'm the ewu joh (look at)
They no impress me how they talk, I'm the ewu joh (I'm not impressed)
They no impress me how they talk, I'm the ewu joh (I'm not impressed)

Oou, or maybe it's me, maybe big Tob done grown old
This that can't stop, won't stop, B.I.G, P. Diddy Combs flow
I bridge connections like a phone pole, apply the pressure like a foam roll
These fake rappers only flip birds on TV, that's stone cold
Oou, and they shootin' artificial Ks
Where I'm from they would pull up with tools and hop out on a car like you called triple A, oou
Yeah, why me, Lord, why me?
I don't know why I crash every beat, I just do it like Nike
Fat made me hit my knee, boppers tryin' to kick it like tai chi
But there's no Ben E. King over here, can't no thotties stand by me
Oou, Google the song
Ben E. King wrote Stand By Me, move it along

Ewu, ewu, I'm the ewu joh (useless goat)
Ewu, ewu, I'm the ewu joh (look at)
They no impress me how they talk, I'm the ewu joh (I'm not impressed)
They no impress me how they talk, I'm the ewu joh (I'm not impressed)

Oou, oou, oou, oou

Not an absolutist or Confucius, I just hear a beat and infuse it with Psalms
I assume the reason they fool with the music is because it's influenced by God, oou
Yeah, every bar I spit is gospel
Low key extra holy, pentecostal, tryin' to cop a rollie and a castle
Give it to the homie on the block so he don't have to show me that he hustle
All that doughdy solely for that knot, bro, that's the pedagogy of the not so
Yeah, fortunate
The force is with those who don't hang around like ornaments
I bring the spirit like an organist, fake rappers fold like contortionist
Prolly 'cus they all my subordinates, tryin' to build up enough support against
Mumble rap

Nah I'm lyin'
I like mumble rap too

  37. J.... G....

    Every song on the radio sound like they got depression on repeat. SO TRUE! Man if Tobe, Bizzle, Jered Sanders and Mouthpiece did a record, it would be So righteous!

  38. A.... A....

    Dear white people brought me here🖐 🤚 🔥

  39. J.... L....

    Just heard your song on dear white people. recognized it immediately. Keep killing it man.

  40. O.... G....

    What does the dancer in the black represent?

    O.... G....

    A traditional african masquerade.

    O.... G....

    @Lord Jude It appears to be akin to the representations of animal-gods or devils that I've seen in pagan, traditional African worship. No?

    O.... G....

    @OKay Gee Representations of african deities.They come out to dance during traditional festival days.

    O.... G....

    @Lord Jude Thank you for confirming that for me. The use of this type of imagery by an artist with a Judeo-Christian background and professed follower of the faith is unsettling.

    O.... G....

    OKay Gee it’s unsettling because you fail to grasp The Oldest Scriptures were found on, and the Scriptures take place on The Afrikan Tectonic Plate, not Europe. The Messiah, born on The Afrikan Tectonic Plate In “Bethlehem”. The Entire Old Testament as you call it, is about Totems and Ritual Worship and a “Great God” with Ancestors mentioned and invoked over and over Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Goat meat eating and blood sacrifice discussed over and over, Lions discussed over and over, multiple wives, etc. Where is this as a common life and diet in Europe? Nowhere. The “New Testament” takes place on the Afrikan Tectonic Plate. Look up Hebrew in Ibo Language. The Scriptures literally have nothing to do with religion, let alone European invented religions. None of The Scriptures showcase Europe or it’s people. ZERO. Not once is their skin, eye color or hair color mentioned when the European tradition of describing themselves in their literature is long documented. The “New Testament” is a Greek translation from a Hebrew Manuscript they cannot find mysteriously. One day you might wake up. Look up The Russian Icons and look up Modern Hebrew, whatever that is, and nothing near original when compared to the original Afro-asiatic Hebrew of the Testament Manuscripts. Toby knows who he is and we thank Yah.

  41. S.... G....

    I play the shit out of this song.

  42. E.... A....

    Ah!!!!!! I AM IMPRESSED🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 i bu ewu n'ezie.... God bless you sir

  43. k.... s....

    You know, I feel like Tobe is what Jay Electronica failed to be.


    I am not saying one borrows from another or vice versa, they are too different in spirit and style. I'm talking about how the two exploit their potentials.


    What I mean is that they both have (or had) really great potential, became known more widely in their late 20's, were (are) creative, and there is a metaphysical element to the way they both approach their craft.


    Jay was good but in hindsight I feel that there was a narcissism and inconsistency to him that took away from any 'realness' he displayed as an artist.


    On the other hand, Tobe feels genuine and is skillfully capitalizing on his opportunities and strengths by the looks of things. I want Tobe and his crew to succeed so I may be biased in saying that he will go waaay further than Jay did (if he hasn't already). More importantly he will go much much further than where he is right now.


    I don't know them personally, nor do I understand the industry enough to make a definitive forecast. I am clearly a keyboard warrior up to not much so take it as an opinion an not a flame or hate to either artist.


    Much Love to Tobe and his crew for what they do and achieve.

  44. A.... R....
