Song Overview:
“Another Story” is a politically charged track where Burna Boy teams up with Ghanaian rapper M.anifest to deliver a bold critique of Nigeria’s colonial history, corruption, and failed leadership.
Lyrical Themes:
- Colonial deception: The intro (narrated by Jide Olanrewaju) explains how the British colonized Nigeria purely for profit, not to unite people.
- Government failure: Burna Boy addresses how post-independence governments have betrayed the people, leaving them with suffering, poverty, and unfulfilled promises.
- Ignorance and apathy: He criticizes how many Nigerians remain unaware or indifferent to their oppression.
- M.anifest’s verse: The Ghanaian MC delivers a sharp verse with pan-African commentary, poetic flow, and historical insight.
