AFRITUNES WEEK #73 - LONELY AT THE TOP COVER

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!
