“Once we were warriors” Gasmilla said so we have to rise to the occasion
The song begins with a haunting melody, setting the tone for Gasmilla’s powerful lyrics:
“In ancient times, Gas’ were known for admonishing strength and power
We were conquering empires and victorious in battles
How come today we are being disrespected?
We have prioritized our taboos and lost our dignity and pride”

The chorus rings out with a sense of urgency
“Gas we have to rise!
Every action has its own consequences
If it is destroyed, we will all be affected
Therefore we have to rise”
Gasmilla’s impassioned plea is clear, the Ga community must come together and reclaim their strength, pride, and dignity. He emphasizes that every action has consequences and that collective inaction will only lead to further decline.
“Gam3i!” is a rallying cry for the Ga community to awaken and reclaim their heritage. Gasmilla’s powerful lyrics and soaring melody make this song an anthem for a generation. Let us heed the call and rise together to restore the Ga community to its former glory.
