Banku

Banku is a Ghanaian dish which is cooked by a proportionate mixture of fermented corn and cassava dough in hot water into a smooth, whitish consistent paste. Served with soup, stew or a pepper sauce with fish. It is mostly preferred by the people of the Southern Regions of Ghana particularly the Ga tribe but also eaten across the other regions in Ghana. Banku is found throughout Ghana, and is one of the staple foods enjoyed by all tribes in the country.

    Just Like A Pill

    by: Pink

    I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me
    I think, I took too much
    I'm cryin' here, what have you done?
    I thought it would be fun
    I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
    I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch
    I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch
    I think I'll get outta here, where I can
    Run just as fast as I can
    To the middle of nowhere
    To the middle of my frustrated fears
    And I swear you're just like a pill
    Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
    You keep makin' me ill
    I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
    This must be a bad trip
    All of the other pills, they were different
    Maybe I should get some help
    I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
    I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch
    I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch
    I think I'll get outta here, where I can
    Run just as fast as I can
    To the middle of nowhere
    To the middle of my frustrated fears
    And I swear you're just like a pill
    Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
    You keep makin' me ill
    Run just as fast as I can
    To the middle of nowhere
    To the middle of my frustrated fears
    And I swear you're just like a pill
