LYRICS:
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
I have a good name; I have a good name
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy my name
Do you have a good name; do you have a good name?
Then no money, no money, no money, no money, no money should buy your name
I mean what I am saying
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name I mean what I am saying
That no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Do you have your conscience; do you have your conscience?
Then no money, no money, no money, no money, no money should buy your name
I have my conscience; I have my conscience And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy my name
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
I have a good name; I have a good name
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy my name
Do you have a good name, do you have a good name?
Then no money, no money should buy your name
I mean what I am saying
That no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Don’t sell your conscience; don’t sell your conscience
As no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
I am rebuilding my entire word with this as the soundtrack

Good hypnose
Best comment in human history
@@GammaRaie agree
I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I love any help you can give me.
I just found out William Onyeabor died... four whole years later. I feel like I got punched in the gut. RIP to a genius, you were wonderful and have given us all so much joy with your music.
:(
Well shit I am year behind you! Sad news
Me too!!!
Yes, and Victor Uwaifo, too.
A truly unique Individual who led a singular life filled with amazing tunes and truly wacky left turns
Igbo People of Biafra are very proud of you William Onyeabor
The breath of humans is in their bodies,
but a virtuous name will never be blotted out.
Have regard for your name, since it will outlive you
longer than a thousand hoards of gold.
The days of a good life are numbered,
but a good name lasts forever.
Sirach 41.11-13
Dear God is this infectious.
Enjoying it in Cameroon 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲 now.
Recently discovered the song.
How the shit have I only discovered this absolute wizard musician? Why have I not known about William Onyeabor before?
this is so ahead of it's time
Bill\ Hundley big time
I wish my mom was still around she would be flipping her shit and dancing around with her dog lol.
I bet she still dancing, up in the clouds, kicking it hard.
IAN m Your Mum sounds like a great Mum
Nigeria produces the best music. I never get tired of this.
absolutely dope, play this late & watch the reaction, people go crazy!!
This is totally stainless and crosses all borders
. Listening in 2019 from Argentina.
Hearing Nigeriano Onyeabor in south BR. xD
Absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥🤸🏾♂️🚀✨
Nothing tops this.
You tube putting adds in the middle of songs/videos showing just how much respect they have for both the viewers and artists. Chances of me checking out you tube red gone from better than even to zero.
Rest well sir! The world has lost another legend!
Love those synths! Silver and gold.
who knows the name of that specific sound? especially at 00;37
This is so completely wonderful. I love the purity and simplicity and honesty of the lyrics.
Really good, and the músic lyrics still sound so meaningfull :P
It's from the Bible. Proverbs 22:1
@@Quiche.Richards Interesting. Didn't know that, although it's not directly from the bible it just alludes to it.
@@thesprawl2361 yeah, to be fair i was talking about the specific teaching in the Bible about good name being better than silver and gold, not the whole song. The thing is I read mr William Onyeabor became born again so it's no surprise he was inspired by the Word with wonderful lyrics :)
@@Quiche.Richards It's a v religious place
Dope, beautifull, years ahead of everyone's time.
Thank You Growlers for Covering this song
This is amazing, goes to show, always something new to me just waiting in the vaults of history.
PURE GENIUS.
Awesome stuff!
Love this at first hear
i think this song is about being a good person rather than getting money, which is fucking dope. RIP
Such a good message, he's paraphrasing Proverbs 22:1. (A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.) NIV
you think?
yeah those are literally the lyrics, "a good name is better than silver or gold, and no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy your name"
Never heard his music before today......wow R.I.P.
I can't stop listening to this tune…its insane I LOVE IT x
This man is fantastic and unique...

Very good video editing. Kept up to the spirit of the music
Still sounds so fresh, and jamming in 2018 and beyond.

IAN m, if my mum were still around, she would be doing exactly the same. Thanks for giving me that image mate. Truly amazing!

He means what he's saying.
I love that line. I just love the sincerity of his lyrics, even when it doesn't quite sound right, it manages to sound _right._

Please, for the love of everything funky, do whatever you can to secure licensing rights for re-releases of Sir Onyeabor's albums.
i just love grizzly adams and willie onyeabor:)
¨Worthy of 128g vinyl. And while they´re at it press some Ata Kak!

“For the love of everything funky…”

Thanks to you're reply I managed to find this. Again the music is beyond amazing and the same for the work Leo did. Amazing!
thanks heaps for uploading
absolute legend!!
Oneyabor invented LCD Soundsystem 30 years before they showed up.
+MSRPZ As often happens, stuff made earlier is more interesting than what is going on currently. Or is it that good music ages over time and only becomes more awesome in hindsight? Something to ponder.
@@BigBlack81 this will remain better than LCD Soundsystem, even 100 years from now
MSRPZ I have this theory that he pretty much was the start to what we consider techno
@@GammaRaie my uncle use to play this on the turntable all the time in the late 70s. He was so different than other artists of that time.
grt stuff
epic! thank you sir!
Great! Blows me some where good... Some love in the track :D
"Blows me somewhere good" - I love it! I'm gonna start using this phrase. xD

I just found out that he is no longer on this planet, and my heart sunk. I loved this man, He will be truly missed
