BI3RIM (Pain) | Wisdom Konlaa’s Tribute to Fallen Friends and a Call to Reflect on Life
Music has always been a powerful vessel for memory, grief and truth. In BI3RIM (Pain) (Tribute To My Fallen Friends), Wisdom Konlaa transforms personal loss into a moving expression of remembrance and spiritual reflection. Through honest lyrics and deep emotion, he honours departed friends while reminding listeners of the fragility of life and the certainty of eternity.
This blog post reflects on the message and themes behind Wisdom Konlaa’s lyrics and why they speak strongly to the human and Christian experience.
When Grief Finds a Voice Through Wisdom Konlaa
In the opening verse, Wisdom Konlaa introduces a painful reality. January 2025 arrives with devastating news that shakes both his heart and the gospel fraternity in Northern Ghana. The loss of Eyram is not presented as distant information but as a deeply personal wound.
He recalls shared ministry responsibilities, future plans and personal conversations that death abruptly silenced. References to weddings, long term ministry visions and collective service show that when one life ends, many destinies are affected.
Celebrating Lives That Served With Purpose
Wisdom Konlaa uses the lyrics to honour Eyram as a rare soul committed to ministry and brotherhood. He is remembered as someone who stood with others faithfully and served without seeking recognition.
The mention of the crucifix gifted to Gideon Suque, soaked with tears, symbolises how faith and grief often walk together. For Wisdom Konlaa, this loss is both spiritual and emotional, rooted in shared service to God.
Compounded Grief and the Reality of Mortality
As the song progresses, Wisdom Konlaa reveals that the pain did not stop with one loss. February brings another blow with the passing of Mukasa. Shock, disbelief and open tears follow, showing how repeated grief can overwhelm even the strongest friendships.
Later, he reflects on the death of Syme King David. A man full of life one day becomes silent the next. Through these moments, Wisdom Konlaa highlights a sobering truth. Life is uncertain and no one is promised tomorrow.
This echoes the biblical truth in James chapter 4 verse 14, which reminds us that life is like a vapour that appears briefly and then disappears.
A Clear Message to the Living
Beyond mourning, Wisdom Konlaa delivers a warning filled with wisdom. The burial of the dead is a lesson for those still alive. Life should not be lived to impress people whose approval fades but to honour God who remains eternal.
This message aligns with Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse 13, which teaches that the whole duty of humanity is to fear God and keep His commandments.
Gone but Forever Remembered
Though the song carries deep sorrow, Wisdom Konlaa does not end in hopelessness. He expresses faith in eternal life, picturing his fallen friends joining the host of angels singing hallelujah.
Eyram, Mukasa, Syme King David and other departed loved ones are remembered not only with tears but with faith. Their lives become motivation for those still on earth to keep pushing, keep believing and keep serving God faithfully.
BI3RIM Pain stands as both a musical memorial and a spiritual mirror. Through this tribute, Wisdom Konlaa invites listeners to reflect on their lives, their faith and their readiness before God.
The song challenges everyone with a timeless question. If today were the last day, would our lives truly point people to God.

Lyrics of BI3RIM (Pain)
1st Verse
January 2025 a bad news made a strike
It was a very big blow that nearly broke my spine
In the Northern ghana gospel, Eyram was verified.
Playing roles in all events, who’s here to testify?
What happened to all the plans you told me was a surprice ?
Twinnie, You left a beautiful lady waiting for you vs down the aisle.
How come you never considered how we will feel inside?
Our hearts are bleeding, a void created, who’s there to occupy?
You came on earth you paid your dues and paid it well.
You stood with all in ministry,bro your type was rare.
The crucifix you gifted Gideon Suque was soaked with tears.
Made plans with you for my decade in ministry now you aren’t here.
Jemda misses you, the Gospel the fraternity misses you.
Wish we had the power to change things but it is time, to Embrase the truth.
Wiz, i miss teasing you, but im glad the Lord is keeping you.
Gone But not forgotten, join the host of angels singing hallelujah
(Chorus)
B3rim B3rim B3rim B3rim mal to
We cannot comprehend this loss But
Fa Ti zangli g3l Nawuni (2x)
2nd Verse
Still couldn’t comprehend in February yet the next news was Mukasa is dead.
A guy we loved his company, quit this earth without a sign out first.
3NITY miss you brotherly, such a life but guy your passing hurts,
Bad experience Frankly , even Yobal couldnt control his tears.
Guy!!!!
November 21st became a sunset for my guy Syme King David
A man filled with life yesterday , became so cold today.
This place not promised, all the struggles we still go leave in pain.
So live your life to please your maker and not a man who fades .
The printing Fraternity in tamale will miss your presence dearly
Still reading our whatsapp convo a week before Your passing
You said my time to blow will come, so that’ll keeping on pushing.
When that time comes Dave give me your usual smile from heaven.
Eyram, mukasa, Bro Dav and all gone souls
we love, but God loves you more
The burial of the dead is a warning to the living.
So get your life right with God first before your day comes.
(Back To Chorus)
