Every morning I wake up,

I dey thank God,

Even though the pocket sometimes dey empty.

I dey search for work,

I dey chase my dream,

But some nights, chale,

the pressure gets plenty.

“Me ba, nya abotare.”

Ɔka sɛ Nyame nnyae obi,

Enti mma w’abam mmmu.

I have seen my friends move ahead,

While I dey wonder when my time go come.

But I no go compare my journey,

’Cause Nyame yɛ ɔkwan biara so.

Chale, I know say life no easy,

Sometimes you pray but the answer dey delay.

Bills dey wait, family dey call,

But you still dey tell yourself,

“I go be okay.” Mehuu nna a na sika nni me kotoku
