Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tout zétwal anlè menm larèl-la
Limiè-a ka montré nou chimen nou
Pa ni haza, yein ki rendez-vous
Temps ka aidé nou oublié
Anba la lin clè, nou ka kité'y filé
Grif nan tèt, tèt nan lè
Ki si swa yo fè, kis si swa yo di
Sa ki fo, sé tous sa nou pé fè
Sa ki fo, sé an tous sa nou ka kwè
Sa ki fo, sé an lov an doucè
Sa ki fo, gadé douvan zyé ouvè
Sa ki fo, sé an lov'
Sa ki fo, sé an doucè
Sa ki fo, sé an lov'
Sa ki fo
Gimme gimme gimme you give me love, I know, I know
You gimme love, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
Hustle in fadama
Singing hallelujah
Adey my corner what they up in
Disco in mossama
Abi you wan power
You wan escape wahala
The people for the top
They not dey listen dont bother
Tick tock, tick tock
Time we for dey wake up
Wake dey alert chale reason
Clear your eye top
Enobe what we vote for
See we for dey focus
Tricky tricky politician
Trying to kill my mind off
Hossana nyame save us
From Accra to Lagos
On and off electric begging sugar from my neighbours
Confusion and chaos
Corruption in the papers
Obia nyame obia so your huuhu nogo break us
Gimme some love, all I need, all I need
I needa gimme some love, all I need, all I need
You gimme love, I know, I know
You gimme love, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
You gimme love, I know, I know
You gimme love, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
