Faces of Life-1
Sarkodie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I haven′t never really find a place that I called home
Bedi. Bedi
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
Kemernya... Kermernya.
I apologize once again am not that enough (so what else)
And it's not as if I mended ur heart and meant exactly 2 break it
Now (now)
It′s just a fault, (what)
Don't mean no harm (Yes)
If my life is for rent (I feel so good)
And I don't want to buy (convict music)
I desire nothing more than I get (what)
Ha-ha
There′s nothing I ve that′s truly mine.
So what else (Bedi)
Listen, listen
Aah
Mbre aa me maame nyim me
Nnka oyi me gu aa
Se anka me nnwom monti
Nti medaso me tse ase aa
Medi ayeyie ne ndase
B3 soa ye Nyankopon ya
Fres3 obia nim daakye
Wonim nie ebeto wo koraa
Menipa se di3 Wo nya wue aa
B) bra pa Na w'eyin akye
Ma obi ndi wo ho yaw

Nsem no dooso
Na e′mom no, how u face it
Ebi se Sarkodie woa hiti pii Wo daso twi Matrix
Nanso bekye3 nye bo)fre
U start from the basics
And tradition goes on
It's been there for ages
Saananaa wiase tse3
Na saa na etse3 bepim nde br3m
Nti bribi na ebekyer w′adwen
Bisa panyin bi na)bekyerem
Nti mendwendwen pii na nsa tsia nye pe

If my life is for rent (ha-ha-eh)
And I don't want to buy (forever young)
I desire nothing more than I get (to all my fans)
There's nothing I ve that′s truly mine
Bedi, Yeah
(Praise, let′s go)
There's time to play
There′s time pray
Yours go come today.
Mine no come buh hey
Still am not afraid
Big ups to man like Sway
It takes time before my pains go wipe away
But medaso meti nkwam
Me mogya di afrosani
Menim se menim nnguase da
Life is not about the money
Buh every second counts
And dats the most important
Obedi menni daama, but me wo self assurance
Mbre a me fam me maame yem
Na Nyankopon mpo nim me
Oto ngosra no ma ebi ka me
Asem to me oyi me, me sre no mbowa ofii me
Enokora from beginning, odasoaa tsie m'asem
Even at my flophy season
And now it′s time to pay back
(Allahukbar)
Nti menko bosom bia ho,
(Me Nyankopon ne woa)
M'adesoa eda me so yinaa mabr3 gye na mempe biom
Wo ho nti menam anadwo daasuom (Aaah)
If my life is for rent (feel good)
And I don′t want to buy (buh it's alright)...
I desire nothing more than I get (what)...
There's nothing I ve that′s truly mine...
If my life is for rent (no)...
And I don′t want to buy (I think u get the best of what u want)...
And I desire nothing more than I get (my life is good)...
There's nothing I ve that′s truly mine.

If my life is for rent.
And I don't want to buy (u gotta listen to the song)...




And I desire nothing more than I get (Kermernya)...
There′s nothing I ve that's truly mine...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sarkodie's song Faces of Life-1 reveal the lack of a sense of belonging and stability in the rapper's life. He hasn't found a place to call home, and he doesn't stay in one place long enough to make it feel like one. Sarkodie admits that he is not enough to make someone's heart whole and that he is not trying to hurt anyone. He feels that his life is for rent, and he doesn't want to buy it because he desires nothing more than he already has. He also acknowledges that nothing is truly his.


Sarkodie's lyrics in Faces of Life-1 highlight the transitory nature of his life, where he is constantly moving and searching for his place in the world, but has yet to find it. The song also suggests a deeper search for meaning and purpose in life, which may be elusive despite his success as a rap artist. The lyrics are introspective and speak to the universal human experience of searching for a sense of belonging and purpose.

People may say they worship God, but not everyone truly follows His ways. Each person faces different challenges, but Sarkodie makes music that brings people together. His music is like the movie 'Matrix'
