Every year we have bitter kola
Every year we have African walnut
Every year they're selling obi in the market
My life is better
Every year we have bitter kola
Every year we have African walnut
Every year they're selling obi in the market
My life is better
 
If they mention who has built a brand-new house
I’m one of them
If they mention who has bought a new fancy big car
I’m one of them
If they mention who has had good fortune
I’m one of them
If they mention who has had good fortune
I’m one of them
 
All the things that the eyes have seen
The mouth cannot tell
The mouth cannot tell
A child that’s stubborn
Use madness to teach him
All the things that the eyes have seen
I say, the mouth cannot talk/divulge fully
If they are stubborn, use madness to deal with them
A person will always be what he/she wants to be
 
Debtor, please don’t kill
If I show my face up
They will quickly put their hands up
You see that I have, you see that I have…
Good fortune, oh oh, good fortune1
Look, if I show my face, and show my business
They will focus too hard
I’m one of them
 
Every year we have bitter kola
Every year we have African walnut
Every year they're selling obi in the market
My life is better
Every year we have bitter kola
Every year we have African walnut
Every year they're selling obi in the market
My life is better
 
If they mention who has built a brand-new house
I’m one of them
If they mention who has bought a new fancy big car

Me too, me too, I’m one of them
Me too, me too, I’m one of them
You too, you too, you’re one of them
You too, you too, you’re one of them
 
I’m, I’m, I’m one
I’m, I’m, I’m one
I’m, I’m, I’m one
I’m, I’m, I’m one
I’m, I’m, I’m one
I’m one of them
 
Every year we shave Bitter kola
Every year we have African Walnut
Every year we see/have Kola nut for sale
My life is better
