Gyae hye, nanom akpetɛshie - stop smoking and drink akpeteshie
Apio deɛ aha yaa, apio deɛ yɛnhye - apio is right here, as for apio, we don't smoke it
Wopɛ nso a hye, na gyae akpeteshie - If you also like do smoke, and stop drinking akpeteshie
Ɛnfa mmɔ mu, ɛnyɛ saa ɛbɛ ha wo - you don't add together, or else it will worry you.

right off the bat, you think Samini is just blowing rot, nonfa, nyaa or talking some nonsense. He shouldn't be encouraging drinking or smoking, and this generated some controversy when the song came out. In today's era of drinking and smoking being cool, Ghanaian youth absolutely loved the song.

Anyway, the song talks about minding your own business, doing one thing and no the other. The name of the song, 'di wo line mu' means 'stay in your line' which can be paraphrased as 'do what you want to do and leave us to do what we want to do'.
