Tashi ni wɔna sane gbaa
Ina noko ni inako dang
Efee mi naakpɛ

Bra Nortey ni jɛ bukom nɔɔ
Etee abulokyi ni wɔ nuu ehe dɔɔng

Mina lɛ yɛ Osu gbɛ

(Ibi lɛ)

Blah Nortey te oyɔɔ tɛɛng?
My bɔda ina bo eky3

E kɛɛ "Excuse me? Excuse me do I know you?"

Kwɛ chale, kaashwɛ kwraa

Sani okai mi

"Oh, you must be Kwashi...hello."

Chale botwe be in gbɛko na
In bi Norte mini e fyɔɔ yɛ Ga
E kɛɛ mi

"I'm here on business. Can't wait to leave this..."

Well my brcda, wɔ tee shia
Abaa hoo kpakpo shitɔ kɛ kenam

Ekwɛ mi tamɔ kooloo ko ni enako eko dang

Ja Nyugmɔ e chake bo kwraa

Chorus
Mini hewo?
Ni maaba sani o fe?
Nɛgbɛ o yɔɔh?
Ni namɔ kɛ bo te?

Listen my people for I tell you true
It seems some of us know not what we do
We leave our culture
To flirt with something "better"
(So you can)
Trade your mama for a foreign suit
But I never saw a tree
That grow without it's roots
The truth it won't lie
And so my friend I ask you "why?"

Mini hewo?
