Trotro Blues

Today no tie
Friday wear
The way the sun dey shine dier
I dey fear
I make lucky
Station no shedda far
Dey still dey do the road?
Accra Accra!
I for dey guard
Last time I nearly tear ma trou
Sometimes the metal for the chair
Dey poke out
E no kyerr bia the car inside make mma
Dem say serious traffic dey
For Kwame Nkrumah
We dey move very slow
I no break ma fast
Chale
End of the month
A ka mi last
Mate
Wo ho pure water toh bi ma mi
Ei
See this girl
Tsoobi mami
She den me dey the same job
But she dey get down different bus stop
Then walk
First
Then I tink say she dey shy
But I ask
She say
E just be exercise

Close job leff kwik I dey fear the line
Too much standing for a single spine
Next car start load, chale window seat
Or ma shadda go f)) 4m d ridiculous heat
At least today fine girl sit ma bodi
E name be Abigail Dzibordi
We dey look out the window at the hawkers
Day dreaming deferred mate start hot us
I 4 kai take ma change dis guy b azaa
D other day e chop som guy e 4 ghana
Ma knees & bottos start dey feel pain
The dust & the truck fumes be insane
Dey feel like this routine soon go kill me oh
Hai hai
Kakai on the radio
Land crusier with police escort overtake
Only magic fit save we
Giv us a Blake
