Life Dey Sweet Sotey

Intro

Life dey sweet sotey... omo, life dey pain sotey

Chale, abeg listen

Verse 1

Dey wake up every morning, sun dey shine bright

But yesterday tears still wet my eye

Jollof rice dey sweet, but salt go make am bitter

So this be life na — the honey and the thorns dey live together

I see the blessings, I count the wins

But the losses dem, dem cut me deep within

One day I dey laugh loud with my brothers

Next day wahala come, scatter everything sotey

Chorus

Life dey sweet and life dey pain

Same time, same day, same rain

One hand holding joy, one hand holding sorrow

Today we celebrate, tomorrow we no know

Life dey sweet sotey, but life dey hurt sotey

Chale, that na the game — no be lies, na truth

Life dey sweet sotey, but life dey hurt sotey

But still we rise, we rise, we rise

Verse 2

I got my people close, I got my health

But poverty knock my door, steal my wealth

I taste success, I taste the glory

But failure come and rewrite my story

Abesin na, the beauty and the beast dey dance

In the same moment, same circumstance

E choke! The contradictions dem, dem dey make sense

When you understand that life na balance

Chorus

Life dey sweet and life dey pain

Same time, same day, same rain

One hand holding joy, one hand holding sorrow

Today we celebrate, tomorrow we no know

Life dey sweet sotey, but life dey hurt sotey

Chale, that na the game — no be lies, na truth

Life dey sweet sotey, but life dey hurt sotey

But still we rise, we rise, we rise

Outro

Life dey sweet sotey... life dey pain sotey

That na the real game, chale

We just dey navigate, day by day

Life dey sweet sotey
