Hope Dey Smile

Chai... this life no easy oh

But we go dey alright

From way back when I been dey struggle

Pikin wey born for hustle

Every day na different wahala

But I dey thank Baba

Money no dey, food scarce

But my mama talk say "hold faith"

Wetin I go do? I no fit give up

E choke! But I must stand up

Life dey hard but hope dey smile at me

Once in a while e dey remind me

Say better days go come eventually

I go shine, walahi, just wait and see

Hope dey smile, hope dey smile

E dey carry me go extra mile

Hope dey smile, hope dey smile

Make I no give up, e go dey worthwhile

Sometimes I dey wonder why

Why the journey dey so rough, omo!

But every small blessing wey I see

E dey tell me say I strong enough

No be say the road dey smooth

But I dey move, I dey groove

Even when rain dey fall

Sunshine go come after all

Life dey hard but hope dey smile at me

Once in a while e dey remind me

Say better days go come eventually

I go shine, walahi, just wait and see

Hope dey smile, hope dey smile

E dey carry me go extra mile

Hope dey smile, hope dey smile

Make I no give up, e go dey worthwhile

E go better, I believe am

Hope dey smile... chai!
