I went, indeed, Lord. Look at the men, Lord, oh. Lord, we thank you, you hear.
Oh Mahama, look at people's children, Ghanaians' children.
They have released them from prison, look at the women, ah, oh. My Lord, look,
hey, oh. Oh, Mahama, may God bless you, you hear. Ah Kwabena,
Lord I thank you. Kwabena! Kwabena!
Oh Kwabena, they have released Kwabena, they have released Kwabena.
Kwabena is included, and this man is also included, Lord I thank you.
He also went down. Lord I thank you. Yes. Oh, my Lord,
they have become weak, they have become weak.
Weakness has taken you all, my Lord. They have become weak.
They have become weak, they
all are in their weak state. Oh, they have
become weak. My Lord. Oh, Lord.
Maybe he too is not one of us.
Oh, so you traveled all this way to look for money only to be caught,
even a polythene bag, the person is carrying it away. Oh Kwabena.
