[HOOK – mélodique, chanté]
Yɛ sika anaa? Yɛ din anaa?
Yɛ dɔ anaa yɛ fame anaa?
What are we chasing every day?
Is it money or meaning we pray?

Yɛ sika anaa? Yɛ kra anaa?
Yɛ nokware anaa yɛ drama anaa?
Tell me now, wo ka kyerɛ me
Ɛhe na yɛrekɔ yi?

[VERSE 1]
Street no ka sɛ “sika first”
But me tirim ka sɛ “truth first”
Wo hunu car, wo hunu chain
But wo nhu the hidden pain

Wo nua no ayɛ fraud
Just to look like a god
But ɔkra no da fam
Na ne din rebrɛ fam

Mama kɔ asɔre da biara
Ɔka sɛ “nyame hwɛ wo bra”
But city no de temptation
Brɛ mmabun every direction

Quick cash yɛ sweet
But aftertaste bitter
Wo tɔn wo din
For temporary glitter

[PRE-CHORUS – harmony voices]
Ɛnyɛ sika nko ara
Na ɛma onipa yɛ den
Ɛnyɛ fame nko ara
Na ɛma wo tumi ten

Character yɛ investment
Respect yɛ dividend
Wo betumi anya sika
But wo betumi ahwere wo friend

[HOOK]
Yɛ sika anaa? Yɛ din anaa?
Yɛ dɔ anaa yɛ fame anaa?
What are we chasing every day?
Is it money or meaning we pray?

[VERSE 2]
Me hunu boys wɔ UK
Posting pounds every day
But loneliness behind screen
Nobody post that scene

Me hunu girls chasing rich
Changing face, changing pitch
But peace no rentɔ filter
It cannot be edited picture

Wo tumi nya everything
But wo kra kɔ fam slowly
Sika betumi abrɛ wo
If wo werɛ fi who you be

Me pɛ house, me pɛ car
But not at the cost of my star
Integrity yɛ light
Even in darkest night

[BRIDGE – stripped guitars only]
Tell me now…
Yɛ sika anaa?
Yɛ kra anaa?
Yɛ nokware anaa?

Money comes and goes…
But your name stays.

[FINAL HOOK – chœur large]
Yɛ sika anaa? Yɛ din anaa?
Yɛ dɔ anaa yɛ fame anaa?
If tomorrow everything fade
What is the choice we made?
