You come this world with empty hand
You go leave am the same way, understand
The mansion wey you build, e fit outlive you
The car wey you buy, e go stay after you don go
Security dey guard wetin you no fit carry
We dey chase things wey no dey follow us to cemetery
Omo, see irony
We kill ourselves for things wey go kill we
Life is funny oh
We come with nothing, we go with nothing
Your tomorrow dey wait oh
Na only your impact go remain standing
No be the money, no be the title
Na wetin you do when nobody dey look
Life is funny
We carry nothing
The billionaire and beggar, same soil
Death no dey check your account, e no loyal
Power, connection, degree certificate
All of am useless for the final gate
We fight even when body don tire
We fight even when soul don expire
But tell me, wetin you go leave behind?
Kindness or wickedness for people mind?
Life is funny oh
We come with nothing, we go with nothing
Your tomorrow dey wait oh
Na only your impact go remain standing
No be the wealth, no be the fame
Na how many hearts you touch, not shame
Life is funny
We carry nothing
How many lives you lift?
How many souls you give gift?
Love no dey occupy space for grave
But na the only thing wey fit save
Your name after you don wave
Chai
Life is funny oh
We come with nothing, we go with nothing
Your tomorrow dey wait oh
Na only your impact go remain standing
No be what you own, na what you did
No be the applause, na the seed you plant as kid
Life is funny
We carry nothing
Life is funny —
not because it is meaningless,
but because we often
misunderstand its meaning
Hmm, ko si wahala
Make we live well
Make we love well
Tomorrow dey wait
