Chale, Gary move your feet
Feel the rhythm in the street
Wake up early with the sun in my eyes
Looking at the blue of the Accra skies
I put on my best kente, feeling so grand
The finest gentleman in all of the land
Everything is working, the energy is right
I'm ready for the joy of this beautiful night
I call up my brothers, we ready to roam
We don't need a map, we’re making it home
Chop life today, let the worries all fade
See the foundation that we have laid
Eii, dance to the rhythm, hear the horn blow
We keep it steady, we keep it in the flow
Oyiwa, let the palm-wine pour
We looking for happiness, nothing more
Life is a journey, wonim? It's a race
But I take it easy at my own steady pace
No need for drama, no need for the stress
I'm counting my blessings, I’m feeling the best
From the busy markets to the Independence Square
There’s magic in the water and the heat in the air
We work for the paper, we work for the goal
But keeping the fire deep in our soul
Chop life today, let the worries all fade
See the foundation that we have laid
Eii, dance to the rhythm, hear the horn blow
We keep it steady, we keep it in the flow
Oyiwa, let the palm-wine pour
We looking for happiness, nothing more
Ah ah, look at the way that we move
Find your rhythm, find your own groove
Don’t let nobody bring you down, no way
We take the sunshine, we light up the day
So raise up your glass to the life that we choose
We're winning the game, yeah we never will lose
With family around and the music so sweet
We’re dancing our cares away on the street
Yoo, keep your head up and look at the stars
We’re healing the world and we’re healing the scars
It's Highlife living, it's the way that we play
Every single minute of every single day
Chop life today, let the worries all fade
See the foundation that we have laid
Eii, dance to the rhythm, hear the horn blow
We keep it steady, we keep it in the flow
Oyiwa, let the palm-wine pour
We looking for happiness, nothing more
Chop life today, yeah, it's our time
Listen to the guitar, listen to the chime
Chale, keep it going
Yeah, we chop life today.
