I've got what I've got
You've got what you've got
(So) keep your red wine I'll sip my sobolo
Keep your slim girl I love my obolo
Everyone knows that life is hard
That's why we working hard, and
We don't want to live with this sorrow
All we want is a better tomorrow
I've got what I've got
You've got what you've got
(So) keep your red wine I'll sip my sobolo
Keep your slim girl I love my obolo
Everyone knows that life is hard
That's why we working hard, and
We don't want to live with this sorrow
All we want is a better tomorrow
Just like the parable in the Bible
Where the master gave all talents to his servants
Don't sit there wishing you had mine
Who knows you got five and I only have one?
Work with what you've have
Work with what you've got
Love the life you live
Live the life you love
If you concentrate on the things you do not have
You might never ever have enough
I've got what I've got
You've got what you've got
(So) keep your red wine I'll sip my sobolo
Keep your slim girl I love my obolo
Everyone knows that life is hard
That's why we working hard, and
We don't want to live with this sorrow
All we want is a better tomorrow
I've got what I've got
You've got what you've got
(So) keep your red wine I'll sip my sobolo
Keep your slim girl I like my obolo
Everyone knows that life is hard
That's why we working hard
We don't want to live with this sorrow
All we want is a better tomorrow
The Browns are fighting again
They've waited too long for the cry of a baby
They have it all but all they pray for
Is the gift of a baby
My friend Atongo lives in the Zongo
All he owns is an old Busanga Volvo
He's got nine kids, he's still expecting
But he can barely provide for his family
The rich dey struggle, the poor dey hustle
Oh my paddy no where easy
No where easy oh
Work with what you've have
Work with what you've got
Love the life you live
Live the life you love
If you concentrate on the things you do not have
You might never ever have enough
I've got what I've got
You've got what you've got
(So) keep your red wine I'll sip my sobolo
Keep your slim girl I love my obolo
Everyone knows that life is hard
That's why we working hard, and
We don't want to live with this sorrow
All we want is a better tomorrow
I've got what I've got
You've got what you've got
(So) keep your red wine I'll sip my sobolo
Keep your slim girl I love my obolo
Everyone knows that life is hard
That's why we working hard, and
We don't want to live with this sorrow
All we want is a better tomorrow
