So wen una die, wisdom go follow una die too.
3 But I get sense as yu get too.
E nor get how yu take betta pass mi,
bikos evribody know evritin wey yu dey tok.
4 Even my friends dey laf mi naw;
dem dey laf, but I know sey I nor do any bad tin.
I bilive sey God go ansa my prayers.
5 Yu nor get trobol,
but yu still dey laf mi;
pesin wey won fall before,

6 But tif and pipol wey nor dey fear God dey live for peace,
even doh na God hand dem dey.
