Текст песни: Money Is King + перевод

If a man have money today, people do not care if he have kokobe.

If a man have money today, people do not care if he have kokobe.

He can commit murder and get off free, and live in the governor’s company.

But if you are poor, people will tell you «Shoo», and a dog is better than you.

If you have money to buy in a store, the boss will shake your hand at the door.

He will call the clerk to take down everything: whiskey, cloth, earring and

daimond ring.

He will send them to your home on a motor bike. You can pay the bills whenever

you like.

And not a soul will ask you a thing. They know very well that money is king.

A man with a collar and tie and waist-coat, ask the Chinee-man to trust him

after accra and float.

«Me no trust-am», bawl out the Chinee-man, «You better move-am from me frying

pan.

You college man, me no know A B C. You want-am accra give-am penny.»

And the worms start to jump in the man’s belly, and he cry out, «A dog is better than me!»

A dog can walk about and take up bone, fowl head, stale bread, fish-tail and

pone.

It it’s a good breed and not too wild, some people will take it and mind as a

child.

But when a hungry man goes out to beg, they will set a bull-dog behind his leg.

Twenty policemen will arest him, too. You see where a dog is better than you.

If you have money and things going nice, any woman would call you honey and

spice.

But if you can’t give her a dress or a new pair of shoes, she’ll say she have

no uses for you.

When you try to caress her, she will tell you «Stop! I can’t carry love in the

grocery shop.»

And most of you will agree that it’s true, if you haven’t money,

dog is better than you.
