Lyric written below

Verse 1

My only friend and I set out to hustle. 

There’s nowhere we have not toiled around (to hustle).

But life remains unchanged.

Still, we’re grateful for what we have.

 

Good news came—my friends are travelling abroad

We shouted with joy and thanked our Lord

 

He said he can’t wait to share this news with his mother

That he needs to take this news home. 

Then I Later got a call that my friend had an accident

We rushed to wake my friend up

But he’s not responding

My only friend has lost his life

He has lost His

life. 

 

And I’m crying

Misa Misa Misa Misa Misa Misa

Life has taken its toll on me

Life has taken its toll on me

 

Life has taken its toll on me

It’s taken its toll

 

And I’m crying

Misa Misa Misa Misa Misa Misa

Life has taken its toll on me

Life has taken its toll on me

 

Life has taken its toll on me

It’s taken its toll

 Verse 2

It has rained, and I came out to start my farming. 

Before the break of dawn, I’m already on my way

But God tested us with drought

How do you pay your debts when you have nothing to eat? 

 Verse 3

I equipped myself with Quranic knowledge to praise my Lord

But human beings rather love my voice

I’ve been saving little by little

Now I have two houses

 

My Neighbour  and I were all smiling

Not knowing the love was just in the face, not in the heart

Then calamity struck, and they pointed at my house,

Saying my house must be burnt  

Now the house is burnt.

The truth is coming out that I’m innocent, but they have already ruined my reputation. 

I want revenge but they beg me to be patient. 

Now I’m patient, but where will my children sleep?

 

And I’m crying:

Misa Misa Misa Misa Misa Misa

Life has taken its toll on me.

Life has taken its toll on me.

 

Life has taken its toll on me.

It’s taken its toll.

 

And I’m crying:

Misa Misa Misa Misa Misa Misa

Life has taken its toll on me.

Life has taken its toll on me.

 

Life has taken its toll

It’s taken its toll

 

Life has taken its toll on me

Everybody knows how much I have suffered in Sakasaka

Life has worn me out 

Life has taken its toll on me

It has taken its toll on me
