A recurring line in this song is "Chale, she go want more".
Several commenters responded to a question about the meaning of the word "chale". Two commenters wrote that chale is slang for "dude". However, another commenter wrote this: "Chale is a slang for FRIEND not dude. It's Ga word for chale wo te."

I found several Ga language websites that included the word "chale" (also spelled "chalay" and the word or phrase "chale wote" also spelled "chaliwotay". Here's a quote from this website: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8 "Ghana Web":
"Chalay - Friend
Chaliwotay - Rubber slippers. "Wote" in the Ga language means "let's go." Challey is a slang term for pal or buddy. The name "chali wotay" may thus suggest the ease with which one wears the slippers and goes about his or her business, without the hassles of tying shoe laces."

"Chale – friend, buddy, pal
Chale Wote - rubber slippers"
