Day na break again
Gbanna man neh and stry girl neh on lay run again
Welcome to Liberia
Where man neh can act like women
And woman neh can act like men
Where politicians neh can come to us when lay want our votes
But lay can giray after we give them our votes
Welcome to Liberia
This time na, social media is what we live for
Taking sell pay on things we know we can't pay for
This is Liberia too
Where everyone lives two by two
Without much thought about what their neighbor is going through
But rather thinks "If everybody na geh time for him den ayy na my beyney too".
Welcome to Liberia
Lay call lay place "Sweet Land of Liberty"
But actually we na geh freedom and we living in poverty
When we talk lay call us noisy minority
Saying so because they are the majority
This too is Liberia
Where teachers say " You either comply or complain"
And you comply, cause you know if you fail, lay oldma will give you sufficient pain
Welcome to Mama Liberia
Lay country geh plenty resources neh
But lay politicians and pen robbers finish calay neh
Welcome to Mama LIB
All lay pruh and big sis them wearing long sleeve
Thinking that it'll give them money even when they are asleep
Where children neh can leave la houses of comfort
Just to end up in lay street with so much discomfort
Fathers neglect their children at childhood
Then reappear in their lives at adulthood
Welcome to Liberia
Where even though we have so many reasons to be sad
We still light up our faces with smiles
And where when some brabi and big sis neh see lay thing
They'll smile and say lay girl know lay thing
Welcome...This too is Liberia!
