Verse 1 (Maayaa)
Fie biara ne mu nsɛm and half a home takes a toll

Heard the tale before
Cold wars, pointing fingers
Two sides getting told
Nokorɛ deɛ baako
Ain’t that what they say?
Dwene ho, dwene ho
Is there truth in the grey?

Mɛ ka nokore akyerɛ wo me ba, at the start I was stressing
Bɔɔ mpayɛ nyame nyi ngu, I'm learning my lesson
E be the day you drop wey I see you as blessing
Love in my eyes, I'm a dad, looking at my reflection

I know your mummy is messing, up your idea of me
But wo deɛ tie ɛnyɛ hwee
One day you'll grow enough and ago tell you my version
