Akwaaba
Stuck in a foreign land, Akwasi broni manso
Here they call me a refugee
Not like they said it would be
But I got to survive, megyina me nanso
Trying to make ends meet, I work 9 to 5
Here they scrape the top and give me kanzo
Cos my skin is black, my hair is dark, my eyes is brown
And the kids call me Django
So I fight my way through like Rambo
Sleeping outside in the cold
My freedom is sold
No place dey I go run go
Trying to work hard for the green card
So say chale, I go fit send some cash home
But the life here no be easy
Like we see on the TV
If I go fit go back home ego bii me
But what would I have to show
My hands empty, no no no no
So until then
Me ma wo akwaaba, ofie ne fie
Welcome back home
Welcome home
Me ma wo akwaaba, ofie ne fie
Welcome back home
Welcome home
Me ma wo akwaaba, ofie ne fie
Welcome back home
Welcome home
Sankofa wo ho yi, wo kɔ wakyi a yenkyi
Welcome back home
Welcome Home
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
I'm out here
In the land of the milk and honey
Wonder why I'm still hungry
Everything be about the money
If you no get some then yawa
Which kind wahala be this
My shada tear but this tailor be swift
I pinch myself if I exist
Cos the life here make like iron fist
I thought it was bliss
Got a family back home, wife and kids
So i dey work hard
Get the money send am quick
Sometimes when they call i no dey pick
No be my fault
But my wife thinks I get some chick
Odo asem, I came here searching for a better life
Selling my freedom, hoping for a better price
Fell for the fake image of paradise
Now here I am treading on thin ice
Akwantuo mu nsem
Me de kakraa esie nti me kɔ fie akosi fie
Going back home to my wife Dufie
Na ofie ne fie
Debi debi ɛbɛ yɛ yie
Me ma wo akwaaba, ofie ne fie
Welcome back home
Welcome home
Me ma wo akwaaba, ofie ne fie
Welcome back home
Welcome home
Me ma wo akwaaba, ofie ne fie
Welcome back home
Welcome home
Sankofa wo ho yi, wo kɔ wakyi a yenkyi
Welcome back home
Welcome Home
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Wherever you go
I know you'll find your way back home
And that will be here
I'll be waiting for you
Because I know say
Man for dey hustle for the dollar
And yet I know say
You'll be back to your wife, daughter, mother
Cos you be the Don, I know you got fire
The one wey go help you go reach your desire
Don't give up, even if your mind taya
Know that I got your back here forever
Keep on pushing
Cos we all do what we got to do
And don't worry, we are waiting for you
