Lyrics Beautiful Gowns - Poetra Asantewa

It's a beautiful country depending on where you look
Is it oxford street, east legon or airport hills
Or the restaurants where the price of a bottle of water
Can buy a plate of gob3
Is it right around the block with them good roads
Potholes are so few it's easy to memorize
And one month's rent is so so steep that your jaw drops
Or the places where the food's not that great
But we eat anyway, and we slide in our seats
And we go click click freeze and pose for the camera

You ever read an article about your country?
Or seen an Instagram caption about your city
In words so sweet it rivals honey
Framed in a shot so eccentric
Even Wes Anderson might take notes
The warpedness of it
As though you are looking at yourself in the mirror
And the person staring back looks so remarkably different
You just know the mirror has been altered
You see others being well housed in your own home
And you can't help feeling unloved
As if unhappiness was invented just for you
Someone tell me
How do you empty yourself of your country?

It's a beautiful country depending on who you are
Member of the upper-class society
Where rent is a foreign concept
Doesn't exist in your vocabulary
You've got Ghana flag on your dp
Nobody is more Ghanaian than you are
It's all because your relative is in government
You're only in Ghana during December and family occasions
All you do is spending money
Ei osikani, dollar to cedi enti y3 fr3 wo borga
