Between Two Worlds

[Intro]
Whispers of two worlds, caught in the middle
Lost in translation, trying to find my role

[Verse 1]
At home, the air is thick with palm butter, spicy breeze
Pepper soup simmering, filling every moment with ease
Koloqua melodies in my voice, my roots run deep
In my heart, a story only my ancestors keep

[Pre-Chorus]
But outside these walls, I wear a different face
Walking corridors, searching for my place
From Liberian nights to Minnesota days
Balancing the colors, caught in a haze

[Chorus]
Growing up, a bridge between two lives
African soul, American eyes
Trying to belong, trying to be seen
In this space where I am caught in between

[Verse 2]
In school, they see a different shade of me
Standard English vocabulary, trying to be free
Not confused, just fluent in my duality
Learning to be both, my true identity

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step I take, I claim a piece
Of my heritage, of my peace
From the motherland to foreign streets
Living both worlds, incomplete but deep

[Chorus]
Growing up, a bridge between two lives
African soul, American eyes
Trying to belong, trying to be seen
In this space where I am caught in between

[Bridge]
Neither here nor there, but somewhere in between
A tapestry woven with hopes and dreams
Holding on to my culture, embracing my flow
In a world that’s asking me to choose just one, oh

[Outro]
So I stand tall, with pride in my heart
All my identities, a beautiful art
Home in my soul, connected and free
Living the harmony of me

[End]
