Verse 1
Na Kambia in born, na Freetown in grow,
Na war tɛm, but in spirit neva go low.
Dis na life story, e lek Salone yone,
Strɔŋ mind, patiencɛ, we all don know.
Book na in hand, hope na in chest,
Na Salone pikin we always wan best.
Pre-Chorus
From Fourah Bay go ɔda kontri dem,
E carry Salone wit sense an gem.

Maybe na yu, wi don de wait fɔ yu.
Verse 2

Na forty-plus kontri e don serve dem same.

Show di yut dem bette way.

APC wan strong, but e don divide,
Too much loss, too much pride.
Salone need sense, no empty shout,
Lidah we go unite, no scatter about.
Verse 4
Fresh face, no corruption stain,
Chance fɔ reset, fɔ start again.
Global mind but local root,
Sense fɔ plan, no empty pursuit.
Education, economy, solution get shape,
No jus promise, but real escape.
Final Chorus
Dr. Ibrahim Bangura, di moment don cam,
Salone hungry fɔ lidah dem we calm.
Peace na di land, hope fɔ di yut,
Unity an progress, built pan truth.
If APC serious fɔ change an renewal,
Di choice don clear, na nyu generation arrival.
Outro
Salone de watch, history de knock,
Road to 2028, check di clock.
Man we fix system, lift di yut dem high,
Maybe na in name dis song de cry.
