No, not that one. I am taking about Wanlov's long-awaited debut CD called Green Card. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I have really enjoyed the experience. The album is a masterpiece that has a focus on Ghana, Diasporean issues, Ghanaians abroad, etc. I remember hearing his first single 'Kokonsa' and I immediately realised a fresh new sound then. It has taken Wanlov the Kuborlor about 5 years to work on his LP and it was well worth it. It is a great album for Africans abroad to have.

Hook 2x
We fought to get off the slave yard
Now we fight to get us a green card
Why do we work for this stuff so hard?
How you living and you working grave yard?

Verse 1
Stand for days
At the American consulate
They're running late
Push back yout interview date
So you won't stay
They ask for a bank state
Meant to bring one
Forgot
Now they close gates
Bills ain't paid
Money spent on visa fees
You crying
Landlady standing vis a vis
C'est la vie mon amis
Ask Uncle Kofi
Maybe he's got connections at the embassy
Used to be with this lady fro
