Ghana i/ˈɡɑːnə/ is a country located in West Africa. It is bordered by Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) to the west, Burkina Faso to the north, Togo to the east, and the Gulf of Guinea to the south. The word Ghana means "Warrior King" and is derived from the ancient Ghana Empire.
Ghana was inhabited in pre-colonial times by a number of ancient predominantly Akan kingdoms, including the inland Ashanti Empire, the Akwamu, the Akyem, the Bonoman, the Denkyira, and the Fante among others. Non-Akan states created by the Ga also existed as did states by the Dagomba. Prior to contact with Europeans trade between the Akan and various African states flourished due to Akan's gold wealth. Trade with European states began after contact with the Portuguese in the 15th century, and the British established the Gold Coast Crown colony in 1874 over parts but not all of the country.
The Gold Coast achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1957, becoming the First sub-Saharan African nation to do so from European Colonialism. The name Ghana was chosen for the new nation to reflect the ancient Empire of Ghana, which once extended throughout much of west Africa.

I ran into some girls who knew you today
They tried to tell me some things
But I know there's always two sides to a story
I don't give a damn about what others say
They just can't see you gettin' close to me
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story
I don't give a damn about what others say
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (First verse)
I don't understand why it's happening
And I'm tryin' to ignore the things I hear
People saying things all up in my ear
And I'm wondering is it the truth I fear
You don't need to explain, 'cause baby, I don't care
Whatever happened then was then, then was then
All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me
Whatever was then is gone, we can't change it now
I don't give a damn about what others say (Oh)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me (Close to me, yeah)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story
(There's always two sides to astory, mmm, hmm)
I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm, no)
They just don't want you gettin' close to me
(They don't want you gettin' close to me, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (Mmm, hmm)
Met some others girls and they started tellin' me
How you used to carry on back then with them
And they tried to tell me things
Like you ain't changed one bit
But they ain't there to see the things I see
You don't need to explain, I just want you to know
It starts from now and not back then, then was then
All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me
Whatever was did, it's gone, it's history
I don't give a damn about what others say
(I don't give a damn)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me
(See you gettin' close)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story
(There's always two sides to a story)
I don't give a damn about what others say (Yes, it is)
They just don't want you gettin' close to me
(Want you gettin' close)
I don't really care about what happened before me
(Baby, can you tell me one thing)
There's always two sides to a story (Can we go)
On and on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
I don't give a damn about what others say (No)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me
