In Tolani's song Liar, the singer is calling out their partner for lying about their actions and whereabouts. The lyrics suggest that the partner has cheated on the singer and is trying to cover it up with lies. The singer expresses their frustration with the partner's deceitful behavior and makes it clear that they do not want to continue the relationship. The chorus emphasizes the point that the partner is a "fucking liar," and accuses them of using their "sugar lips for hire."
The second verse includes a conversation with the partner where they deny their wrongdoing and try to convince the singer that they mean nothing to them. However, the singer sees through the lies and calls the partner out once again. The song ends with a celebratory tone, as the singer claps for themselves and recognizes their worth. The repetition of the opening lines and the inclusion of Nigerian slang such as "swalalala" and "dondi" add a personal touch to the song and make it relatable to a wider audience.
Overall, Liar is a powerful song that speaks to the experience of being lied to and betrayed in a relationship. Tolani's soulful voice and the catchy beat make it a memorable and impactful piece of music.
