Hello biz. Can someone tell me as if I were a retarded child(i

Most broadly, broadly speaking, yes.

A lien gives them a partial/full right in property for the amount you owe them to ensure they get something if you don't pay. If you don't pay, they generally have the right to the property.

When you pay, they give you a lien waiver and extinguish their right to the property.

There's a lot of nuance/contracting, though, so read what you're signing.

Thanks for the response.

I am a baby business and my client actually asked for a lien waiver after he paid the final invoice which never happened to me before.

This guy was a pleasure to work with and paid on time so I guess it's kind of a super safe receipt only?

Yep! He's probably doing that just to keep his paperwork current and have documentation (for taxes, his bank, etc.) in the future. If he paid you in full and he gave you a lien beforehand, I see no reason not to give him a waiver and call it a day.
