Stuck In The Middle

[Verse 1]
Body dey this place
Mind don go astray
Everybody dey move
Me
I just dey stay
Phone full of plans
Heart no get road map
I dey laugh with them
But inside I dey trap
[Chorus]
I dey stuck in the middle
No front
No back
I just dey
All my prayers like riddle
Echo for my head every day
If you see me dey smile
Na little
Plenty tori wey I no fit say
I dey stuck in the middle
Make somebody show me way
[Verse 2]
Mama dey ask me
"How far your life now?"
I just change the topic
Turn gist to play now
Friends dey chase big dream
Jet set
They dey fly
Me I dey count ceiling
Dey ask my God why
[Chorus]
I dey stuck in the middle
No front
No back
I just dey
All my prayers like riddle
Echo for my head every day
If you see me dey smile
Na little
Plenty tori wey I no fit say
I dey stuck in the middle
Make somebody show me way
[Bridge]
Sometimes e be like say
Ground dey pull me down (eh)
But small small light go stay
Somewhere for this town
If I fit breathe one more day
Maybe I go find my sound (yeah)
Till the dawn go break
I go stand my ground
[Chorus]
I dey stuck in the middle
No front
No back
I just dey
All my prayers like riddle
Echo for my head every day
If you see me dey smile
Na little
Plenty tori wey I no fit say
I dey stuck in the middle
Make somebody show me way

Slow, airy afrobeats groove around 90 BPM, soft log drums and round sub, gentle guitar licks and warm Rhodes. Male vocals with rich Nigerian tone, laid-back delivery, close-mic and intimate. Light shakers and rim clicks in the verses; chorus adds soft pads, subtle backing harmonies and a slightly wider stereo field. Overall a calm, floating feel, letting the vocal vulnerability sit on top of the rhythm., slow, rich, afrobeats
