[INTRO ]
(Soft whispered background vocals)
LAGX...
Future no dey far...
But why e dey run from me?
(Deep breath)
HOOK (Afro )
I cry for my room when nobody dey see
Smile for the world but my soul dey bleed
God, na wetin I do? why road hard for me?
I know say I be GOAT... but why I no dey free?
One big shot… na all I need
One big chance… make somebody believe
One right hand… wey go pull me from deep
Before this pain turn me to memory
(Background harmony)
Oluwa... hear me now
Mo ti ṣiṣẹ́... o ti rẹ̀ mi now
[VERSE 1 (Trap / Hardcore flow)]
Every night no sleep, man dey battle with ideas
Mind full of gold but my pocket full of fears
Vision too big, dem say na wetin dey kill us
“Dream smaller,” dem talk… but my spirit no hear
Since when I small, struggle know my surname
Helping everybody, still nobody carry my pain
People I trusted turn around use my name
Smile for my face, for my back dem light flame
Dem think say I lazy
Dem think say I no sabi plan
If dem fit enter my head
Dem go fear wetin I carry for hand
I get blueprint to change game
I fit build things wey go save souls
But talent dey suffocate
When opportunity lock door
[PRE-CHORUS (Emotional switch, guitar + harmonies)]
Sometimes I cry for dark
Talk to myself for room
Ask if help go ever come
Or destiny don postpone?..
Church no answer
Mosque no answer
Even shrine no fit show me road
Na only my tears understand
This silent war wey I dey hold
[HOOK]
I cry for my room when nobody dey see
Smile for the world but my soul dey bleed
God, na wetin I do? why road hard for me?
I know say I be GOAT... but why I no dey free?.
One big shot… na all I need
One big chance… make somebody believe
One right hand… wey go pull me from deep
Before this pain turn me to memory
[VERSE 2 (Hardcore rap – aggressive)]
Age no dey wait
Pressure dey choke me
See younger boys
Dem dey flex wetin I pray for quietly.
Ideas full everywhere
Dem dey shout for my brain
But money no dey to build am
Na wetin dey drive me insane..
“No one is coming to save you”
Na wetin dem tell me when I ask
But how one soldier wan carry whole war
Without weapon, without mask?.
Betrayal don harden my chest
Rejection don sharpen my skin
But deep down I still get that fire
Still believe say I fit win..
Somebody just say
“LAGX!…, I believe”
That one sentence fit heal
Years wey pain don thief
[BRIDGE (Soft)]
Oluwa ma jẹ́ kí n ṣubú
Mo mọ̀ pé ọjọ́ mi ń bọ
Bó ti pẹ́ tó… mi ò ní dákẹ́.
Destiny calling me
Even when darkness covering me
Fate dey whisper softly
“Your pain na part of the story”
[FINAL HOOK (Bigger harmonies + saxophone)]
I cry for my room when nobody dey see
Smile for the world but my soul dey bleed
God, na wetin I do? why road hard for me?
I know say I be GOAT... I still believe..
One big shot… na all I need
One big chance… make somebody believe
One right hand… wey go pull me from deep
Till my story becomes victory.
[OUTRO (Spoken, cinematic)]
If you dey fight too
No give up.
Sometimes destiny go test your lung
Before e let u breathe
LAGX..
