[Verse 1]
Early morning
Tired eyes
Hold-up traffic
Yellow rides
Hustle heavy in this heat
Dust and dreams on every street
But when I cross to Apapa side
Ocean breeze cuts through the grind
Rusty ships
That endless blue
Suddenly
I’m brand new
[Chorus]
Lagos
You’re my struggle
You’re my joy
You break me down
Then you restore
From Apapa waves to crowded lanes
I find my heart inside your pain
I taste the love in every stew
Family tables
Sundays too
Lagos city
Crazy
Loud and true
Still I’m in love with you
[Verse 2]
Spice so strong
It makes me cry
Laughing hard
I still take a bite
Mama’s cooking
Cousins close
Pass the plate
We do the most
Market women call my name
They remember
I’m the same
Little boy who used to run
Now I’m grown and still I’m stunned
[Chorus]
Lagos
You’re my struggle
You’re my joy
You break me down
Then you restore
From Apapa waves to crowded lanes
I find my heart inside your pain
I taste the love in every stew
Family tables
Sundays too
Lagos city
Crazy
Loud and true
Still I’m in love with you
