Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The morning fights me hard
On the road to Lagos
Fuel line, long line
Still I rise with Lagos
Buses push and sway
Voices crowd the heat
But I see your smile
In every face I meet
[Pre-Chorus]
And Apapa shining
Through the dust and smoke
Heavy days still pass
But your heart stays woke
[Chorus]
Lagos, hold me close
Lagos, hold me close
I feel your pain, your glow
Lagos, hold me close
Lagos, hold me close
You break me then you make me whole
[Verse 2]
I love the pepper soup
The rice on family plates
Laughter in the yard
And love that never waits
Drums in the weekend air
Auntie on the phone
Children on the steps
I never feel alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And Apapa shining
Through the dust and smoke
Heavy days still pass
But your heart stays woke
[Chorus]
Lagos, hold me close
Lagos, hold me close
I feel your pain, your glow
Lagos, hold me close
Lagos, hold me close
You break me then you make me whole
[Bridge]
When the load is too much
When my feet get tired
You call me back again
You keep my spirit fired
Same sun, same storm
Still I choose this place
With my people near
I can meet my grace
[Chorus]
Lagos, hold me close
Lagos, hold me close
I feel your pain, your glow
Lagos, hold me close
Lagos, hold me close
You break me then you make me whole

Style
Pop with bright mid-tempo four-on-the-floor pulse and syncopated hand percussion; verse rides tight drum-guitar stabs and low synth plucks, pre-chorus strips to snapped claps and filtered pads, chorus opens with stacked harmony lifts and a chantable topline. Lead vocal stays intimate and close-mic in verses, doubled on the hook with airy ad-libs and group shouts. Add risers into each chorus, a short palm-lead turnaround after verse two, and a final lift with wider vocals and glossy, punchy mix., pop
