[Intro – Spoken Word – Calm Afrobeat Bounce]
(Low tone, poetic)
Yo Recording Academy…
This be a letter from the son of the soil
From mud homes to microphones
From streetlights to stage lights
We dey show face now — no be by luck, na by fire
---
[Hook – Melodic Afro-rap – Chantable]
🎶
I want a Grammy like I love my Granny (eh-eh)
From trenches, we want all the Fendi (ahh-yeah)
No memes this time, na real legacy (hmm)
Recording Academy, come hear me clearly (yeahhh)
We’re giants, naughty by nature (fire!)
Culture heavy like a hundred scriptures
Blessings loud, we no fit whisper
From Africa with love — no filter (no filter!)
🎶 (Repeat Hook)
---
[Verse 1 – Rap with Afro Swing]
I dey drop bars like elders for shrine
They laugh at us first, now they toast with wine
From okada scars to designer cars
Every verse na my passport goin' past stars
See, I no beg for spotlight
I work for this — every night, no nightlife
From Ajegunle to Hollywood dreams
Now we dey press buttons, no dey press jeans
I sabi pain, I sabi patience
When you broke, even love dey on vacation
But I carry cross like Simon of Cyrene
Now I dey shine like Saint Augustine
🎤 (Adlib: “Holy Bars!”)
E no be grace if you no fall first
But I rise like Afrobeat from dust
Na time make the statue, not hype
Now I dey talk my truth with mic
---
[Bridge – Spoken Word – Slow Afrobeat Bounce]
No memes this time —
Let the flowers come with respect
Let the honor no be token, make it reflect
I want Grammy the same way I love my Granny
Pure. Deep. Deserved. From my heart
---
[Hook – Melodic Afro-Rap – Add choir harmony]
🎶
I want a Grammy like I love my Granny (eh-eh)
From trenches, we want all the Fendi (ahh-yeah)
No memes this time, na real legacy (hmm)
Recording Academy, come hear me clearly (yeahhh)
We’re giants, naughty by nature (fire!)
Culture heavy like a hundred scriptures
Blessings loud, we no fit whisper
From Africa with love — no filter
🎶 (Repeat with passion)
---
[Verse 2 – Rap – Global Flow]
This na for Burna, Tems, Fela…
All the legends wey spark the umbrella
If the West no wan show love first
We go force door open, na thunder burst!
We no dey beg for validation
Our sound don build a whole generation
From pidgin lyrics to world-class charts
Every line I spit dey carry my heart
🎤 (Adlib: “African Giant Energy!”)
See my bloodline royal, voice ancestral
So I no dey form, I dey move intentional
Give me mic, I give the world inspiration
This Grammy go heal a whole nation
---
[Outro – Spoken Word – Fade out]
Recording Academy…
This no be just for me
Na for every ghetto child wey believe
For the ones wey dey rehearse for backyard
For the ones wey dey spit bars for hope
We dey come... and we no go stop
Until our names dey there —
Gold plated, sky painted,
Forever documented.
🎤 (Adlib: “We’re here!” “From Africa — with legacy!”)
