Lagos City Blues ft. Bidi Lyrics

The Lagos pace is a virtue, humility Na wash

It's the harsh reality cuz the system is Unjust

Now you've understood, kindly get Your morals all flushed

A diamond is a stone only till it gets Cuts

Up in Lagos we hustle for the Crumbs off the table

Cuz government no send us and Their way go delay you

I pledge to Nigeria to be faithful

But she dont love me back, see i'm Just another victim of betrayal

It's dog eat dog, where the law's Dissolved

When you're playing by the book, Tell me your reward

The rich is getting richer and poor's Devoured

Then dem tell you say na God, nigga All be fraud

Listen, its just a Lagos thing o, we all Be suspect

So you know who did it when they Say the track lost breath

You know we make em bounce like We stacking dud cheques

The whole Egypt Eighty gotta blow my Trumpet

And it dont stop

Just a minute I was gone Now I'm Back nice

Told the heavens put me on soon as The hand strike

Good groove and vibe and men I'm Alright

I see these fake guys

Something that I'm not like Premium blend, You no fit get am at Pump price

Clean your lens, You need to capture This on sight

Jungle rules apply

For where I wanna dey it's do or die, Lose your mind

It's too easy, Hold your pride

Gats compose your soul

They collecting it like two-H at the toll

Sub-Sahara still you go feel the cold

But still defiant

This is where juju mixes with science

These are visions too raw you can't Refine it

This is unapologetically African

This is sokoto 1 pm in a cardigan

This is after work third mainland and We jamming man

Us deeply engrained

This is your cool born from our pain

Way before Eze had gone to school

Or Eddie sat without a silver spoon

This is like medicine for the soul

Each sentence is like a dose

To rep is deeper than melanin

Fell in, and found the gold

Embedded but then I woke

Throne ready and seen

Jewels meant for a king

Cool, left in between

A rock and hard place

Throw the dice and show the cards, Soon we go find grace… In Gidi

Flashy lights and bumpy rides in Traffic

The innocence won't last a night in These street

Now you're in Lagos heyyy

Welcome to Lagos heyyyy

E ko o ni baje
