Dance Where the Lagos Rain Falls

Verse

Water on the tin roof, drumming out a beat

Danfo horns are singing to the traffic on the street

Naira in my pocket, palm wine on my tongue

Lagos never sleeping till the morning comes

Puddles turn to mirrors under amber light

Aunty selling suya on the corner right

Generator humming like a second bass

Everybody moving, nobody keeping pace

Pre-Chorus

So hold my hand, don't let it go

The rain don fall, but we still glow

Feel the rhythm rising from the floor

Till the sun comes knocking at the door

Chorus

We dance where the Lagos rain falls

Wet ground, we still standing tall

Bodies moving to the talking drum call

We dance till the morning light on the wall

We dance where the Lagos rain falls

Verse

Umbrella left forgotten, we don't need it now

Steam is rising off the ground, don't ask me how

Neon signs are bleeding colors on the road

Every drop a rhythm, every step we're owed

Market ladies clapping, keeping up the time

Okada engines revving to the sound design

Nobody running home, the party's just begun

This storm is just a blessing dressed up as the fun

Pre-Chorus

So hold my hand, don't let it go

The rain don fall, but we still glow

Feel the rhythm rising from the floor

Till the sun comes knocking at the door

Chorus

We dance where the Lagos rain falls

Wet ground, we still standing tall

Bodies moving to the talking drum call

We dance till the morning light on the wall

We dance where the Lagos rain falls

Bridge

Somebody grab a bucket, turn it upside down

Make music from the water hitting on the ground

No shelter but each other, no roof but the sky

We're never gonna stop until the sun says hi

Chorus

We dance where the Lagos rain falls

Wet ground, we still standing tall

Bodies moving to the talking drum call

We dance till the morning light on the wall

We dance where the Lagos rain falls
