Lagos Nights Don't Sleep (version 2) – Sango & Wale

Verse

Danfo horns and pepper smoke on Adeola Street

Palm wine sweet, keeping time with my feet

Ankara skirt catching wind off the lagoon

Amaka call my name under the moon

Generator hum turn to bassline groove

Every body on the sand start to move

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the heat rising off the ground

Lose the clock, let the rhythm turn us round

Who's counting hours when the sky's still gold

Lagos got a heartbeat that never gets old

Chorus

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh

Dancing till the sunrise glow

Hands up, feet loose, let it go

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh

Verse

Bottle sweat cooling down my open palm

Highlife guitar keeping my mind calm

Wale on the mic, Sango on the beat

Every stranger dancing feel like family

Neon sign flicker on the rooftop bar

We don't need the stars, we the brightest star

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the heat rising off the ground

Lose the clock, let the rhythm turn us round

Who's counting hours when the sky's still gold

Lagos got a heartbeat that never gets old

Chorus

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh

Dancing till the sunrise glow

Hands up, feet loose, let it go

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh

Bridge

No name, no face, just the drum and me

Body remember what the mind can't see

Sun coming up but we ain't done yet

This the only clock that we respect

Sun coming up but we ain't done yet

Chorus

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh

Dancing till the sunrise glow

Hands up, feet loose, let it go

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh

Lagos nights don't sleep, oh
