Sugarcane Waist (Version 3)

Verse 1

Generator hum, orange light for the stall

Sugarcane peel curling, watch it drop and fall

You dey bite the stick, juice run for your chin

Waist beads dey knock under your ankara skin

Night market sweet, pepper soup for the air

Your laugh carry far, I no fit stay there

Come closer small, make I taste the shine

Sugar for your mouth, sugar down your spine

Pre-Chorus

So slow, so slow, why you dey waka so slow

Every step you take, make the whole street glow

Tell me the secret, make I follow the sign

I got time, I got time

Chorus

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Sweet the way you move, nothing to waste

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Bend like the stalk, keep your own pace

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Juice on your lip, put am for my taste

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Sweetest thing wey dey this whole place

Verse 2

Lace wrapper tied low, moonlight for your hip

Waist beads dey answer every small step you skip

Kerosene lamp flicker, shadow on the wall

You dey peel the cane, I dey watch it all

Your finger sticky sweet, you offer me a bite

I taste your sugar and the whole sky feel light

Cricket dey sing but I no hear the sound

Only your waist wey dey turn me round and round

Pre-Chorus

So slow, so slow, why you dey waka so slow

Every step you take, make the whole street glow

Tell me the secret, make I follow the sign

I got time, I got time

Chorus

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Sweet the way you move, nothing to waste

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Bend like the stalk, keep your own pace

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Juice on your lip, put am for my taste

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Sweetest thing wey dey this whole place

Bridge

Forget the market, forget the noise

Just your waist and the quiet it enjoys

Hold my hand, make the sugar melt slow

Nowhere sweet like the place we go

Chorus

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Sweet the way you move, nothing to waste

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Bend like the stalk, keep your own pace

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Juice on your lip, put am for my taste

Sugarcane waist, sugarcane waist

Sweetest thing wey dey this whole place
