Lagos nights never sleep, we keep moving (Version 2)

Verse 1

Generator rumble shaking up the shop floor

Yellow bus idling right outside the club door

Hot exhaust, salt mist sticking to my skin tight

Ankles roll, sneakers grip, moving in the red light

Subwoofer kick like an engine in my ribcage

Shadow on the concrete turning to a new page

Wrist flick, neck snap, timing every backbeat

Body catch the current rising off the black street (street)

Pre-Chorus

Hear that engine turn (turn)

Feel that diesel burn (burn)

Asphalt starts to shake

Ain't no break we take

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep, we keep moving

Bass in the belly and the pulse keep proving

From the island to the mainland, heel to the toe

Lagos nights never sleep, watch the rhythm go

Verse 2

Tire iron rhythm drumming on a steel rim

Neon tube buzzing through the humid air dim

Braids swing heavy like a pendulum of dark thread

Every step a testament to everything unsaid

Sweat map running on the border of my collarbone

Two feet talking to a city made of loud stone

Sirens in the distance singing in a sharp key

Traffic stop moving just to let the groove be (be)

Pre-Chorus

Hear that engine turn (turn)

Feel that diesel burn (burn)

Asphalt starts to shake

Ain't no break we take

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep, we keep moving

Bass in the belly and the pulse keep proving

From the island to the mainland, heel to the toe

Lagos nights never sleep, watch the rhythm go

Bridge

No rest, just the drum in the bone marrow

Wide road running till the alleys get narrow

Sky turn purple but the speakers don't quit

Ground gives way where the heavy soles hit

Chorus

Lagos nights never sleep, we keep moving

Bass in the belly and the pulse keep proving

From the island to the mainland, heel to the toe

Lagos nights never sleep, watch the rhythm go
