Verse
Stall light flicker, orange on your cheek
Ginger steam rising, curling up so sweet
Plastic cup between your fingers, warm
You blow the top, small smile before the storm
Pepper soup smoke drifting cross the street
Suya smell mixing with the ginger heat
You pass the cup, say make I taste am small
Your mouth still burning, I don't mind at all
Pre-Chorus
So how deep, how deep this spice go
Slow down, make the fire grow
Lean in close, gimme the sign
I got time, I got time
Chorus
Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips
Burning slow, sweetest kind of trip
Market lights turn low, turn low
Ginger lips, I no wan go
Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips
Your mouth dey talk, I dey read your lips
Whole street asleep, we still dey glow
Ginger lips, I no wan go
Verse
Harmattan wind blowing dust and gold
Your scarf come loose, you say you cold
I move small closer, share my jacket sleeve
Your laugh get pepper, e no dey leave
Bench under mango tree, moonlight thin
You touch your lips, say the taste sink in
Generator hum, one candle flame
You say my name like say na spice, my name
Pre-Chorus
So how deep, how deep this spice go
Slow down, make the fire grow
Lean in close, gimme the sign
I got time, I got time
Chorus
Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips
Burning slow, sweetest kind of trip
Market lights turn low, turn low
Ginger lips, I no wan go
Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips
Your mouth dey talk, I dey read your lips
Whole street asleep, we still dey glow
Ginger lips, I no wan go
Bridge
Forget the cup, forget the cold
Just your breath, ginger and gold
No be the drink, na you dey burn me so
Closer now, let the whole world go slow
Chorus
Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips
Burning slow, sweetest kind of trip
Market lights turn low, turn low
Ginger lips, I no wan go
Ginger lips at midnight, ginger lips
Your mouth dey talk, I dey read your lips
Whole street asleep, we still dey glow
Ginger lips, I no wan go
