Lagos vs New York |
| Lagos City |
| Versus new york o! |
| Got to look busy |
| Make some money flow |
| Between the buildings |
| We don’t look |
| Drive by, armed robbery |
| Or a stick up |
| Ain’t no pity everybody knows |
| Cuz its our city |
| And we love it so |
| Cuz its our city |
| And we love it so |
| New york’s busy |
| But lagos is all for show |
| Orisha junctions |
| In manhattan crossroads |
| «go-slow» is what you call |
| A gridlock |
| Our sacrifices you dig up |
| On okada |
| To taxi yellow |
| Cuz its our city |
| And we love it so |
| Cuz its our city |
| And we love it so |
| New york city |
| Just like home |
| Yet so rugged |
| Lagos city |
| Yeah you know |
| We get so rugged |
| Lagos city |
| New york of the third world? |
| Our one mosquito |
| Killed a million microbes |
| Well there’s no sanitation n our |
| Prison |
| You can’t say «i'm on vacation» |
| They won’t listen |
| You got to «dash» the policeman |
| Cuz he ain’t gonna let you go |
