“L.A.G.O.S”

Lagos

Land of my father

Praised by my mother

A city so small with people like no other

Here I’ve met friends that are brothers

Lots of sexy queens and divas

Ilu eko people call it

A calm and collected governor heads it

The sweet ocean breeze cools it

While driving on the highway you might loose it

Lovely boats on the island you might get to cruise it

A city where fishes in the ocean flourish

Lovely diner’s with foods well nourished

In need of a plane MM1 you might board it

Streets in the island so satisfying at night

Makes you wonder Mainland where are the lights

Funds so large, reserve so full

Mans so free no tyranny’s rule

Well not till men in blacks ruled

You move with caution else you get killed

See them on the road their eyes so filled

Not with tears, but with anger and rage

Their soul so chilled

MIB remember the ones you killed

The ones you billed and the ones you reeled

So next time when back on the field

And a youth passing by looks so heeled

Make sure your weapons are locked and sealed

Cus when you die all your family’s going to get

Is what you’ve rightfully earned and willed

Well leave that

Sorry I had to reach that

Yeah I’m talking bout my Lagos but I had to preach that

I know that’s a breach of topic i admit that

So my Lagos let’s get to that

Lagos city filled with different culture and race

Some hood so calm some hood dem crase

Coming from Ibadan all I want to see is begga

Where you wan go shomolu, yaba or bariga

Easy to access but traffic might hold ya

And if you try pass one way lastman go bill ya

Even if you be king, queen or burna d gorilla

For some street boys go still drill ya !!!

Governed by Jide Sanwoolu

A city when you’re big every chick knows you

Hype men at clubs just want to hail you

But if it gets to your head and you overstep

You might get beaten and jailed too

Lagos city where the hustle is real

A place where heat comes with the morning dew

Houses so packed you might say eww

But they live well and pay their bill

You hear different yarns and slangs

Like “when it’s good” e mean say e “STEW”

“We are outside” means they ballin in “CREW”

To survive you need not too much power or super SKILL

Just try not to climb rocks While on heels

Universities private, federal and state

With genders from different state

Some with and some without food In their plate

Guarded by the ifa eko jagaban

Any season be it rainy or harmattan

His goals and views for this city and stronger than

Before I end this

Jaga Senior man my hat’s duffed for you

Lagos city a big and sweet turf for you

A government in check low key ruled by you

Toll gate on sight bank rolls for you

Well this city is yours as long as it Flourish

By you

Lagos i love Lagos in cherish

Lagos I am Lagos I relish

Came with a lot of mistakes but dealt with

Forever thankful for this city I’m blessed with

Ask for the the lord to guide and protect US

For this is my land and city LAGOS.
