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
