Lekki Gold

[Verse 1]
The Dom Pérignon cold, we dey for Banana Island this Tuesday after two
But the sole of my shoe get hole, I pray she no understand you
See the scaffold of chatter, the crane lifting up the mood
And I'm acting the part of the son my father wished was good.

[Chorus]
Omo, tonight the foundation solid oh!
We be Lekki Gold!
No shaking, nobody fit tell me no!

[Verse 2]
She leans in, I taste the suya-smoke wind from the street below
Sees the stress-fractures forming in my smile, the ones that don't show
“Your watch is clean,” she whispers, I just smile and nod my head
Thank God for the dim light hiding the single silver thread.

[Chorus]
Omo, tonight the foundation solid oh!
We be Lekki Gold!
No shaking, nobody fit tell me no!

[Bridge]
(Music thins, beat drops out, vocal becomes completely dry and close)
One text message, phone screen bright: “Account balance low.”
(Music swells back, horns triumphant)
But I found a new key, I change the lock on that sorrow
For tonight, e no go enter, maybe e go wait till tomorrow.

[Chorus]
Omo, tonight the foundation solid oh!
We be Lekki Gold!
No shaking, nobody fit tell me no!

[Outro]
The Dom Pérignon warm now, dawn breaking on Banana Island view
And the sole of my shoe feels the cold morning dew.
