Asphalt Threads

[Verse 1]
Sunbeat drumming on the car roof steel,
Lagos heartbeat, how you truly feel.
The hawkers weave through the metal stream,
A thousand voices, living out a dream.
Okada zoom, a flash of vibrant grace,
Finding rhythm in this crowded place.

[Chorus]
Oh, gridlock boogie, can't stop this flow,
Asphalt dance floor, watch the spirit grow.
Hear the engine pulse, the rhythm deep inside,
Every horn a song, with nothing left to hide.

[Verse 2]
Mama's plantain, sizzling in the sun,
Kids are laughing, till the day is done.
From every window, a melody takes flight,
Turning standstill moments into pure delight.
No vexation here, just a collective sway,
We find our freedom, right here in the day.

[Bridge]
These unseen threads of joy, they bind us strong,
A pattern in the chaos, where we all belong.
From dusty village paths to the city's deep embrace,
We mend the broken patterns, find our sacred space.

[Outro]
Lagos moves, a symphony of grace.
Oh, Afrobeats soul, in this timeless place.
