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
