Eko - Soti

We no get work but de pay us

We no get love for the neighbors

We de chase money no favors

Everyday life for Lagos

Sleep wake up grind turnup x8

L a g o S state

U can’t live here if u no get crase

And u no fit survive with ur own template

Cos them no send u if u no get pay

Grand pa u de form daddy yo

U no carry come but u wan carry go

Mai barrow shey u wan carry load

For hip hop hurray u de dance awilo

Eko b d place of life

Cos the city don’t sleep whether day or night

Water de scarce and dem no bring light

But no matter as e be we go de alright

We no get work but de pay us

We no get love for the neighbors

We de chase money no favors

Everyday life for Lagos

Sleep wake up grind turnup x8

Las gidi wey we de e b jungle

Even if ur name no b smith u go humble

U go vex u go flip till u tumble

And if u no get mind u go fumble

Some days we de pray for rain

And when d rain fall E de rain for days

Everybody de sharp pass razor blade

Dem de hustle for d bread plus mayonnaise

So Whether u b King u b artiste or u live around the VI axis wetin u no fit

escape b d traffic

Qase on d beat oya dance it

Eko, there’s no place like EKO

Sleep wakeup grind turnup x8
