darknitebar - 10AM in Lagos Lyrics

Sound of the horn
My alarm in the morn
Black Diamond 12th floor
City view at the door
Double espresso at the brooks
Can't put none of this on books
Them people gon come for me
Can't get away with just looks
I been around some heavy company
I been around many crooks
You think they looking lovely
That bill ah have you shook
I ain't the one to tell you
I can only show if you look
I really need to come home more
I ain't free in the land
Home ain't even perfect
But It's still what they say it is
We so far behind
It's like a vanishing point
Where do we draw the line
Ain't no leaders aligned
I'm no Gary Newman when I say the city on fire
Posted up with the OGs
When I'm in the city I'm fine
The way these people hold me
I be feeling like the city is mine
Big cousin told me we got it now
Nothing do us when around
You attempt to come near
Hella men that's gon mount
No time to Shalaye
The big eagle on the ground
My sister just tied the knot
I feel like we was just in the sand box
Everybody got a story
Some of us just rather not
Not everybody Tory
Some of us just rather box
Everybody looking for glory
But they don't wanna share the stocks
They see you in a glass house
They steady throwing rocks
So when you catch that big fish
Don't you leave it on the dock
Better leave them birds alone
Opportunity where they flock
Don't get lost in imagination
Reality a heavy shock
I'm still growing
