lyrics

Verse 1
Have u ever loved a city d way that I love mine?
Good to be born n bred in it, cos its one of a kind
One of a kind, it will teach u all u need to know
One of a kind- what doesn't kill u, can only make u grow
I'm talking about Lasgidi, a city that never sleeps
We always up for d hustle, I guess we up chasing our dreams
5am to sun down, Lagos no dey turn down
Rain or sunny weather, we aint stopping ever

Hook
As long as I've got d air that I breathe
Its Lagos (Lagos)
Lagos for U, Lagos for me
We Lagos (Lagos)

Verse 2
I'm at 3rd mainland bridge
And d lights r all I see
Cars be zooming, people cruising
But its only half past three
Traffic down to iyana-ipaja
Or headed from unilag to Ikeja
I just laugh out loud when I look at d crowd
To survive, u gotta be a soldier
Talk about d boys in black
There's God, so dey can never hold us back
Or u in a  bus, in your own little corner
And everyone's cursing at d driver
But at d end of d day I know
This city na my own
So I'ma let it out, that I'm always proud
Lasgidi chic all day long
