In The Eyes Of Many

Eko fun gbogbo araye, Lagos is a no-man’s land
the city that teaches you to shine your eye

Get in and settle with your class, nothing here goes as planned
People have thrived on the need to be big. we all wanna reach the sky.

From the IBo boy in Aba market and the mallam selling you suya and pepper
To the Yoruba guy that hails you for change on the street.

No one can claim this city for his own, everyone is a member
When you get down at the park and you lose your money or bag, don’t be offended that’s a welcome to Lagos treat.

Let’s take it to our senior mamas in the night market
It’s money for hand back for ground

Don’t fake or try to use an accent it’s not respected, just makes an easy target
Leave smart and sleek moves for the guy man, if you get caught there’s enough unused tyres around

Never believe when you’re told the police is your friend
It would be wise to co-operate and do as you are told

This is Lagos where people make less than they spend
I don dey talk to much, you live through it and watch the story unfold.
