Slow Burn in Lagos
B
Bezuidenhoutcaiden
male vocals
mid-tempo groove with round bass
bright guitars
Afrobeats meets laid-back hip-hop bounce
and airy synth plucks. Male vocals
conversational in the verses with subtle rap cadences; chorus opens into a melodic chant with stacked harmonies and call-and-response ad-libs. Percussion is busy but soft-edged
shakers and rim hits weaving around a warm
steady kick. Final chorus adds extra backing vocals and muted brass stabs for a lifted
celebratory feel.

[Verse 1]
Late text on my phone
“You dey come?” then a smiley
You say you tired of the club
Wanna chill
Keep it private
White tee
Little gold chain
You in shorts and a bonnet
Burning jollof in the pot
You laugh say “I don spoil am” (hey!)
[Chorus]
Slow burn in Lagos
We don’t rush this kind of love
Windows open
Fan just turning
Your head on my chest
You soft like glove
Slow burn in Lagos
Let the small small drama fade
All I need is you and this moment
Baby make we live here every day (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You talk plans for December
I just watch how you talking
Hands keep drawing in the air
Like you painting your options
Light off
Candle on tray
Wax drip on the saucer
You say “promise you go stay?”
I say “girl
I dey your corner”
[Chorus]
Slow burn in Lagos
We don’t rush this kind of love
Windows open
Fan just turning
Your head on my chest
You soft like glove
Slow burn in Lagos
Let the small small drama fade
All I need is you and this moment
Baby make we live here every day (slow, slow)
[Bridge]
Who dey outside?
We inside
Just vibing (vibing)
Rain hit zinc like drumming
Heart beat same timing
If this night never finish
I go still dey hungry for more
From your door to my story
Na your name wey I go pour
[Chorus]
Slow burn in Lagos
We don’t rush this kind of love
Windows open
Fan just turning
Your head on my chest
You soft like glove
Slow burn in Lagos
Let the small small drama fade
All I need is you and this moment
Baby make we live here every day (every day)
Late text on my phone

Slow burn in Lagos
