(intro) Lagos ni mo wa, night heat dey rise, oko danfo dey shout, moto headlights dey blind my eyes. Inside my chest, truth dey knock like 808 wey no wan calm. Every street get secret, every corner dey hide one man story. Tonight, I no dey hide again—mask off, spirit raw. (verse 1) Agege street dry but my mind dey burn. You talk loyalty but your steps no pure. I see footprints wey no match your talk, I hear whispers wey dey crack your words like broken glass. Ojú e ní mo rì, your eyes dey shake when truth dey close. You dey smile but your heart dey leak—omo, I sabi that code. For Lagos, lie dey move fast pass Marwa bike, but truth dey always catch up—even if e crawl. I carry your voice for my memory, but tonight e heavy like load wey conductor no fit lift. Streetlights flicker, breeze no dey, only sound na my sneaker on hot concrete. Eko no dey pity anybody— you lie once, this city go mark your spirit forever. (hook) Mask off, I dey walk through the night like flame. Truth dey pain, but truth dey free my brain. Your shadow long, but e no fit cover my lane. Mask off—Lagos know my name. (verse 2) When you talk “love”, e sweet like Agege bread, but inside, e hollow like bus stop for midnight. I give you calm, you give me chaos; I give you trust, you hide am under false smile. Mo mọ́ pé one day curtain go fall, and now e don fall finish—omo, see you. I no dey shout, I no dey vex, I just dey move silent like thunder wey come slow. Danfo horn dey scream, street dirty, but my mind dey clean for the first time. I dey breathe truth like fresh harmattan wind, sharp, cold, honest. Your call dey ring but my soul no answer— my spirit don block your number before my phone do. Lagos dey watch me, city dey judge but e dey raise men wey hold their word tight. I fit lose you, but I no go lose myself again. (hook) Mask off, I dey walk through the night like flame. Truth dey pain, but truth dey free my brain. Your shadow long, but e no fit cover my lane. Mask off—Lagos know my name. (bridge) Eko whisper say “no fear your scars”, and tonight I hear am clear. You be chapter wey no get next page. I close the book—my heartbeat steady. (outro) Ojota lights dey fade, but my steps dey bold like man wey know where e dey go. Mask off, breath deep, truth sharp— Lagos carry me go forward. I dey rise, I dey move, I dey shine without you and your shadow.
