“Lazy Bones” is a hypnotic Afropop × Afrohouse track inspired by the deadly sin of sloth. With slow, dragging bass and African percussion whispering in trance, it creates a ritual of stillness and heavy groove.

(Hook – lent, répété en chœur grave) Lazy bones… I no go move Body dey heavy, stuck in the groove Sleep dey call, spirit dey slow Afrohouse fire, still dey glow (Verse 1) Eyes half close, I no wan try Beat dey knock, but I just dey lie Club dey loud, but my mind dey fade Inside the dark, sloth parade Bass dey drag, conga dey crawl Shekere dey whisper, slow like fall Omo no rush, no energy Na lazy vibe dey carry me (Pre-Chorus – call & response) Who dey sleep? — Na me dey sleep! Who no move? — Na me no move! Inside Afrohouse, body dey weak Vice of sloth, na groove we seek (Chorus) Lazy bones… I no go move Body dey heavy, stuck in the groove Sleep dey call, spirit dey slow Afrohouse fire, still dey glow (Verse 2) Tomorrow go come, but I no care Everything wait, I no dey there Naija night dey pass me by Still I no fit open eye Drum dey soft, synth dey hum Anger dey fade, sloth dey come Inside this trance, we dey lost Afrohouse vibe, but at a cost (Bridge – chuchoté, comme un sort) Rest… rest… body dey tire No fight, no flame, just slow fire Inside this night, spirit dey drown Lazy bones dey hold me down (Chorus – reprise, plus sombre) Lazy bones… I no go move Body dey heavy, stuck in the groove Sleep dey call, spirit dey slow Afrohouse fire, still dey glow (Outro – mantra) Sloth… sloth… we dey crawl Beat dey drag, but we hear it all Afrohouse chant, midnight deep Lazy bones dey rule my sleep
