Jollof & Joy

[Intro]
[Verse]
Palm-wine guitar start to play
Wash the Lagos heat away
I see you moving in a special way
Wetin a man like me go say?
Your smile brighter than the day
I want you for here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Pepper for the jollof, spice for the soul
You take my heart, you take control
Like the Atlantic, you start to roll
Making me feel like I’m finally whole
[Chorus]
Jollof steam rising high (Rising high!)
Palm wine sweet in your eye (In your eye!)
We reaching for the sky (For the sky!)
No need to ask me why (Ask me why!)
Bare feet dancing on sand (On the sand!)
Come make we hold hand (Hold my hand!)
Music across the land (Across the land!)
Best thing we ever planned (Ever planned!)
[Post-Chorus]
Oya dance, oya sway
Groove till the break of day
Sweet love find a way
By the Lagos bay
[Verse]
Charcoal burning, smoke in the air
Sea salt tang inside your hair
I see the way the people stare
But you and me, we a perfect pair
Everything feeling so bright and fair
Love is a burden I want to bear
Caught in your beautiful golden glare
[Hook]
Girl you carry fire
Take me higher and higher
My one and only desire
Your love, I no go tire
[Chorus]
Jollof steam rising high (Rising high!)
Palm wine sweet in your eye (In your eye!)
We reaching for the sky (For the sky!)
No need to ask me why (Ask me why!)
Bare feet dancing on sand (On the sand!)
Come make we hold hand (Hold my hand!)
Music across the land (Across the land!)
Best thing we ever planned (Ever planned!)
[Bridge]
No more long distance
No more resistance
In this existence
You’re the assistance
Need your persistence
Love with consistence
[Chorus]
Jollof steam rising high (Rising high!)
Palm wine sweet in your eye (In your eye!)
We reaching for the sky (For the sky!)
No need to ask me why (Ask me why!)
Bare feet dancing on sand (On the sand!)
Come make we hold hand (Hold my hand!)
Music across the land (Across the land!)
Best thing we ever planned (Ever planned!)
