Create lyrics for an Afrobeats crossover track, 118 BPM, F minor, bright yet mellow danceable groove. Core instrumentation: crisp amapiano log drums, warm round sub-bass, jangly palm-muted highlife electric guitar riffs, gentle djembe and shaker percussion, soft marimba melodic lines, warm muted trumpet stabs, no sax, sun-warmed smooth male lead vocals with light Pidgin inflections, playful call-and-response backing ad-libs. Emotional tone: giddy, soft, grateful, wide-eyed joy. Narrative theme: A young man returning to his quiet coastal hometown after his first big global tour, giddy as he reconnects with childhood friends and the first girl he loved at a sunset beach cookout, cold star beer passed around, sand between toes. Imagery: salt-kissed harmattan wind, coconut frond shade, crackling barbecue smoke, kids chasing stray goats, old street dance moves he never forgot, core celebration of coming full circle, unforced pride in where you come from, quiet lasting love over flashy fame.

歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on my designer shoes
I got nothing left to prove
Harmattan wind on my skin
Let the local life begin
Kids are chasing after goats
I’m just watching fishing boats
Everything feels so brand new
But it’s the same old view
[Pre-Chorus]
Pass the Star beer, keep it cold
Stories that we never told
London lights were bright and grand
But I missed the feeling of the sand
Yeah I missed the way you stand
[Chorus]
Back to the coast, I’m home
No more need to roam
Sunset gold on your face
Slow down the frantic pace
I don’t need the flashy fame
Long as you still know my name
(You know my name?)
(We know your name!)
[Post-Chorus]
Dance for me, dance for me
Under the coconut tree
Dance for me, dance for me
This is where I’m meant to be
Ooh, under the coconut tree
[Verse]
You still got that same sweet smile
Haven’t seen it in a while
Old moves on the sandy floor
Who could ever ask for more?
Barbecue smoke in the air
Salt water tangled in your hair
I see my brothers standing there
With no worries or a care
[Pre-Chorus]
Pass the Star beer, keep it cold
Stories that we never told
London lights were bright and grand
But I missed the feeling of the sand
Yeah I missed the way you stand
[Chorus]
Back to the coast, I’m home
No more need to roam
Sunset gold on your face
Slow down the frantic pace
I don’t need the flashy fame
Long as you still know my name
(You know my name?)
(We know your name!)
[Bridge]
I traveled 'round the whole wide world
But I never forgot my island girl
The stadiums were loud and proud
But I’d rather be in this little crowd
No more planes, no more flights
Just these warm and coastal nights
I dey back for the street
With the rhythm in my feet
[Hook]
Log drum beating in my chest
Put the weary soul to rest
Star beer flowing like the tide
Got that feeling deep inside
No shaking, no stress
Truly, I am blessed
[Chorus]
Back to the coast, I’m home
No more need to roam
Sunset gold on your face
Slow down the frantic pace
I don’t need the flashy fame
Long as you still know my name
(You know my name?)
(We know your name!)
[Post-Chorus]
Dance for me, dance for me
Under the coconut tree
Dance for me, dance for me
This is where I’m meant to be
Ooh, under the coconut tree
[Outro]
