Lagos to London

Built around The journey from Lagos to London, bridging two worlds, carrying your roots while building a new future. Neon Dispatch's Lagos-to-Berlin frequency carries the concept through afrobeats that rewards repeat listens. "From Oshodi to the O2, I've been mapping out the dream" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs ambitious, triumphant, energetic. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.

[verse 1] I left Lagos with a suitcase and a prayer upon my tongue Mama said go make us proud, you're the chosen one Heathrow hit me with the cold but couldn't freeze my fire I've got the heat of Africa inside me, burning higher From Oshodi to the O2, I've been mapping out the dream Trading harmattan for rain but still the same regime Hustle hard and hustle smart, that's the Lagos way Now I'm bringing that same energy to London every day [chorus] Lagos to London, I carry it all The pepper soup, the pidgin, standing ten feet tall Lagos to London, two cities in my blood The Thames and the lagoon, I'm rising like the flood We came, we saw, we conquered every doubt Lagos to London, this is what it's all about From the mainland to the city, hear the drums Lagos to London, look how far we've come [verse 2] Sunday morning, jollof rice and grime on the stereo Mixing cultures like a DJ at the crossroads, here we go My accent switches like the gears on the motorway Yoruba in the kitchen, English out the doorway The mandem on my block all come from different lands But the rhythm pulls us close, everybody understands We built this bridge with music, sweat, and vision clear Now the whole world's paying attention, the future's here [chorus] Lagos to London, I carry it all The pepper soup, the pidgin, standing ten feet tall Lagos to London, two cities in my blood The Thames and the lagoon, I'm rising like the flood We came, we saw, we conquered every doubt Lagos to London, this is what it's all about From the mainland to the city, hear the drums Lagos to London, look how far we've come [bridge] They said we couldn't do it, said we didn't belong But everywhere we go we turn the streets into a song From Peckham to Victoria Island, hear the sound African children shaking up the whole world around We don't forget where we come from, we carry it with pride The ancestors are dancing, they're standing by our side [chorus] Lagos to London, I carry it all The pepper soup, the pidgin, standing ten feet tall Lagos to London, two cities in my blood The Thames and the lagoon, I'm rising like the flood We came, we saw, we conquered every doubt Lagos to London, this is what it's all about From the mainland to the city, hear the drums Lagos to London, look how far we've come [outro] Lagos to London We made it, we made it Lagos to London We never stop, never stop
