Lagos Facade
A song made by Tok Concepts
(Oya, ehen)
Yeah, keep it cool now
Everything for the gram, right?
(See gobe)
She posts the pictures in a private jet
But never says she’s sitting in a debt
Designer bags are lining up the wall
She’s barely answering her landlord’s call
It’s a movie scene, a digital display
Living for the likes throughout the day
She says she’s working on a secret deal
But nothing in the story seems quite real
Oh, it’s just a shadow, just a show
Where the truth is hiding, we don’t know
Living that life, but it’s all a facade
Trading the real for a plastic card
Yeah, the lifestyle’s bright but the heart is cold
Chasing the glitz that you’ve been sold
(No dulling!)
She talks of trips to Paris every week
But never shows the truth that she might seek
Expensive dinners in a borrowed dress
To cover up the quiet, empty mess
Shey you dey whine me, is it all a lie?
Just a little smoke to blur the eye
She’s moving fast to catch a higher view
But baby girl, the shadow’s chasing you
Oh, it’s just a shadow, just a show
Where the truth is hiding, we don’t know
Living that life, but it’s all a facade
Trading the real for a plastic card
Yeah, the lifestyle’s bright but the heart is cold
Chasing the glitz that you’ve been sold
(Omo, e choke!)
Can you tell me what you’re searching for?
When you’re always begging for some more?
The mirror shows the lady that you hide
There’s no sincerity inside, no ride
Just the filter, just the light
Everything is perfect in the night
Take a breath and put the phone away
Find the person that you were today
Before the followers and before the fame
Before the lifestyle was the only name
It’s okay to be simple, be you
Instead of playing games that are untrue
(Ah-ah, see gobe!)
Oh, it’s just a shadow, just a show
Where the truth is hiding, we don’t know
Living that life, but it’s all a facade
Trading the real for a plastic card
Yeah, the lifestyle’s bright but the heart is cold
Chasing the glitz that you’ve been sold
Yeah, keep it real, omo
No need for the facade
Just be you, yeah
(No dulling!)
(Ehen, peace out)
