Here’s a sorrowful, mysterious Afrobeat cut about Chidwave on the hustle — low tempo, moody guitars, log drums that hit like heartbeats, foggy horns in the background.

*Title: Chidwave Dey Hustle*
*Vibe:* Slow Afrobeat, minor key, eerie keys, heavy bass, ghostly backing vocals. Sorrowful + mysterious

Chidwave…
Night dey long…
Eh… make dem no see me…
**
Streetlight dey flicker, rain dey fall
Chidwave dey move, back dey against the wall
Pocket empty, but mind dey full of plans
Shadow dey follow, I no fit shake the hands
Dem say “boy, your time go come” but when?
I dey count my breaths in a city wey no end
Every corner get eyes, every smile get knife
I dey hustle in silence, fighting for my life
**
Something dey follow me, I no fit see the face
But I feel am for my back, chasing through this place
If I fall tonight, who go tell my story?
Chidwave… lost in the glory…

Chidwave dey hustle, but the night too dark
Every step I take, na scar upon scar
Dem no know my name, dem no know my pain
I dey run from shadows wey dey call my name
Chidwave dey hustle, mystery dey my way
If I no make am, who go see the light of day?
**
I carry dreams for bag wey don tear
I sell my hope for road where fear dey near
Voice dey whisper, “turn back, no go far”
But Chidwave no fit stop, this na who we are
I see my reflection for dirty window glass
E look like stranger, like my soul don pass
Money no dey answer, but trouble dey quick
I dey hustle in mystery, and the night too thick
**
Something dey follow me, I no fit see the face
But I feel am for my back, chasing through this place
If I fall tonight, who go tell my story?
Chidwave… lost in the glory…

Chidwave dey hustle, but the night too dark
Every step I take, na scar upon scar
Dem no know my name, dem no know my pain
I dey run from shadows wey dey call my name
Chidwave dey hustle, mystery dey my way
If I no make am, who go see the light of day?
**
They ask me where I dey go…
I no know…
They ask me who dey follow…
I no see…
But Chidwave must move…
Even if the road go swallow…
**
Chidwave dey hustle, but the night too dark
Every step I take, na scar upon scar
Dem no know my name, dem no know my pain
I dey run from shadows wey dey call my name
Chidwave dey hustle, mystery dey my way
If I no make am… the night go stay…
**
Chidwave…
The night never end…
