Alabo and Alabota

Alabo and Alabota
A song made by Dr.Ine Briggs
(Talking drum rhythm fades in)
Omo, listen to the story of the love
From the creeks to the city of light
Alabo and Alabota, on God!
It started for Ishi Polo, the roots deep inside
Where the river meet the road and our spirits collide
Alabo dey find way, Alabota dey shine
Two hearts wey collide, yeah, the stars start to align
We chase the life, we chase the work, but we find the grace
In the middle of the hustle, I look into your face
Oforima Iloma, the beauty of the creek
Na only your matter dey make my heart feel weak
Alabo and Alabota, na we run this town
Through the twists and the turns, we no go fall down
From the ancient creeks to the isles of Paris
Your love is the sweet melody, you dey nourish
Alabo and Alabota, our story untold
More precious than silver, more brighter than gold
Dolce of the good life, we sipping on the wine
But nothing sweeter than the moment that you call me mine
Through the ups and the downs, wahala come and go
But the ginger in our soul, e never lose the glow
Even for the streets of France, we carry the vibe
True love is the rhythm that we keep inside
Alabo and Alabota, na we run this town
Through the twists and the turns, we no go fall down
From the ancient creeks to the isles of Paris
Your love is the sweet melody, you dey nourish
Alabo and Alabota, our story untold
More precious than silver, more brighter than gold
E no be lie, we start from the mud to the stars
Healing every wound and we fading all the scars
(Talking drum break)
I stay by your side, no shaking, no fear
As long as you dey, the path is always clear
Alabo and Alabota, na we run this town
Through the twists and the turns, we no go fall down
From the ancient creeks to the isles of Paris
Your love is the sweet melody, you dey nourish
Alabo and Alabota, our story untold
More precious than silver, more brighter than gold
Yeah, Alabo and Alabota
Story for the books, omo!
No dulling, love dey sweet
See the grace, see the shine
E choke, na forever!
(Music fades out with shekere and guitar loop)
