Lagos to Jozi

Lagos, send it!
Send it south!
Jozi, catch it!
Send it back!
Shoulders ready, heels unlocked
Two cities made a third move

Lagos to Jozi, send the move down
Jozi to Lagos, send a new one around
Lagos in the shoulders, Jozi in the feet
Two cities made a third move on the beat

Roll it south
Roll it
Bounce it back
Bounce it
Cross to the middle, let the whole room trade
Two cities, one new move we made

Eleven-oh-nine on a Lekki roof
Cracked phone leaning on an ice-box lid
Kemi rolls one shoulder under blue light
Green wristband flashing when she turns it twice
The DJ catches it and loops four bars
Tags a Jozi dancer watching from afar
Before the next chorus reaches the crowd
That little shoulder roll is travelling south

Don't copy the step — answer it
Keep what you feel, then add to it
Shoulder first, let the bassline breathe
Jozi, what you sending back to me?

Lagos to Jozi, send the move down
Jozi to Lagos, send a new one around
Lagos in the shoulders, Jozi in the feet
Two cities made a third move on the beat

Eleven in Lagos, midnight in Jozi
Lethu sees the clip in Braamfontein
White sole dragging a half-moon line
Heel drops late, just behind the bass
She keeps Kemi's shoulder, changes the feet
Adds one low bounce underneath the beat
Sends it back before the taxi doors close
By breakfast, the Lekki rooftop knows
Kemi tries it once, then laughs out loud
That's not my dance now — look at the crowd!

Don't copy the step — answer it
Keep what you feel, then add to it
Lagos sent a spark through the night
Jozi sent a whole new rhythm back

Lagos to Jozi, send the move down
Jozi to Lagos, send a new one around
Lagos in the shoulders, Jozi in the feet
Two cities made a third move on the beat

Lagos shoulder
Roll it!
Jozi heel
Bounce it!
Cross to the middle
Hold it!
Send it back
Again!
Switch that side
Switch it!
Dip one time
Easy!
Turn to your people
Everybody trade a move!

I sent one step; it came back changed
That's how a rhythm learns a name
You kept my shoulder, added your feet
Now both our fingerprints live in the beat
Nobody copied, nobody had to choose
We answered each other and made something new

Lagos to Jozi, send the move down
Jozi to Lagos, send a new one around
Lagos in the shoulders, Jozi in the feet
Two cities made a third move on the beat
Every time the rhythm crosses town
It comes home wearing something new
Lagos to Jozi, Jozi to Lagos
Send it back — let the next city move

Lagos shoulder
Jozi heel
Two cities
One new move
Lagos to Jozi
Send it back!
