Calm down

Lyrics

[Intro -

it's your boy Young Alhage
Baby, make we calm down oh...
No dey carry me go...

[Verse 1 - mellow afrobeat groove, warm synth pads, smooth melodic rap-sing delivery, light percussion build]

See the way you dey make my heart dey race
Every time you smile, e dey light up the place
We no need to fight, no need for the chase
Baby girl, come close, let me hold your waist
Memories wey sweet like sugar cane
Rain go fall, but sun go shine again
No dey worry 'bout the yesterday pain
Together we go make am, no be in vain

[Pre-Chorus - rising synth swells, layered ad-libs, increasing conga rolls, emotional vocal tension]

Oh girl, why you dey do me like this?
Your love dey sweet, but e dey make me miss
Hold me tight, no let go, promise me
We go dance through the storm, you and me

[Chorus - infectious afrobeat bounce, heavy log drums, vibrant synth horns, soaring harmonious vocals, call-and-response ad-libs]

Calm down, calm down oh... (calm down oh)
No dey carry me go... (no carry me go)
Your love too sweet, e dey make me high
Baby calm down, calm down for me
Calm down, calm down oh... (calm down baby)
We go be alright, no fear no lie
Hold me, love me, make we fly away

[Verse 2 - deeper bass groove, subtle guitar plucks, intimate whispered verses transitioning to fuller rap flow, emotional vulnerability]

Nights wey cold, you dey warm my soul
Eyes like stars, make my body whole
Even when the world dey turn us cold
Your touch dey heal, turn silver to gold
No more tears, wipe dem from your face
In your arms, I don find my place
Afro love, we no fit replace
Forever yours, in this endless race

[Pre-Chorus - intensified percussion, echoing vocal harmonies, building synth arpeggios, heartfelt plea]

Oh girl, why you dey do me like this?
Your love dey sweet, but e dey make me miss
Hold me tight, no let go, promise me
We go dance through the storm, you and me

[Chorus - peak afrobeat energy, massive log drum drops, brass stabs, group vocal chants, euphoric ad-libs]

Calm down, calm down oh... (calm down oh)
No dey carry me go... (no carry me go)
Your love too sweet, e dey make me high
Baby calm down, calm down for me
Calm down, calm down oh... (calm down baby)
We go be alright, no fear no lie
Hold me, love me, make we fly away

[Bridge - stripped-back percussion fade, solo piano-like synth, raw emotional falsetto, vulnerable whispers]

If e be say na dream, make I no wake
Your heart na my home, no mistake
Calm down my love, everything go be fine
We go shine, you and I...

[Outro - fading log drums, ethereal synth washes, reverb-heavy vocal echoes, soft ad-libs trailing off]

Calm down, calm down oh... (fade out)
No dey carry me go...
Baby, calm down... calm down for me...
