A night out in DC turns into dating gossip, group-chat scrutiny, and a wish for someone who stays after the party.
“You say these streets dangerous…”
“Very dangerous!”
“But you don book brunch?”
“Abeg, leave me!”
(Outside! Outside! DC!)
U Street Friday, everybody fine,
Everybody single till you check timeline.
“Wetin you dey do? Who you sabi here?”
You dey find a lover or a new career?
Sunday brunch, you bring your brand-new boo,
My friend say, “Wait—this one follow me too!”
First date never start, group chat don hear,
You dey date one person, whole crew dey there.
“Na my close friend”—okay, no wahala,
Why your whole face change when you see the caller?
DC Enjoyment don get new name:
Juices Enjoyment—same players, new game!
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
DC streets cold, but the party too nice.
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
I no trust the streets, but I still dey outside!
“Na my friend! Na my friend!” (Always innocent!)
“Innocent! Innocent!” (Always innocent!)
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
I no trust the streets, but I still dey outside!
Istanbul pictures, Hinge don refresh,
New profile, same faces—abeg, who be next?
Airplane guy dey call—I dey airplane mode,
My heart need small rest before the next episode.
That guy I call corny now dey make me laugh,
But he know all my friends—abeg, check that map!
“Maybe one more date, maybe spark go show…”
We don reach date four; na only bill dey grow.
He fine on paper, but my body no agree,
No be by résumé, I need chemistry.
Fourteenth Street lights, I dey dance my stress away,
Tomorrow I go answer—make I enjoy today!
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
DC streets cold, but the party too nice.
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
I no trust the streets, but I still dey outside!
“Na my friend! Na my friend!” (Always innocent!)
“Innocent! Innocent!” (Always innocent!)
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
I no trust the streets, but I still dey outside!
She want commitment, he want chemistry,
Chicken and egg—love don turn committee.
If the spark no dey, no speech fit light am,
No need long meeting, I no fit force am.
New circle, new level: make money, make sense,
Good vibes no fit cover expensive nonsense.
Bring me good ideas, no be only invite,
Make we build by day, then we flex for night.
I fit change my mind, I no sign no lease,
One date no mean lifetime guarantee.
Dem say, “Be a savage or you lose for these streets,”
I go guard my heart, still dey move to the beat!
Under all the cruise, I still want real love,
Person wey go stay when the party pack up.
I fit form savage, but my heart no be stone,
Whole city know me, still I dey go home alone.
Twins and one more, but no need to rush,
I dey plan a whole life, no be only crush.
Cold world, cold world, no go make me cold,
I still want somebody wey my heart fit hold.
But tonight… tonight…
(Where we dey?)
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
DC streets cold, but the party too nice.
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
I no trust the streets, but I still dey outside!
“Na my friend! Na my friend!” (Always innocent!)
“Innocent! Innocent!” (Always innocent!)
Outside, outside, we still dey outside!
I no trust the streets, but I still dey outside!
Outside, outside! (Who dey outside?)
Outside, outside! (All of us outside!)
I no trust the streets—no, I no trust the streets—
I no trust the streets, but I still dey outside!
“DC, I don retire. I serious this time.”
“Brunch for the Wharf tomorrow?”
“…Who dey come?”
“Everybody.”
“Abeg, send location.”
(Outside, outside… we still dey outside…)
