timel the samurai - summer in new york lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a story about lovers
how they met up in new york
they really came from lagos
nigerian parents aboard
tope used to dream of painting as a kid in lagos
studied painting as a major, now she has a mini studio
and then there was a monday, off to pick some art supplies
she couldn’t place an order, the monday rush was on
if you slow down in new york, you haven’t been to lagos
your focus must be triggered like them boys up in ikeja
she crashed into the sewers from the manhole in the street
she lookеd up to be greeted as a light was shining down
an arm was stretching out, full of nеw york city germs
she took it, standing up, staring into an handsome looking face
tobenna was an agile and a funny little kid
he always loved constructions, built the golden bridge with sticks
his parent had a little but made the best out of their kid
he graduated from college with a dream to make it big

[chorus]
if i met you while daydreaming
will you snap me out it
if you couldn’t see i loved you
will you try to stay with me
if they tried to separate us
will you try to search for me
and i know i’ll keep on searching
on rooftop in new york
[verse 2]
he finally got a gig, then he moved out to manhattan
he was working on the sewer that were rusty in the city
he never dreamed of angels till he saw her on that day
they started smiling awkward as he pulled to her feet
conversations they were having was the brightest that they’ve had
fast forward to october, they’ve been dating for a year
tope was really eager to meet the family of her man
they set a date for dinner on the night of christmas eve
the restaurant located west of the 52nd street
the families started sitting without checking each other faces
tope’s father looked up and he couldn’t believe his eyes
he shouted at his wife that they ain’t gon have no dinner
he turned to face his daughter and said he’s gonna wait at home
everyone was staring at them like someone had slapped their faces
tobenna’s mother, very quiet, she shaking in her sit
tobenna and his father asked her why she couldn’t speak
she knelt down on the ground and started pleading for forgiveness
they kept on asking questions and the reason for the tears
then she whispered softly, you and tope are my twins, d+mn
