Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
City heart, shadows turn
Market smoke, motorbike burn
I stand, I watch, I keep my lane
I whisper warnings in the rain
Arafat Lajoie hums at dusk,
His tune holds truth, his smile is husk
Lajoie Didi moves like echo light,
She keeps her secrets out of sight
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell you, friend, don’t trust each face
In this bright, loud, crowded place
While you fight for one you know,
They’re dancing where the cool winds blow
[Chorus]
Life is a food chain
We climb then we fall
If hearts spoke outright
We’d guard every wall
Food chain, food chain (call)
Food chain, food chain (answer)
[Verse 2]
Kino Lamervey spins the night,
Beats like footsteps, low and tight
Bad 95 drums the pavement raw,
Rhythm reads the city's law
Senator Premier wears a coat of ease,
Promises melt like evening cheese
Diamante Duwangulu speaks in gems,
Words like knives and precious hems
Lion Blessé limps through neon heat,
King once proud, now takes defeat
[Pre-Chorus]
I warn you, friend, learn how to see
Masks fold fast in company
While you hold a fallen hand,
They chase a moon in another land
[Chorus]
Life is a food chain
We climb then we fall
If hearts spoke outright
We’d guard every wall
Food chain, food chain (call)
Food chain, food chain (answer)
[Bridge — sparse, call-and-response]
Tell me—who keeps your back? (Who keeps your back?)
Who sings when lights go black? (Who sings when lights go black?)
I sing—look to the street (Look to the street)
I sing—feel the heat (Feel the heat)
[Build]
Drums open, voices rise
Arafat’s hook in midnight skies
Kino cuts the loop again
Diamante's line shines like rain
[Final Chorus — punchy, rhythmic]
Life is a food chain
We climb then we fall
If minds were open
We’d watch every call
Food chain, food chain (x3)
[Outro]
So beware the friendly grin
The lull before the grin begins
Live wise, keep your eyes aligned
Everyone’s fighting for their peace of mind
[Performance Notes]
- Vocal tag: “Food chain, food chain” repeated as audience call-and-response after each chorus.
- Lead voice: storytelling, warm and wary; backing group answers the tag.
- Suggested C-R (call-and-response) in bridge: Lead asks short lines, crowd replies with echo.
- Groove: mid-tempo Afrobeat — tight snare on 2 and 4, syncopated hi-hats, warm bass pocket, layered percussion (conga/shaker) and brass stabs for chorus hits.
