Slow Flames

Chorus

Fire to boil

Slow flame we dey

Patience on stove

Watch how we rise

Hook

Steady dey burn

Steady dey turn [Verse 2]

Cold, but my blood dey hot

Our love , simmer a lot

dark, but my hope never crack

Love like fire, when it burns your soul [Bridge]

Cold air blow, blue flame show

Take am slow, we go reach am so

No rush, just faith on the gas

Love and the hustle dey always last [Chorus]

Fire to boil

Slow flame we dey

Patience on stove

Watch how we rise

Outro

E go boil, e go done,

Wait small, journey long

Gas dey, heart strong

Pots full, we belong

Verse 1

Gas on low, morning cold

Steam rise slow, truth unfold

Metal counter, stained and scarred

But I see gold in every part

Broken tiles, pepper breath

Cracked old sink, but I no fear death

You don’t rush stew when it’s built to last

I take my time, I stir my past

Pre-Chorus

This fire’s not loud, but it never sleeps

This dream’s not soft, but it holds me deep

Even in silence, I dey hear it speak

One flame, one pot, and the food go sweet

Chorus

Slow fire, no spoil

Big dream, small oil

Steam rise, I dey loyal

Love dey, heat dey — fire to boil

Slow fire, no spoil

Big dream, small oil

Gas dey, hope royal

Love dey, heat dey — fire to boil

Verse 2

He walked in with a box of red

Grin like sun wey never beg

Called me “boss,” I called it fate

He saw the mess, but he stayed late

This kitchen tight, this budget lean

But in my chest, the light still green

I mix my prayer with groundnut spice

I dey simmer pain into something nice

Pre-Chorus

This table no set, but I go serve

This life na heat — I no dey swerve

Even if dem no dey observe

One spark, one hand, and I find my nerve

Chorus

Slow fire, no spoil

Big dream, small oil

Steam rise, I dey loyal

Love dey, heat dey — fire to boil

Slow fire, no spoil

Big dream, small oil

Gas dey, hope royal

Love dey, heat dey — fire to boil

[Bridge] (soft harmonies, almost whispered)

Every pot tell story

Every scar dey holy

No light, no glory

But I still dey cook slowly

Outro

Gas on low…

Flame still glow…

Dream dey grow…

Fire to boil.
