Karlsruhe, Lagos, Karlsruhe, Lagos,
Nigeria and Germany, Nigeria and Germany,
Sounds like worlds apart, sounds like worlds apart.
Is it really, is it really?
In some ways yes, in some ways yes,
In many ways no, in many ways no.

Look at us on our phones, look at us on our phones:
Same apps, global brands, same apps, global brands,
Same social media, same social media.
By the way, talking of which, by the way, talking of which:
We do English, we do English.
Not like Cambridge, not like Cambridge,
But it works for us, but it works for us.

We get entertained, we get entertained:
Bolly-, Holly-, Nollywood, Bolly-, Holly-, Nollywood,
Action and romance, action and romance,
Same plots everywhere, same plots everywhere.
Music and football, music and football,
Plenty global players, plenty global players.
Business and politics, business and politics,
Donald Musk and Elon Trump, Donald Musk and Elon Trump,
Love them or hate them, love them or hate them,
Some names we know, some names we know.

So much so same, so much so same,
And getting more so, and getting more so.
We're not worlds apart, we're not worlds apart.
We're in weird mix, we're in weird mix.
We need a better mix, we need a better mix,
And we're gonna make it, and we're gonna make it.
Time for good mix, time for good mix,
Time for good mix, it is now.
