Take Notice · Ethọ́s Lab Block Party - Chris B.

[Intro] (highlife guitar lick, talking drum, bright) Ei! From Accra to the coast, we land Vancouver, stand up — take notice, take notice [Verse] From the streets of Ghana to the mountains and the sea Carried all my roots in a laptop and a dream Used to draw the posters, did the Olympic design Now I'm building you the future, front to back, every line Full-stack on the rise, I'm the bridge in between How you touch the screen and the magic underneath Soccer in my blood, watch me dribble through the code Designer, developer — triple threat on the road [Pre-Chorus] They sleep on the city by the ocean and the rain But the ones who really know, they don't talk the same [Chorus] Take notice, take notice Vancouver on the map, this the city we chose Take notice, take notice From Accra with love, watch it grow, watch it grow (ei!) Take notice [Verse] Math lab cubes had me thinking like a child Wishing I could grow up here, in a space this wild Next-gen kids with the whole world in their hand Building out a tomorrow that they already planned I came with the charm and the art and the science Three gifts in one, call it holy alliance Beauty in the pixel, brain in the machine And a heart for the coolest little city you ain't seen [Chorus] Take notice, take notice Vancouver on the map, this the city we chose Take notice, take notice From Accra with love, watch it grow, watch it grow (ei!) Take notice [Bridge] (talking drum break, call-and-response) Nobody talk about Van, but Van talk back (ei!) Cool things growing where they never looked, that's a fact From the gold-coast sun to the evergreen Put your eyes on the West, you'll see what I mean Take notice... take notice... [Chorus] Take notice, take notice Vancouver on the map, this the city we chose Take notice, take notice From Accra with love, watch it grow, watch it grow (ei!) Take notice [Outro] (warm, highlife guitar) From Accra to the coast, we here to stay Vancouver, take notice — we lighting the way Ei! Take notice...
