Butter Chicken Delhi Spice

▶ Play this song to follow along.

(Ooh...)

Sunrise over Delhi, chai in my hand

City waking slowly, another day begins

Step outside, sandals on the street

Paratha on the tawa, smell too good to leave

Uncle at the stall says, "Beta, come eat"

I said, "Running late," he said, "Sit down, take a seat"

Metro packed tight, everybody's got somewhere

Phone in my pocket, music floating through the air

Delhi moving fast but I'm moving with the flow

From Connaught Place down where the old streets glow

And when the afternoon heat starts coming through

I already know exactly what I'm gonna do

Butter Chicken, Naan On The Side

Nashville heat with that Delhi spice

Cream In The Sauce, Whole Room Smells Nice

(Butter chicken, butter chicken)

One more piece, I'm staying for the night

Afternoon rooftop, trying to catch some shade

Chai getting poured while the plans get made

Friend says, "Let's go," I say, "Where we heading?"

Twenty minutes later, everybody's already ready

Back on the streets when the sun goes low

Market lights shining, whole place glows

Street food sizzling, smoke rising in the air

Brother pulls up with the food, "Finally, my man"

Butter Chicken, Naan On The Side

Nashville heat with that Delhi spice

Cream In The Sauce, Whole Room Smells Nice

(Butter chicken, butter chicken)

One more piece, I'm staying for the night

Delhi don't sleep, so neither do we

From morning chai to the late-night streets

(From morning chai, to late-night streets)

Butter Chicken, Naan On The Side

Nashville heat with that Delhi spice

Long Day Behind Me, Food Feels Right

(Butter chicken, butter chicken)

Sitting with my family underneath the city lights

(Ooh...)

Tomorrow morning, same streets, same chai

Same brother asking, "Chicken again?"

Yeah...
