(Heavy Trap beat starts with a melodic Hausa guitar riff) [Intro ] (Spoken with reverb) Kai! Na reality we dey deal with now. Ba wasa (No playing). Straight from the zuciya . Listen... [Verse 1] Baby girl, why you dey look me with suspicious eye? You say my face strong like dutse, like I no fit cry. You check your phone, you say I no dey online, Thinking say I don find another shawty on the side. But Sweet cadia, make you calm down, make you cool temper, My love for you dey burn pass fire in December. Outside I be guy man, face like soldier, But inside, na you dey make my heart feel tender. I no dey show am for face, gaskiya ne, But deep inside, wallahi, na you dey kill me. People dey talk, dem say I cold like ice, But for your matter, I ready to pay any price. [Pre-Chorus ] [Build-up] Forget the WhatsApp and the video call, Virtual love? Abeg, I no want am at all. I no get time for emoji or snapchat filter, I want to hold you close, be your shelter. I want gaba da gaba (face to face), reality tins, Na real life touching, that is where the love begins. [Chorus ] [Heavy Bass Drop]) Shey you know say Fahamjak no dey gudu ? Wallahi, my love for you sweet pass juju. My face no go show am, I dey keep am low key, But cikin zuciya ta (inside my heart), na only you and me. Fahamjak don lock am, throw away the key, Wait for the moment, masoyiya just see. I no dey leave, I no dey shift, I dey stand gidigba, Na real life love, no be film, no be drama. [Verse 2] I no dey call you every hour like jobless man, I dey street dey hustle, executing the plan. I dey find kudi, I dey find the paper, So I fit buy the ring without needing a later. I no want boyfriend and girlfriend waka, I wan carry you go see Mummy inside Funtua. Aure na the goal, that is why I dey grind, So when I pop the question, you go blow your mind. You see this Purple Heart 💜? Na only you get am, Any other girl come? Walahi I reject am. So ignore the silence, no be say I no care, I dey build our future, baby girl, I swear. [Chorus ] [Heavy Bass Drop]) Shey you know say Fahamjak no dey gudu? Wallahi, my love for you sweet pass juju. My face no go show am, I dey keep am low key, But cikin zuciya ta, na only you and me. Fahamjak don lock am, throw away the key, Wait for the moment, masoyiya just see. I no dey leave, I no dey shift, I dey stand gidigba, Na real life love, no be film, no be drama. Bridge [Bridge ] [Atmospheric, Melodic] Kece tauraruwa ta (You are my star). My number one. Forget the internet. I want to feel your breath. From now until death. Zuciya ta, taki ne . Real life. No edit. [Outro ] [Fade out] Yeah. It’s Fahamjak. You know the name. Zaki tuna shi (Beat fades out)
