(Intro)
I don try, I don beg, I don stay
But e be like say love na just one-way
If you no feel am, no force am
I don’t have strength to beg for where I should be wanted… 💔
(Verse 1)
I used to write long texts just to prove I care,
You read am, ignore am like say I no dey there.
Even when I hurt, I still dey ask how you be,
But who dey ask Onimix if him heart still dey free?
(Verse 2)
I show love, but I no dey get receipt,
Every “I miss you” dey sound like deceit.
I go fit bleed just to keep you warm,
But I no fit fight when love no get form.
(Verse 3)
Dem say “real men no cry,”
But real pain dey my eye.
I dey laugh outside, but inside I dey drown,
Love na ocean — and me, I dey sink down.
(I don’t have strength to fight for love again,
Gave my heart, dem play am like game.
Silent tears, smile hide the pain,
Now I just walk in the cold with the rain.)
(Verse 4)
I fit disappear and nobody go know,
The ones I love no dey ever show.
You post quotes, but you no go post me,
Private love dey feel like ghost wey haunt me.
(Verse 5)
Every time I speak up, you say I too dey think,
But silence na the reason why this bond dey sink.
I no need expensive gift or rose,
Just someone wey go love me loud — not just in prose.
(Verse 6)
I delete chat, but pain no delete,
I cut ties, but emotions still repeat.
Even prayer no dey heal this ache,
Love dey, but the kind I want? Always fake.
(Verse 7)
So I no go chase, no go drag, no go beg,
If you no pick me, I go walk with my leg.
I go heal small small, no be lie,
But I no get strength to love where I go always cry.
(Verse 8)
You tell me say you love me, but why I dey feel alone?
Your hands cold, your touch na just flesh and bone.
You text me midnight, delete am before dawn,
Love wey hide for shadow, no fit stand sun.
(You call me “baby” inside room,
but outside you move like say we no bloom.
I dey like ghost for your timeline,
but my chest dey host your pain like shrine.)
(Verse 9)
I don tire to love from the background,
Like side note wey no get sound.
I dey love loud — you dey love mute,
Now my heart dey bleed under auto-tune.
(Tell me wetin I do wrong to deserve this hush,
Why my love no fit stand in public rush?
If shame dey follow how you feel,
Then maybe your love no real.)
(Verse 10)
You dey post your food, your pet, your fit,
but me — wey dey break for you — na “keep it discreet.”
Love wey no fit see spotlight
No suppose dey near my soul at night.
(I no beg to be claimed,
but if I dey your heart, no make me feel ashamed.
Hold my hand or let me go,
but don’t plant seeds wey you no ready to show.)
(If I no worth your pride, I no fit beg for space,
i go waka with my scars and still hold grace.
Loving in secret na emotional theft,
i no get strength to be someone you hide like theft.)
(Outro – Spoken Word Style)
I no be password wey you dey hide…
i be person, i be love — i deserve to shine.
If you go love me, do am in full…
f not, free me. i no dey beg to be visible. 🥀
(I just want love wey no need instruction manual…
