A bilingual tragicomedy of modern love gone wrong. Pidgin, French, and hashtags collide as the narrator goes from devoted lover to discovering he's 'Admin 3' — then flips the script into a self-love anthem.
Ah... this life
You try to give woman your heart
She go take am, play football, score penalty inside your soul
Wahala!
Drop the beat, make I talk my mind
I send you "Good Morning," mon amour
You see my message, you put me on 'Ignore'
I call your phone, e go straight to voice mail
But you dey online, you dey post your new nails
Shame!
I dey try my best, ma chérie
But you dey 'post' me, you dey post me steady
You post me like letter, you post me like bill
This kind loving, e dey make me sick, e dey make me ill
Why you playing with my heart, c'est pas facile
It's not easy!
You go post me today, you go post me tomorrow
I give you my love, you give me pure wahala
Ah, ma chérie, why you dey do me so
E don post am again!
I see you for the club, you dey with another man
I wave at you, you look me like "Who be this one"
A-yai!
Now I'm sitting in my car, feeling #Stressed
I really thought that our love was #Blessed
You got me checking my phone, feeling #Pressed
This whole situation is #AMess
But the hashtag life no be real life
I'm tired of the pain, I'm tired of the strife
I buy you cadeau, you say e no fine
You dey jouer with my heart like e be your timeline
Why you playing with my heart, c'est pas facile
You go post me today, you go post me tomorrow
I give you my love, you give me pure wahala
Ah, ma chérie, why you dey do me so
She be gamer!
Wait... stop the beat
I see your text message... you forget your phone
You get 'Admin 1,' 'Admin 2,' 'Backup Boo'
And me? You save my name as... 'Free Food'
Tufiakwa!
C'est la vie... the joke was on me
But while I was busy tryin' to love you
I forgot to love moi-même
So I delete your number, I block your WhatsApp
I'm taking myself on a date, I no need your trap
The love I dey find, e dey inside me
I am the King, je suis the G
No more wahala, no more drama-oh
I'm flying solo, I'm my own hero
You played yourself, but you no fit play me
This self-love banger, e dey set me free
She played me, c'est fini
I'm free, je suis libre
E don end! I dey kampe
The wahala don stop
No more posting! I'm posting my new life
I love myself-oh! Na the real banger be dat
Giddem!
