An EDM-meets-Afro lament for a love that won't leave the head it lives in. Sleepless nights, ghost shadows, and a heart still paying rent on a tenant long gone.
I dey look for the future, but the vision no clear
'Cause your face na the only thing I see from here.
A thousand grammars, but I no fit explain
How the memory of you dey give me this pain.
You carry my heart, then you lock up the door,
Now I'm pacing the tiles, I dey sleep for the floor.
No be small thing—you're living rent-free,
Got the master key to my sanctuary.
And I know, I know, I know
You're a ghost, but I no fit let you go.
You took the light, now I'm lost in the dark,
You left with my soul, guy, you took every spark.
I try to move, I try to fight,
But I still see your shadow for middle of night.
Inside my head, you dey stay rent-free,
This empty bed, e dey haunt-i me.
I guess you fit call me a lonely girl,
But the memory dey chase me, I no fit stand.
Got monsters for head and freaks for my bed,
No sleep for this side, I go sleep when I'm dead.
Omo, I'm starting to feel like a zombie,
'Cause your memory, e dey haunt-i me!
We don try, we don tire, the fire don cool,
I was chasing your ghost, I was playing the fool.
Now you flood my timeline, you're looking for grace,
But I block every line, I dey clear every trace.
You're chasing the "slime time," chasing the bread,
While I'm chasing the demons you left in my head.
I got my G's up, I'm back on my zone,
No room for the "skeezer," I'm better alone.
You thought you won? You thought you were king?
But a hollow heart doesn't feel anything.
No backtrack... no backtrack.
I no want the drama, I no want the "nat-nat."
You lead me on, you lead me astray,
Now the sun is gone, and the sky is grey.
I'm a dead girl walking!
I'm a ghost in the party!
Your love be the virus!
It's taking my body!
Zombie... Rent-free... Haunt-i me...
I try to move...
But I still see you for night.
(Zombie... I be zombie...)
Omo, you no pay rent... but you occupy the space.
