Lyrics
Yo Kid Kwesi
Addressing Kid Kwesi
Let's go with this
Initiating the song
Slow business
Referring to a slow-paced situation
Dj Kofi Kay really be beast for this
Praising Dj Kofi Kay's skills
Oh and it's Kwesi on this
Kid Kwesi's acknowledgment
I know say I talk already sorry just
Apologetic for previous statements
Please tell me you like it, I like it
Asking for listener's approval
Cos then I no fit bed wey I write this
Unable to sleep, composing the lyrics
Oh then it be like 1am or something
Time reference, late-night composition
You see the way I wanna make you mine?
Expressing desire to be with the listener
You be calling my phone
Receiving a call, inviting the listener home
and I pick up the phone
-Oh you wanna come home
-Baby tell me what it is that you want do
-Tell me where it is that you want go
Seeking information on the listener's preferences
Tell me what is is
Request for clarification
You say leave me alone when you need me some more
Conflicting emotions, wanting attention
You don't want me to go
-Baby tell me what it is that you want do
Reiteration of desire for communication
Tell me where it is that you want go
-Yo and I'm back and on this verse
Self-reflection on love and commitment
Already know I don't rehearse
-Killing the beat I do it first and
-then you beg me to reverse like
-Second I reverse I try to make sure I don't curse
-I keep the pain inside the verse
-So you know they're not empty words
-Back to the story I be fool for you
Expressing deep feelings and commitment to the listener
I tell my paddies say yo I damu for you
-So if I ever talk anything wey it make you bore
-Rewind I ain't ever tryna step on you
-I no remove my heart take give anybody but you
-Baby don't be rude
Advising the listener not to be rude
See the way I lef them hoes
Desire for closeness and authenticity
I just wanna get real close
-And if I Dey joke you know me
-Tell me why you bore it no need
Encouraging the listener not to worry
Don't trip like
Expression of uncertainty and concern
Kwesi why you tell her you miss am?
Questioning his own actions and decisions
Kwesi why you doing me this?
-Kwesi Kwesi Kwesi
-Chale shun that thing man my heart with you
Request to disregard negativity
Don't trip like
Repetition of questioning and self-doubt
Kwesi why you tell her you miss am?
-Kwesi why you doing me this?
-Kwesi Kwesi Kwesi
Encouraging to overlook negative thoughts
Chale shun that thing man my heart with you
Request to focus on the positive
Go with it (Go)
Encouragement to go along with the flow
I know say it Dey your mind say Kwesi you be boss
-I say go with it
-I ain't finished
Expressing intention to please the listener
You probably like it and im'ma give it to you
-Don't tell me you like it
-Cos I know you like it
-The way that you Dey move your body
Appreciating the listener's movements to the beat
To the sound of the beat
-It be like it be heat
