Calling (Poko)
Calling attention, "Poko" could be a nickname
I don dey try
Expressing effort and persistence
I don dey fight
Struggling or making an effort
But you've been curving me o
Receiving rejection or avoidance
You dey delay when I get patience
Impatient due to delayed responses
But you're still balling me o
Continuing to face challenges or obstacles
I don dey wait
Waiting patiently
I'm losing faith
Losing faith or hope
Cos you've been blocking me o
Facing obstacles or being ignored
When you dey my mind
Thinking about the person
And I get your back
Offering support or loyalty
And I go chance it all for you
Willing to take risks for the person
Make you do the things you dey do
Encouraging the person's behavior
Fight it all for you
Ready to face challenges for the person
Be your champion
Expressing a commitment to be a champion for the person
I go break all my rules
Willing to break personal rules for the person
Just to see you
Expressing a desire to see the person
I go be your one Odogwu

Be your champion
Committing to being a champion for the person
