🎙️ Intro (0:00 - 0:15)
(Spoken word, raw voice, slight echo)
"This one na for every guy wey love clean…
…And chop betrayal raw.
For every Cassy wey forget say loyalty no be trial version.
Yeah.
Make una listen to this story…
From trenches to truth."

🧊 Verse 1 (0:16 - 1:10)
(Melodic rap, soft keys, slight auto-tune)
I fell in love fresh outta school (Yeah)
Double honour prefect, I was that dude (Facts)
Met this girl, Cassandra — lil mama cool
She dey humble, I swear I no fit lose
She be angel in my eyes, I adore her (adore her)
Talk say we go build life, I go sponsor (real talk)
Maybe I blind, I no see the drama
Maybe na beauty disguise the wahala
I love am like mumu, no regrets (no regrets)
Do anything just to see her impressed
Left Benue go Lagos, chase success
Skinny paycheck, but I still dey invest
---
🎯 Hook (1:11 - 1:40)
(Chant-style, melodic with bounce)
"Shebi na love wey I give you? (Cassy!)
Why you go lie, why you do me so? (Oh no!)
Say na your brother friend, but I know your home (Lies!)
Now na my heartbreak dey stream like show (On God!)"
"Cassy... you do me dirty (dirty)
Your smile sweet, but your heart heavy (heavy)
I fall for you, now I dey learn plenty
Next time, I dey guard love gently"
---
💔 Verse 2 (1:41 - 2:30)
(Stronger voice, deeper tone, more emotion)
COVID time — world dey cry
BLM, protest, End SARS fly
Me I dey offline, just dey survive
My bro say “Weezy, make I shock you guy”
He show me Facebook post
Cassy and that same guy dey toast
Caption read “in a relationship”
My chest cut like knife, I no believe
She lied say na her brother friend
But I know her family, start to end
The guy no get bloodline, e no blend
Still I send money — through her — to him again
Imagine the pain, imagine the dummy
Broken trust and a soul wey dey runny
We fight, we break, we settle again
But love no be bandage, e no cure pain
She get belle for another man’s reign
The baby no survive, I felt the rain

🎶 Hook (2:31 - 3:00)
(Repeat, with faint female echo vocals)
"Shebi na love wey I give you? (Cassy!)
Why you go lie, why you do me so? (Oh no!)
Say na your brother friend, but I know your home (Lies!)
Now na my heartbreak dey stream like show (On God!)"
"Cassy... you do me dirty (dirty)
Your smile sweet, but your heart heavy (heavy)
I fall for you, now I dey learn plenty
Next time, I dey guard love gently"
---
🧘🏽 Spoken Outro (3:01 - 3:30)
(Calm beat fade, spoken word tone)
"Maybe na all part of the growth
To learn say not every smile be hope
Not every kiss be future — some be knife in cloak
But I no regret loving, I just regret blindness"
"Cassy, if you hear this —
No hard feelings, only healing.
You taught me that love no dey come with receipt
Now I dey love myself first… fully legit."
