Sure! Here's an Afrobeats love song about a broke guy falling in love with a girl who indirectly rejects him, using other excuses — but deep down, he knows it's because he's broke. The tone is emotional but still has that signature Afrobeat bounce and melody.

🎵 Title: “If I Get Money” 🎵
Afrobeat Love Story
[Intro – Smooth melody with gentle percussion]
Oh no no no…
Yeah yeah…
Skibo, skibo, oh-oh
Mmmh…
[Verse 1]
Met you on a Monday, smile be like holiday
You say you like my vibe, but you no wan come my way
You dey talk say time no dey,
But I see am for your face
Say if my pocket dey okay,
You go give me small embrace
You dey form like say you holy
Say your ex do you dirty
But deep down, you dey check my story
See my life, I no get glory (yet)
[Pre-Chorus]
You say "let’s just be friends"
But you no call again
You dey chill with big men
And I still dey take bus to Mainland
[Chorus]
If I get money, would you love me then?
Would you still say "no" or hold my hand?
All these reasons wey you give me,
Na packaging to hide the pain
But I sabi say I no get gain
That’s the reason you no remain
[Post-Chorus – Backing vocals harmonizing]
Oh girl, just tell me true
If na money, I go find am for you
But don’t pretend like you care too
When deep down you just dey pursue
[Verse 2]
I no go lie, e pain me small
You dey tell me "maybe later", but that later no dey call
I dey hustle day and night
Tryna make am, tryna shine
But love no be competition
So why my wallet be your vision?
You dey say, "I'm not ready"
But I see say na Benz you dey enter steady
I dey wear my one jean every weekend
And you dey flaunt Dubai with your best friend
[Pre-Chorus]
You say "it’s not about the cash"
But your eyes dey flash
Any time I ask
You dey vanish like network crash
[Chorus]
If I get money, would you love me then?
Would you still say "no" or hold my hand?
All these reasons wey you give me,
Na packaging to hide the pain
But I sabi say I no get gain
That’s the reason you no remain
[Bridge – Soulful breakdown]
I go blow one day,
Na that time you go dey
Say you miss the way
I used to smile and play
But e go be too late
'Cause I go find real babe
Wey go love me for my name
Not just the money I dey make
[Final Chorus – More instruments layered in]
If I get money, would you love me then?
Would you still say "no" or hold my hand?
All these reasons wey you give me,
Na packaging to hide the pain
But I sabi say I no get gain
That’s the reason you no remain
[Outro – fade out with beat]
Oh oh oh oh oh…
If I get money…
Would you still say no?
Skibo, skibo, oh-oh
Na money be the wahala, oh
