Over a relaxed chord and drum backdrop, M.anifest and Simi tell the chronicles of a complicated relationship.
The song has the rapper professing his undying love for his partner whilst apologizing for his promiscuity.
Simi sings from a similar perspective as the victim in the relationship who has...
[Hook: Simi]
What do I look like?
What do I look like?
Oh you, said you was a good guy
But you never do right
You wanna play me for a fool
You really wanna play me, play me for a fool
Tell me what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? when I'm leaving you
Leaving you, when I'm leaving you
[Verse 1: M.anifest]
You dey hold grudges? Let me find out
You in Cape Town with Amy in a wine house
I dey search where you dey, in a hideout
Mistakes have been made, can we white out?
Baby don't leave, if you do I go craze now
The past is the past can you please press erase now
See you with another, might catch a case now
Pay for my sins, tell me how, should I PayPal?
Ask Simi, you might see me
Showing all 32 like a gyimi-gyimi
When they call your name, I act silly
Shaku shaku or maybe even rock milly
Sorry if I took you for granted but I'm still watering these seeds we planted
No be lie, I'm a correct guy
Forgiveness, please reply baby
[Hook: Simi]
What do I look like?
What do I look like?
Oh you, said you was a good guy
But you never do right
You wanna play me for a fool
You really wanna play me, play me for a fool
Tell me what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? when I'm leaving you
Leaving you, when I'm leaving you
[Verse 2: M.anifest]
First things first, you know sey you're my first love (Ampa)
Even though I told you 'bout my ex loves
Know it sounds like a contradiction
My mission is cuddle, kiss and give the best hugs
I know I didn't call, is that against the law?
Why are you so appalled
You rant and you grunt and your friends tell you bants, "First I could now I can't"
You found a rubber in my pants, at least I was being safe
Can I get another chance? Even though what I said was a stupid thing to say (I know)
Tougher than nails, too many times you drill me
Besides, I don't have any side chicks to thrill me (Oh no)
Pay you attention, invoice and bill me
I go be your cash cow, go ahead and milk me
[Bridge: Simi]
I know you must think I'm dumb
You do me bad for too long
And this betrayal so strong, so strong
I sing am for song
Just walk away, I tell you, better walk away
You done threw my love away
I moved on a mile away
[Hook: Simi]
Tell me what do I look like?
What do I look like?
Oh you, said you was a good guy
Why you never do right
You wanna play me for a fool
You really wanna play me, play me for a fool
Tell me what you gonna do?
What you gonna do when I'm leaving
[Bridge: M.anifest & Simi]
When I'm leaving you, leaving you
Le-le-leaving you
When I'm leaving you, when I'm leaving you
When I'm leaving you
Le-le-leaving, leaving you
When I'm leaving you, when I'm leaving you
[Outro: Lydia Forson & Efo Mawuli]
Happy people, they don't have time to hate
This world e be one thing, you for dey for the people who dey for you you understand?
In fact, this is the most sensible thing you've said through out our relationship
Erh? That be me
On that note, ma pack me nyama, I'm going to dey for the people who them dey for me, bye bye wai
Oh, faithful soldier, come here
