Nkechi is a bird, I’m an ambitious butterfly
I dream to fly high and own the sky
I’m that lizard with crocodile dreams
Agnes and Nkem are mere streams
I’m sick of swimming in these small lakes
They are all millipedes, Nkechi is a snake
I’ve said my bit on this matter, Nkechi calls
See you later, I’m chasing waterfalls

For the love of Nkechi, let me chase waterfalls
But to date Nkechi, you must have gravel for balls
You must be born with a diamond spoon
Are you ready to pluck the moon?
You must offer Jupiter upon her thighs
Then you fast and pray that all these catch her eyes
Nkechi’s beauty tempts me with beckoning songs
Now I’m using my teeth to count my tongue

My mum said “quit chasing waterfalls”
Such confining words just build high walls
My love for Nkechi should be written on the cloud
Her beauty is a melody, the drumbeat is loud
I’ve been gobbled by her fire
We keep rolling, family and friends done talk tire
Call it “one chance”, I have stone for ears
It’s just Nkechi and I against the family and peers

She’s the poison I have
When she’s gone, I starve
I cheer (chair) when she treats me like stool
In fact, my head is her footstool
This love is an equation I am yet to solve
Can my teardrops quench the fire of our love?
Maybe it is something I can’t afford
But I’m paying heavily for it, love is a chopping board

Nkechi my poison, Nkechi my antidote
I wish she loves me more than naira notes
The waves of Nkem ring a bell
Agnes, on your creeks I used to pick sea shells
I remember how I used to suck your piom piom
O! Nkechi’s beauty ends on the kom kom
The content I can’t handle, a world of flies
Now on which river will I wash my eyes?
