“Marry Me” is arguably one of the most defining hits from the Wazup Guy: The Album era, heavily responsible for boosting Falz’s mainstream profile. It’s a collaborative wedding-themed song featuring the vocal powerhouse Yemi Alade and rapper Poe, and it was produced by Spax. The song is famous for its satirical, yet celebratory, take on the social pressure and drama surrounding proposals and weddings.
[Intro: Yemi Alade, Poe]
Classic
Alright
Yemi Alade
Poe
Effyzzie baby
See, you know I've talked to (Yekpa, ye-ah)
Friends, cousins (Falz the Bahd Guy)
You guys have said different things
But you know, I can understand one thing from what you guys are telling me
Let me know if I’m correct
Ha, see
[Verse 1: Poe]
See, I've met so many babes, jealous of their friends
Used to the heartaches, so they've given up on men
But what is depressing is the older they get
And whenever they meet a man, they’re already planning out the wedding, ha
See depression from their nosy family members
Bisi, when did you last date? I'm trying to remember
She too will frown, like what difference does it make?
But she's always at reception and she catches the bouquet
Asking me if it's fate, I don't know what to tell her
She told her pastor she's lonely, he told her to go and pray, ah-ah!
Guy, and that's the problem that we face
You wan't to skip girlfriend and go straight to fiancé
So I pray for my sisters, cousins, ex-lovers
This girl, that girl, even divorced mothers
Smile, toast with some Chardonnay
I have to see you when we spraying on a Saturday
[Chorus: Yemi Alade]
See me see trouble
Brother you go marry me o (Marry me o)
See me see trouble
When you go marry me o?
See we’ve been dating for many years now
You want to leave me follow Fola
See me see trouble, ah
You go marry me o
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, eh-eh, eh eh, e yeah eh
[Verse 2: Falz]
She say mi o’gbon yeah
No, I no want no story
I can't befriend you if you don’t propose to me
If you didn't know, wo aburo mi ti marry
Emi o young
Motife darugbo physically
You know, I'm not a small girl, you know my age
Even Bola wey no fine sef, she don engage
It will not work, uhn, shey emi l'on korin fun?
Don’t call me honey if we will not go for honeymoon
If you don't pick a date, we might not get to date
Don't get it twisted, it's not like I'm desperate
I just have a lifetime plan and it's getting late
I want to be a Mrs. by the time I'm 28
Brother John said the Lord said his wife is me
But that vision is for only his eyes to see
I want a man that is handsome and God fearing
If he can love me with his heart and I'm not sharing
[Chorus: Yemi Alade]
See me see trouble
Brother you go marry me o (Marry me o)
See me see trouble
When you go marry me o?
See we've been dating for many years now
You want to leave me follow Fola
See me see trouble, ah
You go marry me o
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, eh-eh, eh eh, e yeah eh
[Verse 3: Yemi Alade]
You don't wanna marry me, you just wanna friend me
Brother you be donkey oh
Shebi you dey tell me, we go go Miami
When we go see mommy oh? (Yeah)
Why you dey do me so?
All of my friends dem don marry go
Right now, my brother, I'm 28
All of the boys no dey come my gate
[Verse 4: Falz]
Baby I'm loving all the love that you've shown (That you've shown)
Everytime you call me and we talk on the phone (On the phone)
See man cannot be a boss on his own
He needs somebody to give him support on your throne
Oh, if you ready for the question and go
I'm like, “What you mean?”
She say, “stop, joor, you know”
So are you saying I no fine reach so?
Emi high class, ehn omo lepa sirinko
Wo, me and you was just a incident
We can't be sleeping together because we dream different
Ah, I'm even thinking that you are still decent
You are irritating, nyama I'm seeing Vincent
Ehn, my last boyfriend is still recent
I was happy, our love was a ingredient, yeah
So for me, this dating thing is dead
He broke my heart, you are repeating all the things he said
[Chorus: Yemi Alade]
See me see trouble
Brother you go marry me o (Marry me o)
See me see trouble
When you go marry me o?
See we've been dating for many years now
You want to leave me follow Fola
See me see trouble, ah
You go marry me o
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, eh-eh, eh eh
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, today, today
Today, today eh, eh-eh, eh eh, e yeah eh
