On todayās presentation, I picked out American Love by Qing Madi as itās just the perfect song for the season. This choice wasnāt just influenced by Valentine so Iāll share a quick story.
Last week Friday (9th Feb.) was the birthday of a friend Iād admit Iāve developed feelings for. Prior to that day, I had planned in my head to gift him sth because I found him deserving but I had no idea what to gift him. I didnāt want to do something basic but at the same time nothing too extra.
On Thursday, I had paid for his gift items and it was to an Instagram vendor, I donāt know this vendor in person, and unfortunately he said he didnāt get an alert. I was stuck between sending another payment and waiting for a refund of the previous one. Unwilling to take chances, I paid a second time because I wanted this surprise to happen on his birthday.
I wrote a heartfelt note too. For the first time, I allowed myself to really speak from my heart and I was more glad that he loved it.
It was on this day that I heard Qing Madiās American Love and it was just perfect for the moment. The lines that busted my brain was:
āAnd Iāmma give you some hmm Nigerian love,
Carry you go Jalingo
Anywhere you want to go, anywhere you want to go
Bet you never met a girl you go wife up o,
And Iāmma hold you downā
Before this birthday, in one of our conversations he had mentioned not receiving gifts in recent times and I told him I was about to change the story but I could tell he didnāt take me seriously.
He really appreciated the gift and he was so happy, this was just enough for me.
With this presentation, Iām imploring on ladies to love their men a little extra. Today is Valentine, a lot of ladies will sit and cross their legs expecting the men to break the bank for them. Thatās okay but how about you give out the same energy you expect especially to men. How about you promise to love that man through thick and thin? Letās spread the love around.
Happy Valentineās Day!
QING MADI - AMERICAN LOVE [Lyrics]
Travelled round the world, I no cast
But if I climb the train, e don pass you
Traveled round the world, now I found you
And if I catch the plane, e don catch
AndāIāhopeāyou gonā flyāaway today, aje
Yeah,āI hope you gonā fly away today, aje
Mmm, but you know say I fly
So no dey reject me, oh Iām calling
I dey try, but you no dey get me ti ba n kį»rin
You go like fly
Allow me to spoil you with my money
You don cover my, cover my head oh
Bet you never met a girl you go wife up oh
And Iāmma hold you down oh
Bet you never met a girl you go wife up oh
And Iāmma hold you down oh
Hold you down with no excuse
Nobody fit damn you
BŠµt you never met a girl you go wifŠµ up oh
And Iāmma hold you down oh, down oh
