Despite these difficulties, he remains steadfast and determined, illustrated by the line "Hennessy & chaser, Gimme cup don't need no ice." Here, he expresses his desire for peace and tranquility without any added pressures or complications.
The next lines, "I don't need no pressure, I just want some peace of mind, caah, Thought u be my n***a, Still you choose to chop my eyes," suggest a disappointment in someone he thought was a close friend but has betrayed his trust. The metaphor "chop my eyes" implies that this person has deceived or betrayed him. This betrayal might have added to the challenges he faces, making his pursuit of peace of mind more difficult.
The repeated lines in the chorus, "I remember early back in the days, Dem be think say me I don dey craze, Only me know as the thing dey pain, Ooh oooh," express reminiscence and the perception that others may have viewed him as crazy or irrational in the past. However, he knows the true struggles and pain he has endured and overcome.
The following verses highlight the loyalty and support he has received from his friend Emeka during trying times. The lines "Emeka be my guy o, My n***a from the start o, When Mama dey sick Emeka chop my o" portray Emeka as a reliable companion who has been there for him since the beginning. This friendship is emphasized through the repetition of these lines.
The final verse reflects on their bond, highlighting Emeka's generosity and assistance. The names "Chinedum, Chimankpam, Chizaram" are possibly Emeka's siblings or relatives, emphasizing the deep connection they share. The line "Na ilu mma m, Ka cloba noo wee naru aza m" suggests that Emeka is there to protect and support him during difficult times, acting as a shield against any harm that may come his way.
Overall, the lyrics of "My Guy" convey the importance of friendship and support in overcoming life's challenges. Despite the wind blowing against his kite, the pressure, and the betrayal, the song ultimately emphasizes the strength and resilience he finds through the loyalty of his close friend Emeka.
