The song "Marry Me" by Yemi Alade has a deep message that address the issue of being in a long-term relationship without any prospects of marriage. In the first verse, Poe reflects on the struggles faced by women who have given up on love and marriage because of previous heartbreaks. He also touches on the pressure faced by women to get married, especially from nosy family members. Falz, in the second verse, brings to light the expectations of women when it comes to marriage. He highlights the need for men to be clear about their intentions, pick a date and follow through with it. Finally, Yemi Alade, in the third verse, expresses the frustration of being in a long-term relationship without any clear commitment to marriage, something most women can relate to.
In summary, the song is about women who have invested a significant amount of time in their relationships with their partners, hoping to get married someday. However, their partners seem to be reluctant to take the relationship to the next level. The lyrics also reflect society's expectations of women, who are often pressured to get married at a certain age. The song encourages men to be open about their intentions and for women not to settle for less.

I've talked to several women who have had bad experiences with men, which has caused them to lose faith in love. They have grown increasingly reluctant to pursue any romantic relationships. However, it is worrisome that regardless of these women's attitude towards love, when they finally meet a man, they jump straight to thinking of marriage.
See depression from their nosy family
Members, bisi when did you last
Date I'm trying to remember
She too will frown, like what
Diffremce 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 the story
He told her go and pray ah-ah
Their family members often add to their misery with unhelpful comments. They endure frowns and questions about their love life. Family members often suggest praying to their God for a solution to their problems.
Guy, that the problem that we face
You don't to skip girlfriend and go
Straight to fianc?e
So I pray for ma sisters, cousins,
Ex-lovers, this girl that girl even
divorced mothers
Smile,,
The problem lies in the desire to jump straight from dating to being engaged. It isn't easy to find the right person, so I pray for the happiness of all the women in my life, regardless of their romantic status.
See me see trouble

Heyah
I'm in trouble because I'm not sure if the man I'm dating is serious about me. We've been dating for a long time, and now he's considering leaving me for someone else. I need to know when he's going to commit to me through marriage.
She say o'gbon yea
No, I no want no story
I can't befriend you if you no
Propose to me
If you didn't know, w'oo aburomi tI
Marry, emi'o young
She won't tolerate any games. She's not open to the idea of being just friends if a man doesn't have marriage in mind. Time isn't on her side, so she needs to know that he's serious about settling down when he says he is.
Motife darugbo physically
You know, i'm not a small
Girl, you know my age
Even bola wey no fine sev don

Heyeh
She's not one to settle for anything less than a handsome, godly man who will cherish her and make up for the fact that she's not getting any younger. Her desire to get married by the age of 28 is part of her life's plan, so she won't waste time on men who can't commit. She doesn't want to be just a girlfriend, and if a man isn't willing to go on a honeymoon with her, he's not worth her time. Any visions he may have of a future with her are his alone to bear.
You don't wanna marry me
You just wanna friend me
Brother you be donkey oh
Shebi you tell me we go, go Miami
When we go see mami oh, yea
Why you dey do me so
All of ma friends dem don marry go
Right now my brother I'm 28
All of the boys no dey come

Baby I'm loving all the love that

It's clear to her that he doesn't want to marry her; he's content to just be friends. She doesn't understand why he'd paint a picture of a future with her in Miami if he's not serious. All her friends are married, so it's frustrating to her that it's not happening for her. He's got a lot of the qualities she's been looking for, but he's not stepping up. She is reminded that a man needs support just as much as he must lead. She's annoyed with the game he's playing, knowing full well that they don't dream the same. She's considering whether he's really serious, or if he's just like any other guy who has come before him.

one of the hardest working female artiste. Never easy to combine salsa with our local melody. Beautiful work of art. She is truly a bundle of talent. Never a disappointment with Yemi.

I love how Yemi has never tried to be skinny, and she flaunts it so well. Beutiful representation of Africa with the Nigerian slang ans everything else
