The lyrics to Young Jonn's song Next To You talk about wanting to be close to the person he loves. He expresses that even when he receives something small from that person, he still wants more because they energize him in a way that nobody else has been able to do before. He says he feels like he is suffocating without them close to him and he wishes to wake up next to them.
The chorus repeats the word "koko," which is a reference to a Nigerian slang word that means "lies." It's used in the context of a person saying something that isn't true or is misleading. Young Jonn uses it ironically in the song, since he's saying he wants to be close to the person he loves, even if he's in a different place (Sokoto).
In the second verse, he compares the person he loves to his coffee in the morning, referring to the fact that they start his day off right and get him going. He says that even if he's dreaming, he doesn't want to wake up, because he needs that feeling of being close to them. He also mentions that he would spend all his money on that person and wants to introduce them to his family.
Overall, the song is a romantic expression of a desire to be close to someone and have them be a part of one's life, even if it means overcoming barriers of distance or other challenges.
