(Niphkeys)
Uh, say, I've been tryna live
I've been tryna focus
But nobody know us
Gave me love at no cost
Say the rest na bonus, oh
I've been thinking of someone
Can't say, "Baby, what's up?" Now
Shey before I see you, o do la, mmh
Like igbo na ganja, oh
Like shayo na bastard, oh
Like cigar na cancer
Olosho na person daughter
All the things you do me I gun down
When den thief catch olopa, eh
Say natural disaster
What I got and what I ordered, no custom
I remember when I saw you last time
We said that was the last time
Until I saw you last night
And then we had a nice time, oh
Baby girl, it's high time
I have to know my crime
Would you let me use a lifeline?
'Cause these feeling's for a lifetime, yeah
Don't ruin my happiness
You're the one who's starting this
How I feel about my feelings is my business not yours
But you're bad like your friend
That's why you both move together
I go swear I got you to the end
I swear I'll be your umbrella
I don't wanna get hold by the neck
With my little few, I'm blessed
I don't wanna be by myself
'Cause I'm a mess without you, ooh
Like igbo na ganja, oh
Like shayo na bastard, oh
Like cigar na cancer
Olosho na person daughter
All the things you do me I gun down
When den thief catch olopa, eh
Say natural disaster (disaster)
What I got and what I ordered, no custom
I remember when I saw you last time
We said that was the last time
Until I saw you last night
And then we had a nice time, oh
Baby girl, it's high time
I have to know my crime
Would you let me use a lifeline?
'Cause these feeling's for a lifetime, yeah
If no be God, if no be for Jesu
You see all I get thank you for mercy
That satan wan give me hypertension
But my money don go jollificate (uh)
I need something to break up this spinning wheel
I'm not getting head but dancing in the wind
I just hope I see you once again
I just hope I see you well again
(Timmyjay on the track)
The song "Last Time" by Zinoleesky featuring Niphkeys is a reflection of the artist's emotional struggles and a plea to his love interest to forgive him and come back into his life. The first verse of the song indicates Zinoleesky's emotional turmoil and struggle to maintain focus amidst the ups and downs of life. The love he receives from others is something he cherishes, but he wants more, especially from the person he's been thinking about. He admits to being afraid to approach her and seems to have regretted his past mistakes.
The second verse of the song reflects on the destructive nature of the things that Zinoleesky has been relying on to ease his emotional pain. He likens the therapeutic properties of alcohol and weed to their harmful effects, with "igbo na ganja" and "shayo na bastard." Zinoleesky also confesses that he's been with the wrong crowd, and their lifestyle is having a negative impact on him, as he declares - "Olosho na person daughter."
The chorus is where Zinoleesky recounts his encounter with his ex-lover and how he's been hoping for a second chance. He admits that they both agreed it was over, but seeing her again stirred up old emotions, and he realizes how much he still cares. He begs for a chance to make amends, even if it means using a lifeline, and confesses that his feelings are for a lifetime.
Overall, Zinoleesky's "Last Time" is a heartfelt expression of regret, vulnerability, and the desire for a second chance in love.
