Intro (spoken/sung, torchy and slow):
(Over a lone, smoky piano chord)
"You sabi… you sabi say I be mumu for dem quiet kind.
Dem kind wey dey smile as dem dey sharpen knife.
You no ever talk say you love me—you just let me hang myself with hope." Blakk Pot, e good well well

Verse 1
You sabi well well say you no ever love me
Still you let me fall like rain for July
Whispered sweet nothings just to watch me break
Now I dey stand here with ashes for my eyes
Chorus
Wicked for heart, wicked and slow
You take my trust and watch am go
I stand for rain, I burn for sun
You let me rise, then come undone
Now I no know if love fit find me whole
Wicked for heart—you damn my soul
Verse 2
Day and night I stay inside your shadow
Drenched in devotion, blind to the lie
My sweat cover the hurt you keep on giving
You blame me every time you make me cry
Chorus
Wicked for heart, wicked and slow
You take my trust and watch am go
I stand for rain, I burn for sun
You let me rise, then come undone
Now I no know if love fit find me whole
Wicked for heart—you damn my soul
Verse 3
You wake me up just to drown me deeper
Hold door wide then slam am for my face
Now I dey ask empty rooms the same question
Will I ever trust a warm embrace?
Outro Chorus (slower, aching)
Wicked for heart… you no ever love me
Still I bend my knees just to feel the fall
I no sure say I go ever love again
But I sure say you no ever love me at all
Blakk Pot to the world
