LOVE IS EVIL? [Intro – soft piano, distant choir, rain ambience] [Spoken Word] I gave my all… Not once… Twice. And both times, I buried pieces of myself In gardens that never intended to grow me. Sometimes you give your everything… And get nothing at all. Sometimes you love someone Who only loves what you can do for them. You call them treasure… While they treat you like a tool. You build a home… While they build a prison. ⸻ [Verse 1] Ngamthanda ngenhliziyo yami yonke, Ngamnika konke enganginakho. Ngahlupheka ngimamatheka, Ngithemba ukuthi uthando luzongiphilisa. ( I loved with all my heart, I gave everything I had. I suffered while smiling, Believing love would heal me. ) But love became a weapon, Hidden behind beautiful eyes. She said forever… But forever died young. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Ba lelanda ifyo walefwaya, Ba fwaya ifya iwe wine. (They want what you want, They want what belongs to you.) People want ownership, Not partnership. Control… Not commitment. Possession… Not affection. ⸻ [Chorus] Love is evil… Love is evil… Ngabe uthando luyingozi na? (Is love dangerous?) Love is evil… Love is evil… Or are we the evil ones Pretending to know love? ⸻ [Verse 2 – Nigerian Influence] Dem say “I love you” Na the easiest lie for mouth. Some dey use am collect hearts, Some dey use am collect bodies. Some dey use am build kingdoms, Then abandon the people wey build am. “I love you” Three words. But many graves. Three words. But many tears. Three words. But many broken promises. ⸻ [Spoken Word Breakdown] “I love you” The most spoken sentence On earth. And somehow… The most expensive. It has made liars out of pastors. Made hypocrites out of prophets. Condemned virgins. Crippled running men. Turned queens into manipulators. Turned kings into beggars. Corrupted seeds Before they could even sprout. Destroyed families. Started wars. Ended destinies. All in the name of… Love. ⸻ [Bridge – Choir rises] Nkulunkulu… Tell me the truth. Lesa… Tell me the truth. Jehovah… Tell me the truth. If love comes from You… Why does it hurt so much? If love is holy… Why are its scars so deep? If love is life… Why does it feel like death? ⸻ [Final Chorus – Powerful] Love is evil… Love is evil… Ngithi uthando luyabulala. (I say love can kill.) Love is evil… Love is evil… But maybe… Maybe love is not evil. Maybe people are. Maybe love never betrayed me. Maybe people did. Maybe love never lied. Maybe people did. Maybe love is still holy… And we’re the ones Who keep crucifying it. ⸻ [Outro – Piano Only] I gave my all… Twice. And both times I lost. But one day… I will find a love That doesn’t need control. That doesn’t need lies. That doesn’t need masks. And when that day comes… I won’t call love evil anymore. I’ll call it home.
