“peak cinema” explores the intoxicating effect one person can have on another, an affection as dramatic and captivating as a blockbuster movie. The song references Nollywood, the Nigerian film industry, as it captures the whirlwind of emotions and desires surrounding an intense romantic connection.
lyrics
Yeah Yeah
Whose am i?
See me silly wishing that she still be mine
Sisi at the party sipping juice on ice
She don't wanna dance or go buss a wine
No liquor, she only sipping citrus tonight
She no dey answer when i come online jeez
Baby pick up your phone and reply my text please
See butterflies when i look in her eyes
For so long i been thinking it twice
Took some time for me to realize that's why
Dis gyal ah hold me gyal ah hold me hostage
Man ah turn a sing along into a mosh pit
Your body too bad nobody fi touch dis hmm
Gyal you hold me hostage
Hold me Hold me
Oh lord, you're so divine
I'm so in love, i testify
