Onyeka Hakim

Verse

Back in the classroom days, dusty floors and broken chalk,

You were copying my answers every time the teacher walked.

After school I’d teach you math, explain it line by line,

You’d grin and say, “My guy, your brain na divine.”

From football in the street to dreaming out loud,

Two small boys swearing we’d make our parents proud.

No money in our pockets, but faith in our chest,

Side by side, we believed we were blessed.

Pre-chorus

Then 2014 came, took you far away,

I smiled on the outside but inside I prayed.

Best friend leaving, my heart felt the pain,

Didn’t know when I’d see you again.

Chorus

Oh Onyeka Hakim, my day one, my friend,

Even distance couldn’t make this end.

From stolen answers to life’s big test,

You’ve always given me your best.

Under your roof, I stand today,

You never turned your back away.

One day we’ll laugh at where we’ve been,

Ten million dollars, we’ll share and win.

Verse

Years went quiet, no calls, no sound,

Thought our brotherhood couldn’t be found.

But somehow you found my number again,

Like destiny said, “Let this remain.”

You called me up like nothing had changed,

Same old laughter, just lives rearranged.

Even when you traveled across the sea,

You still reached back and remembered me.

Verse

When I broke my leg and couldn’t stand,

You didn’t wait, you stretched your hand.

Sent me money without delay,

Now I’m walking strong today.

Bridge

You’ve sent me money so many times,

I can’t even count or remember the lines.

Blessings on blessings, again and again,

You carried your brother through the pain.

Now I’m under your roof, eating your food,

Grateful heart, in a thankful mood.

Even though now you don’t get my time that much,

Busy chasing greatness and handling stuff —

I know your grind is part of the dream,

Building an empire behind the scenes.

Verse

I may be broke but I’m not done,

My season is coming, it’s just begun.

This chapter won’t define my name,

I’m still destined for wealth and fame.

And when the millions start to show,

You’ll see how far our seeds will grow.

We’ll sit and laugh at yesterday’s proof,

How a king once lived under his brother’s roof.

Chorus

Oh Onyeka Hakim, my brother for life,

You stood with me through joy and strife.

From classroom desks to grown man wins,

You’ve been my strength when hope was thin.

Ten million dollars, we’ll split it clean,

Just two young boys who chased a dream.

Today your house, tomorrow our throne,

But forever — we rise as one.
