Read the lyrics for “Pepper Me” from the “Barely Legal” project from KFMD, Qing Madi, Zinoleesky. Credits: IBKSLEEK. Available for streaming.
“Pepper Me” opens with a phrase that repeats like a fever: “Pepper me o, pepper me o.” The singer cannot shake the sensation of being near someone whose energy is too sharp, too bright, too much to handle. The chorus follows with a plea dressed as a confession: “Say my body just dey pepper me o.” The word “pepper” does the work. It means excitement, heat, the kind of tension that keeps you awake.

Qing Madi steps in with a line about a vibe that is “legendary o,” a vote of confidence wrapped in a shrug. She asks not to be played “like panpanranran,” a pidgin phrase that warns against games and false moves. Zinoleesky closes with a promise: “You can call me, I go come through. And I promise I will never let you go.” The song ends where it begins, on the same refrain, the same pulse.
