Verse 1

Mummy Daddy, see your pikin now, eh?

Four walls and books dem scatter everywhere

You sacrifice, you pray, you believe

When I stumble, you pick me up sha

Teachers, you open my eyes to the light

Patience and wisdom, you give me the fight

Morning to night, you never give up

Now I stand tall, my cup full up

Chorus

Eku ile, eku ile, I'm grateful today (grateful today!)

Mummy, Daddy, teachers, I say thank you, thank you, thank you

E choke! No cap, you shaped my way (shaped my way!)

From the struggle to the shine, na una guide my lane

Eku ile, eku ile!

Verse 2

Ma, your hands work hard, I see the hustle

Da, your words strong, they build my muscle

Teachers, you plant the seed in my head

Watered it daily until I spread

Every correction, every lesson learned

Every moment that I earned

This certificate, it's not just paper, no

It's your love wrapped up in gold

Chorus

Eku ile, eku ile, I'm grateful today (grateful today!)

Mummy, Daddy, teachers, I say thank you, thank you, thank you

E choke! No cap, you shaped my way (shaped my way!)

From the struggle to the shine, na una guide my lane
