Mama and Me

Mama, abeg come siddon

Make we yarn small

I remember when I dey small

You dey tell me stories every night

Now we dey sit for veranda

Talking about life, wetin dey right

You dey ask me how work dey

I dey tell you say e dey go slow slow

You dey smile, say "my pikin

Just dey try, Chukwu go show"

Mama and me, we dey gist oh

From morning till the sun go down

Mama and me, no wahala oh

Your words dey turn my life around

Every story wey you tell

E dey make my heart dey swell

Mama and me, e choke!

You dey ask about the person wey I love

I dey shy, you dey laugh, say "omo!"

You remember when you and papa meet

How una dance for backyard, them no know

Now na my turn to listen well

As you dey share your wisdom true

Mama, this conversation sweet pass jollof

No be lie, I swear for you

Mama and me, we dey gist oh

From morning till the sun go down

Mama and me, no wahala oh

Your words dey turn my life around

Every story wey you tell

E dey make my heart dey swell

Mama and me, God bless you!

Thank you, Mama

For every word
