Today I celebrate a special person
My hero… my mentor… my inspiration
My number one fan
The woman wey carry me for womb through pain
My mama… my super mama
Verse 1
Today I celebrate a special person
My hero, my mentor, my inspiration
My number one fan
The one who bore me, my mama
You cheer me up when I’m right
Encourage me when I’m wrong
You show me the way to go
Oh mama, you never let me walk alone
Oh my mama, my super hero
The one who gave me life through pain
My mama, unconditional love giver
My mama, you are my super hero
Pre-Chorus
Even when life hard like stone
Mama still dey carry burden alone
Smile for face but tears for heart
Yet you never let the family fall apart
Chorus
My mama… my super hero
The woman wey fight for me
My mama… unconditional lover
Na your prayers dey cover me
Oh mama… super woman
God really bless me with you
If I sing from now till tomorrow
E no fit finish wetin you do
Verse 2
I remember when I was younger
How you struggle for Oshodi market
Washing feet under bridge for Ikotun-Egbe
Just to support papa make life better
Oh papa, thank you for choosing my mama
See, she still that strong girl till today
Papa, she even stronger pass wetin you know
My mama, you are my super hero
Best friend ever, my comforter, my pillar
Without you mama, I no know how life for be
I know say I for suffer
But your love carry me through everything
Today I want to become everything
Just to make mama proud
But mama no even need all those things
She say:
“Just be happy my little girl, and I am okay.”
God made you my mama for a reason
My super mama

Mama when I say you are strong

Because you don prove say you more than strong
Mama, you are the best
In your hands I see strength
In your eyes I see grace

I don’t know how you describe your mama
But mine na the best lover ever
Strong, fabulous, bold, golden

I still dey wonder
To all the mamas, I celebrate you
Mama wey born mamas
