Happy
birthday,
Maria
Christabel! (
No
dulling!)
We
celebrate
you
today! (
Maria
Christabel,
we
celebrate
you
today!)
Early
morning,
smoke
from
the
pot,
the
suya
heat
Cooking
for
the
street,
making
ends
meet
on
my
feet
From
Obudu
hills
to
the
ranch,
I
carry
my
cross
No
man
by
my
side,
but
I’
m
still
the
boss
Three
little
stars,
my
heart
and
my
soul
For
my
children,
I
go
make
the
story
whole
No
support,
no
backing,
just
faith
in
the
air
But
the
blessing
of
God
is
always
there
Maria
Christabel,
mama
the
greatest
Feeding
the
nation,
you
the
baddest
For
your
birthday,
we
rise
and
we
cheer
No
wahala,
mama,
have
no
fear
Maria
Christabel,
mama
the
greatest
Feeding
the
nation,
you
the
baddest
For
your
birthday,
we
rise
and
we
cheer
No
wahala,
mama,
have
no
fear
Three
kids
in
your
arm,
you
doing
it
right
You
the
sun
that
shine
in
the
dead
of
the
night
Omo,
you
the
queen,
stand
tall
and
proud
Let
the
joy
go
up,
shout
it
out
loud!
Cross
River
blood,
the
spirit
is
strong
I
sing
my
own
rhythm,
I
write
my
own
song
From
the
Obudu
ranch,
the
view
is
so
clear
Looking
at
my
future,
there's
nothing
to
fear
I
trade
my
sweat
for
a
better
tomorrow
Leaving
behind
all
the
pain
and
the
sorrow
My
vendors
stand
up,
let
the
drums
begin
'Cause
a
queen
like
this
is
born
to
win
Maria
Christabel,
mama
the
greatest
Feeding
the
nation,
you
the
baddest
For
your
birthday,
we
rise
and
we
cheer
No
wahala,
mama,
have
no
fear
They
see
the
vendor,
they
don’
t
see
the
grind
They
don’
t
see
the
treasures
that
you
define
Father
and
mother,
you
playing
the
role
Gold
in
your
spirit,
and
fire
in
your
soul
Happy
birthday,
Maria
Christabel! (
See
this
one
oh!)
Keep
shining,
mama
From
Obudu
to
the
world (
No
dulling!)
We
celebrate
you
today!
