(Chale, listen up)
Yeah, for the one who gave me life
Through the storm, through the fire
Mama, you the realest one, no cap
Let's go!
Early morning dew, you was on your feet
Fighting for your children, dodging every defeat
Market sun, Lagos heat, you dey brave the breeze
Looking for the jara, putting bread on the knees
I remember the nights, empty pot, empty plate
You say 'Chale, don't worry, God controls our fate'
Sacrifice was heavy, the burden was real
You taught me how to handle, you taught me how to feel
Odogwu mother, you the queen of the coast
Of all the people living, I love you the most
Your sacrifices live within my very soul
With you by my side, I am fully in control
Odogwu mother, shine like a star
Everywhere I go, I carry who you are
Yeah, you the greatest, you the real MVP
Forever in my heart, for the world to see
Look at me now, I’m standing so tall
Because you held my hand so I never fall
Lessons in the kitchen, wisdom in the street
You told me keep it moving, never accept defeat
No be small thing, the way you dey push
Even when the road dey rough, you dey brush the bush
Respect to the woman, the lion in the house
Stronger than the tiger, quieter than a mouse
Odogwu mother, you the queen of the coast
Of all the people living, I love you the most
Your sacrifices live within my very soul
With you by my side, I am fully in control
Odogwu mother, shine like a star
Everywhere I go, I carry who you are
Yeah, you the greatest, you the real MVP
Forever in my heart, for the world to see
Herh! You gave me your spirit
You gave me your light
Every single day, I’m chasing the height
No wahala, no fear, because I know your name
Mother, your love, it no dey stay the same
Odogwu mother, you the queen of the coast
Of all the people living, I love you the most
Your sacrifices live within my very soul
With you by my side, I am fully in control
Odogwu mother, shine like a star
Everywhere I go, I carry who you are
Yeah, you the greatest, you the real MVP
Forever in my heart, for the world to see
Eiii! Yeah, for my mama
Uncompromising love, that’s all I know
We dey go, we no dey stop
Chale, respect your mother!
As3m!
