[male

Mmm,
yeah)
Iya
Emma,
yeah
This
one
is
for
you,
my
queen
I
remember
the
days
when
I
was
just
a
baby
You
held
me
close,
kept
me
safe
from
the
cold
When
I
turned
seven,
the
world
turned
gray
We
lost
my
father,
he
was
taken
away
A
full
house
wife
with
seven
mouths
to
feed
You
planted
the
garden,
you
scattered
the
seed
What
were
we
going
to
do?
Where
would
we
go?
You
turned
all
our
tears
into
a
steady
flow
Iya
mi,
you’
re
the
mother
of
the
children
You
carried
me
on
your
back,
through
the
thick
and
the
thin
Iya
ni
iya
mi,
my
heart,
my
soul
You’
re
the
only
reason
that
I’
m
standing
whole
Oh,
Iya
Emma,
my
shield
and
my
light
You
guided
my
steps
through
the
darkest
of
nights
Seven
kids
in
the
house,
yeah
you
did
it
alone
Sent
us
to
school,
built
a
base,
built
a
throne
Through
every
obstacle,
you
never
bowed
down
You
wore
your
struggles
like
a
golden
crown
What
was
piled
up
against
me,
couldn't
make
me
fail
'Cause
you
were
the
anchor,
you
were
the
sail
I
need
you,
baby,
yeah,
I
need
your
grace
I
see
my
whole
life
reflected
in
your
face
Iya
mi,
you’
re
the
mother
of
the
children
You
carried
me
on
your
back,
through
the
thick
and
the
thin
Iya
ni
iya
mi,
my
heart,
my
soul
You’
re
the
only
reason
that
I’
m
standing
whole
Oh,
Iya
Emma,
my
shield
and
my
light
You
guided
my
steps
through
the
darkest
of
nights
Who
would
I
be
without
you,
Mama?
Who
would
have
saved
me
from
the
world
but
you?
I
owe
every
breath
to
the
love
that
you
gave
You’
re
the
reason
I’
m
brave,
yeah,
you’
re
the
reason
I’
m
brave (
Come
here,
Mama,
let
me
hold
you)
So
many
nights
you
went
without
to
ensure
I
could
eat
Your
sacrifice
is
the
rhythm
of
my
heartbeat
From
the
small
humble
beginnings
to
where
I
am
now
I’
m
wiping
the
sweat
from
your
beautiful
brow
Iya
ni
iya
mi,
my
heaven
on
earth
I
celebrate
you
for
all
that
you’
re
worth
Iya
mi,
you’
re
the
mother
of
the
children
You
carried
me
on
your
back,
through
the
thick
and
the
thin
Iya
ni
iya
mi,
my
heart,
my
soul
You’
re
the
only
reason
that
I’
m
standing
whole
Oh,
Iya
Emma,
my
shield
and
my
light
You
guided
my
steps
through
the
darkest
of
nights
Iya
mi,
Iya
Emma
You
carried
me,
you
carried
me
Yeah,
you’
re
the
only
one
I
love
you,
Mama (
Mmm,
yeah)
Rest
now,
my
queen.
