Survivor (Emmni's Song)
A song made by Kathy
(Ogene clangs, talking drum rising)
Chai! No dulling, no dulling at all...
Odogwu Emmni, we see your hustle!
This one is for Mama, on God!
Emmni dey wake before the morning sun dey shine
Street too cold, but the boy dey on the grind
He look his Mama eye, he see the tears she cry
He swear to Chukwu say, "Mama, you must to fly!"
No more generator wahala, no more dry garri
We go buy the Benz, we go buy the big safari
From the trench to the top, na by force
Odogwu Emmni no dey look another man loss!
(Shekere rising, marimba rolling)
Every day, every night, he dey pray
Blessing go rush come his way!
Oya, clear road, make way!
Emmni is a survivor, he no go fall at all at all!
He dey hustle for Mama, he go stand tall!
Wipe the tears, make you smile, Nne m, no worry
Today is the start of a brand new story!
Emmni is a survivor, he go stand tall!
(Odogwu! On God!)
People think say he go fail, but they lie
Emmni is a champion, he dey aim for the sky
Soft life na must, poverty must to japa
No more suffering, no more dry kaka
You be the pillar, the hope of the family
Chukwu dey watch you, He go bless you double-double, wait and see!
Emmni is a survivor, he no go fall at all at all!
He dey hustle for Mama, he go stand tall!
Wipe the tears, make you smile, Nne m, no worry
Today is the start of a brand new story!
Emmni is a survivor, he go stand tall!
(Talking drum rolls, palm wine guitar fades)
Odogwu Emmni!
Mama is smiling now.
No more tears...
Yeah, on God.
Chai!
