(Talking drum soft roll)
(Spoken) Mama… we still dey here.
We no forget, we no go ever forget.
This one na for you, our guardian angel.
It’s been a while since we hear your voice inside the room
But the smell of your prayer still dey chase away the gloom
Late Mrs. Julianah Jacob, you be the anchor of this boat
You teach us how to stand, you teach us how to float
Omo, the silence in the house, e dey heavy for the heart
But we hold on to the memories, we no fit fall apart
Mama, we miss you, e reach deep inside the bone
You left us with a legacy, you left us with a throne
From your children to the grand-kids, the bloodline remains strong
We sing this tribute for you, mama, where you belong
Rest well, Mama, your light e no go ever fade
We remember every sacrifice and every love you made
The grand-kids ask of you, they say they miss your smile
I tell them you dey heaven, resting for a while
You be the original baddie, the pillar and the stone
Without your prayers, honestly, we for no fit hold our own
We dey feel you for the wind, we dey feel you for the rain
Your memory is the medicine that dey heal all of this pain
Mama, we miss you, e reach deep inside the bone
You left us with a legacy, you left us with a throne
From your children to the grand-kids, the bloodline remains strong
We sing this tribute for you, mama, where you belong
Rest well, Mama, your light e no go ever fade
We remember every sacrifice and every love you made
E no easy, no, e no easy at all
But we go stand tall, we no go ever fall
Because the seed you plant, e don dey germinate
Your love dey guide us, oh, as we navigate
Oluwaseun, we thank God for the time we get with you
Every lesson that you teach, e dey carry us through
Julianah Jacob, your name na crown upon our head
We keep your spirit living, even though you gone ahead
Mama, we miss you, e reach deep inside the bone
You left us with a legacy, you left us with a throne
From your children to the grand-kids, the bloodline remains strong
We sing this tribute for you, mama, where you belong
Rest well, Mama, your light e no go ever fade
We remember every sacrifice and every love you made
Rest on, our queen.
Grand-kids, we carry your fire.
We love you, Mama Julianah.
Sleep well… sleep well.
