Nna! Hear the story of a boy, a survivor
Life is a movie, let the music play
Born in the streets of Bode Olude, Abeokuta town
A young boy dreaming, watching the sun going down
My father walked away when I was only fourteen
My mama became the shield, the strongest queen I’ve seen
Still in secondary school, trying to find my way
Working as a bricklayer for a little daily pay
Chai! The sun was hot, the work was tough and long
But inside my spirit, I was singing a victory song
Oh, my life is a movie, written by the hand of God
From the dust of the ground, I’m rising up against the odds
Through the struggle, through the pain, through the stormy weather
Omo, my story is getting better, we go win together
My mama’s prayers are the fuel that keep my fire bright
I’m moving from the shadows straight into the morning light
I tried the aluminum work, but hunger was the boss
I couldn't finish up, I had to measure up the loss
So I packed my little bag and I headed down to Lagos
City of the bold, where only the strong can chase the logos
Sleeping on the streets when the night would catch me cold
But in my heart, I had a secret that was never sold
Then I met an engineer, he asked me, can you work?
I said, give me the task, I will never let it shirk
Oh, my life is a movie, written by the hand of God
From the dust of the ground, I’m rising up against the odds
Through the struggle, through the pain, through the stormy weather
Omo, my story is getting better, we go win together
My mama’s prayers are the fuel that keep my fire bright
I’m moving from the shadows straight into the morning light
Chop life, but keep the hustle steady in your hand
From Lagos back to Sango, across the shifting sand
Now I’m working maintenance, building up my space
Look at me now, look at the smile upon my face
Oya, give thanks for the journey, give thanks for the climb
I’m stepping into glory, one day at a time
Mama keep calling, praying every single day
Asking if I’ve eaten, if I’m okay in every way
I tell her, Mama, don’t worry, your son is standing tall
Brick by brick, I’m building, I’m never gonna fall
From the boy in Abeokuta to the man I’m becoming now
Life tried to break me, but I never bowed
Chai, the grace is sufficient, the victory is near
I’ve conquered the doubt, I’ve conquered every fear
Oh, my life is a movie, written by the hand of God
From the dust of the ground, I’m rising up against the odds
Through the struggle, through the pain, through the stormy weather
Omo, my story is getting better, we go win together
My mama’s prayers are the fuel that keep my fire bright
I’m moving from the shadows straight into the morning light
Yeah, it’s a long road, but we made it
From Bode Olude to the world, never faded
Omalicha life, we keep moving, we keep climbing
Everything is aligning, yeah, we keep shining
Nna! We done grow now.
