Odogwu,
rest
in
peace,
boss.
Emeka
is
here,
the
roof-work
boy.
Chief
Osumi
Atata 1,
we
remember
you.
Ah-ah,
see
gobe,
life
is
a
journey.
I
be
Emeka,
I
be
the
roof-work
boy,
Sun
dey
beat
my
back,
I
dey
climb
up
high.
But
before
I
hammer
the
nail
for
the
Agbor
sky,
I
get
one
story,
a
story
that
won't
die.
I
work
for
the
Chief,
for
his
house
in
Abbi
town,
A
man
of
the
people,
he
never
let
us
down.
Osumi
Atata,
the
first
of
his
name,
Your
shadow
was
big,
we
all
shared
in
the
fame.
Osumi
Atata 1,
my
father,
my
chief,
In
Abbi
you
were
king,
beyond
all
belief.
I
guarded
your
gate,
through
the
night
and
the
day,
You
treated
me
like
pikin,
you
showed
me
the
way.
Now
you
don
go,
but
your
spirit
stays
strong,
In
every
heartbeat,
in
every
village
song.
You
call
me, "
Emeka
my
son,
come
close,"
You
feed
me
with
love,
you
were
the
one
I
knew
most.
No
stranger
vibes,
just
a
bond
that
was
pure,
Your
kindness,
Chief,
was
the
only
real
cure.
I
go
back
to
the
roof,
I
hustle
in
the
heat,
But
my
heart
is
in
Abbi,
where
we
used
to
meet.
I
look
at
the
sky,
I
know
you’
re
watching
over
me,
Legacy
of
a
giant,
for
all
the
world
to
see.
Abbi
don
cry,
Agbor
don
cry,
I
don
cry,
But
we
look
to
the
heavens,
up
to
the
high.
Your
name
no
go
die,
it’
s
written
in
the
stone,
In
the
heart
of
the
village,
you
sit
on
the
throne.
No
dulling,
your
memory
is
our
ginger
today.
Osumi
Atata 1,
my
father,
my
chief,
In
Abbi
you
were
king,
beyond
all
belief.
I
guarded
your
gate,
through
the
night
and
the
day,
You
treated
me
like
pikin,
you
showed
me
the
way.
Now
you
don
go,
but
your
spirit
stays
strong,
In
every
heartbeat,
in
every
village
song.
Rest
well,
Chief.
Rest
well,
Papa.
Abbi
will
never
forget.
Emeka
will
never
forget. (

drum
solo

Legend.
On
God.
