(Oya, ginger the boy!)
Yeah, Mojetoluwa, stand tall!
Mama’s pride, ten years of grace, no dulling!
(Shey you dey see the glory?)
The day you came into my life, you brought a different kind of light,
My firstborn, my precious boy, you filled my heart with so much joy.
From the little one I used to carry, to the big boy standing before me,
You’ve been so kind, you’ve been so sweet, a beautiful blessing God gave to me.
You understand me, you care for me, your little heart is full of love,
And every time I look at you, I thank the heavens up above.
Mojetoluwa, you are the king of the house,
Mama’s pride, you deserve all the praise and the blouse,
Ten years strong, omo mi, you are the chosen one,
We celebrate today, the rising of the morning sun!
Mojetoluwa, oh, Mojetoluwa!
(E choke!)
Look at you growing, my fine boy, no wahala,
You get the vision, you carry the grace like a soldier,
Friends gather round, the party is starting, let the music play,
It’s your birthday, Mojetoluwa, celebrate the day!
No shaking, no competition, you are the greatest man,
I’m your number one fan, I walk with you, I hold your hand.
Mojetoluwa, you are the king of the house,
Mama’s pride, you deserve all the praise and the blouse,
Ten years strong, omo mi, you are the chosen one,
We celebrate today, the rising of the morning sun!
Mojetoluwa, oh, Mojetoluwa!
(See gobe, the boy is fire!)
Celebrate, celebrate, it’s a big day!
Blessings fall on you in a major way,
From Lagos to the world, your light will shine,
My darling Mojetoluwa, you are doing fine!
(Amen!)
Mojetoluwa, you are the king of the house,
Mama’s pride, you deserve all the praise and the blouse,
Ten years strong, omo mi, you are the chosen one,

Happy birthday, my son, my joy, my life,
Mama is here forever, no matter the strife.
