(Gentle acoustic guitar strumming)
Ah-ah, see beauty
Oluwa don bless us today
Alheri, you be the story wey we dey tell
Listen now
From the dust and the struggle where you start your journey
Life show you pepper, but you no gree turn back, my sista
Like desert flower blooming for the dry sand
Your head dey high, you carry grace for your right hand
People talk, they say you too firm, you too strong
But they no sabi the fire where you dey carry all along
Alheri Grace, oh, you be the vision
Beautiful, confident, your heart na the mission
No be small thing to stand when the storm dey blow
Alheri Grace, the world must to know
Your beauty na gold, your spirit na fire
My Alheri Grace, you go climb higher
I see you for Lagos traffic, face set, mind focus
No be eye-service, no be matter of locus
You dey build your own empire with steady hand
Stronger than the rhythm of the desert sand
Wahala for anybody wey wan try you, omo!
Because you get that Tuareg blood, you be hero
Alheri Grace, oh, you be the vision
Beautiful, confident, your heart na the mission
No be small thing to stand when the storm dey blow
Alheri Grace, the world must to know
Your beauty na gold, your spirit na fire
My Alheri Grace, you go climb higher
(Violin and keyboard swell)
Through the fire and the rain, you remain the same
Alheri, your name, na blessing be the name
Shey you dey see? No dulling, you don arrive
Na you be the queen, keep the dream alive
Many people try to break your crown, but you stay firm
Like Iroko tree, you withstand the storm term
Confidence dripping like honey for the morning sun
Alheri, you be the chosen, you the lucky one
Chai! See fine girl, see brain, see poise
We dey celebrate you, make them hear the noise
Alheri Grace, oh, you be the vision
Beautiful, confident, your heart na the mission
No be small thing to stand when the storm dey blow
Alheri Grace, the world must to know
Your beauty na gold, your spirit na fire
My Alheri Grace, you go climb higher
Alheri, keep shining, no dulling
Grace for your head, grace for your feet
E choke! The world is yours, my sister
(Violin fades out with talking drum beat)
Alheri Grace, yeah, you the baddest.
