(Omo, I dey think about you today)
(Mama, my heart is full)
(Rekiyat Ohunene, you are the world to me)
I look back at the days when the road was rough
You gave me everything, even when it wasn't enough
I remember the story, how you sold the machine
Just to make sure that my future was clean
You traded your sewing to put food on my plate
Fighting the struggle, you defied my fate
Oh Rekiyat Ohunene, you’re the strength in my vein
You washed away my sorrow, you stood in the rain
Mama, I love you, you’re my shining star
No matter the distance, no matter how far
You sold all your wrappers when I was so sick
Your love is the magic, your love is the brick
Building my life, oh, you gave me your all
You caught me, mama, whenever I fall
I love you, Rekiyat, you’re my everything
To you, my heart, this melody I sing
I remember the nights, you told me the tales
Guiding my spirit so my courage won't fail
You hawked in the sun just to keep us alive
You taught me the way that a hero should thrive
You whispered to me that I’d reach for the light
And look at me now, I am winning the fight
Every memory I hold, it brings me to tears
You shielded your baby throughout all the years
Mama, I love you, you’re my shining star
No matter the distance, no matter how far
You sold all your wrappers when I was so sick
Your love is the magic, your love is the brick
Building my life, oh, you gave me your all
You caught me, mama, whenever I fall
I love you, Rekiyat, you’re my everything
To you, my heart, this melody I sing
I see your face in every blessing I claim
I bow my head in honor of your name
Inya Osireiozi, you’re the queen of my soul
You’re the one who made my broken pieces whole
Mama, I love you, you’re my shining star
No matter the distance, no matter how far
You sold all your wrappers when I was so sick
Your love is the magic, your love is the brick
Building my life, oh, you gave me your all
You caught me, mama, whenever I fall
I love you, Rekiyat, you’re my everything
To you, my heart, this melody I sing
I’ll never forget, mama, no never
Your love is a bond that will last forever
(Rekiyat Ohunene)
(You are my queen)
(I love you so much, Mama)
(E choke, you really tried for me)
