(Ayy! Mola, listen close)
(Yeah, from the ground up, we talking legend)
February sixth, eighty-seven, a star was born
Nobody knew the journey would reach the throne
Philip Kenmoe, the name you gotta know
Let the music tell the story, let it flow
When I was a little boy, I was so stubborn, yeah
The football field was my kingdom, I was living there
Playing hide and seek with my brothers, feeling free
School was a dream, but the game was the life for me
Mama would say, 'Philip, go get your education'
I’d grab my bag, head out with pure dedication
But midway through, the mission would rearrange
Straight to the bush, let the playground exchange
I was dodging the books, chasing the ball till the sun went down
Acting like a scholar when I strolled back into town
Yeah, I was a smart one, playing it cool
Nobody knew I was never inside of that school
From a small boy to a man with the master plan
Philip Kenmoe, shaking up all the land
From the village streets to the corporate height
We celebrate the journey, we shining so bright
Yeah, we moving up, never looking back at all
Standing tall, yeah, we answering the call
Years moved fast, the boy had to switch the gear
Trading the ball for the vision, making the path so clear
Hard work in the silence, the grind was the daily bread
Turning every struggle into the crown upon my head
From Douala to the top, the hustle never stops
We planting the seeds and we watching the harvest crops
Now the table is set, the boardroom is the new field
Whatever the challenge, we never ever gonna yield
From a small boy to a man with the master plan
Philip Kenmoe, shaking up all the land
From the village streets to the corporate height
We celebrate the journey, we shining so bright
Yeah, we moving up, never looking back at all
Standing tall, yeah, we answering the call
(Ayy, it’s the evolution!)
(From the bush to the boardroom, mola!)
(Keep rising, keep shining)
Philip Kenmoe, we celebrate you
(Ndem! Nyanga!)
Yeah, we out.
