Dear Mama

🎧 Intro
Mm… yeah
From the struggle we rise…
Makeke… this one na from the heart
A prayer… a story…
🎤 Verse 1 (Childhood / Struggle)
Growing up for the street, where the sun too hot
Empty pot for the fire but we still dey hope
Mama cry for the night, make the pain no show
Told me “son, hold your faith, one day you go glow”
No light, no food, but we dey survive
Every scar wey we carry still dey keep us alive
From the dust of the ground, we dey look above
Only thing wey we get na belief and love
See the tears for her eyes but she still dey strong
Even when all the right things dey always go wrong
I remember those days wey the rain dey fall
Roof dey leak but we still find peace for all
🎶 Hook (Repeat)
Oh Mama, I see your pain, I feel your fight
Through the dark, you still show me light
Makeke stand, we no go fall again
Through the struggle, we go rise again
Oh my people, make we join our hands
Build the future, make we heal our land
From the tears, we go find our way
Better days, we go see one day
🎤 Verse 2 (Hard Times / Reality)
See my people dem dey fight one another
Same blood, but we dey act like stranger
Jealousy and pride, e dey break us down
While the blessing wey we seek still dey around
Everybody want rise but no unity
For the same community, we dey show enmity
If we no come together, how we wan win?
When the battle no be outside, e dey within
I don see dreams wey fade like smoke
I don see strong men break and choke
But still we dey breathe, so hope no die
As long as we stand, we go still try
🎶 Hook (Repeat)
Oh Mama, I see your pain, I feel your fight
Through the dark, you still show me light
Makeke stand, we no go fall again
Through the struggle, we go rise again
Oh my people, make we join our hands
Build the future, make we heal our land
From the tears, we go find our way
Better days, we go see one day
🎤 Verse 3 (Growth / Prayer / Appreciation)
Now I dey pray for the land wey raise me
For every mother wey hustle daily
For every youth wey dey find their way
May the light of God come lead the way
We been fall, but we rise again
Turn the losses into lasting gain
No more hate, make we stand as one
Na together we go get this done
Every blessing wey we dey pray for
Dey inside us, make we open door
If we change our mind and change our ways
We go see better, brighter days
