Afrobeat
Lyrics
Description
The beat is steady and warm
See the lines for your face, I put them there
With my troubles and my worries, I go share
But you never complain, you just dey pray
That God go guide your pikin, every day
Now I'm older and I see the things you see
The sacrifice wey you make, just for me
Mama, my Mama, my Mama
I remember when I was small, you hold my hand
Through the rain and through the sun, you make me stand
Every scrape, every tear, you wey dey near
With your smile, you take away my fear
Many nights you walk so high, it no easy
For your love wey dey bust my body, make me crazy
For your pikin, you go give your very best
Now I look at you, you need to ask
Now you be the one wey show me how to pray
Now you be the one wey catch me when I fall
Anywhere I go, no matter what they say
Now your pikin, I remain, I give you my all
Mama, you be my Pedro
The only one wey dey make wey hush my truth
For inside this life, wey plenty wah all I do
Now your love, Mama, I dey run to
Mama, you be my Pedro
The only one wey dey make wey hush my truth
For inside this life, wey plenty wah all I do
Now your love, Mama, I dey run to
Oh, my Mama
Oh, my Pedro
Oh, my Mama
Oh, my Mama
Nobody fit to do the things wey you do
See the lines for your face, I put them there
Make my troubles and my worries, I go share
But you never complain, you just dey pray
That God go guide your pikin everyday
Now I'm older and I see the things you see
The sacrifice wey you make just for me
I don't fi pay you back, no how, no way
Just one love you, Mama, every single day
Now you be the one wey shoot me out to pray
Now you be the one wey catch me when I fall
Plenty wey I go, no matter what they say
Now your pikin I remain, I give you my heart
You be my Pedro
The only one wey dey make wey hush my truth
For inside this life, wey plenty wah all I do
Now your love, Mama, I dey run to
Oh, my Mama
The only one wey dey make wey hush my truth
For inside this life, wey plenty wah all I do
Now your love, Mama, I dey run to
Oh, my Mama
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
