(Oya, listen now)
Funmilola, ehen, ah-ah
My mother, my rock, my shining star
See gobe, you carry everything for head
No dulling, let’s celebrate you today
Many nights you dey work, just to make me smile
You walk through the fire, you walk every mile
No father by your side, but you stand so tall
When the world try to push, you never let me fall
You cooking the jollof, you paying the rent
Every single kobo that you ever spent
It’s for my future, you’re the baddest of them all
I see the strength in you, I’m waiting for the call
Funmilola, you are the queen of my life
You handle the storm, you handle the strife
Funmilola, my superhero in disguise
I see the love of God reflect in your eyes
Omo, you the greatest, you the one for me
My mama, my darling, my reality
People look at you, they don’t know your pain
You dancing in the sun, you dancing in the rain
No wahala for you, you say 'God is in control'
You keep the house warm, you keep the heart whole
You say 'my pikin, make you work very hard'
Every single lesson, I keep it in my yard
I promise to honor you until the very end
You’re my mother, my teacher, my number one friend
Funmilola, you are the queen of my life
You handle the storm, you handle the strife
Funmilola, my superhero in disguise
I see the love of God reflect in your eyes
Omo, you the greatest, you the one for me
My mama, my darling, my reality
(Ginger!)
When I grow up, I want to be like you
Strong, and beautiful, and honest, and true
E choke! The way you carry your head high
Watching you grow, reaching for the sky
So let the drums roll for the queen today
For every sacrifice along the way
I’m singing this for you, so the world can hear
That Funmilola is the one I hold dear
No dulling, we celebrate your name
Without you, mama, I no go be the same
Funmilola, you are the queen of my life
You handle the storm, you handle the strife
Funmilola, my superhero in disguise
I see the love of God reflect in your eyes
Omo, you the greatest, you the one for me
My mama, my darling, my reality
Funmilola, oya dance for me
My queen, my everything
(No wahala)
God bless you, mama
(Shey you dey whine me?)
No, I love you for real
Funmilola, we celebrate you!
