(Talking drum rhythm fades in)
Oh, glory!
We celebrate you today, Papa
Odogwu, our leader, our foundation
Listen to the words from our hearts
From the rising of the sun to the end of the day
We look at your life and we have words to say
You build this home with a steady hand
You the strongest man in all the land
Everything I did, I did it for you
Because you showed us the way that is true
Without you, Daddy, where would we be?
You the compass that guides us across the sea
Oh, City Man, we love you so
You are the light that makes us grow
From your wife and the children, the love is deep
A promise to you that we always keep
Oh, Dollarman calling, yeah I love you too
Everything we are is because of you
When the wind blows hard and the road gets rough
You always say that we are enough
You gave your strength so we could stand
Leading this family with a divine plan
No wahala, Baba, you carry us through
Everything I have, I offer to you
Chukwu bless you for the love you share
There is no one else that can compare
Oh, City Man, we love you so
You are the light that makes us grow
From your wife and the children, the love is deep
A promise to you that we always keep
Oh, Dollarman calling, yeah I love you too
Everything we are is because of you
We rise together, we stand as one
Celebrating the work that you have done
(Praise God!)
From the city streets to the heavens above
We pour out our hearts with this heavy love
Oh, City Man, we love you so
You are the light that makes us grow
From your wife and the children, the love is deep
A promise to you that we always keep
Oh, Dollarman calling, yeah I love you too
Everything we are is because of you
We love you, Daddy
Yes, we do, on God!
City Man, you are the best
May you find your rest
Amen, Hallelujah!
