(Chukwu gozie gi, Mama)
Yeah, this one is for the one who carried the weight
The diamond that never cracks
Our beautiful mother, Mrs Felicia David
Eighteen years of grace, on God!
We love you, Mama
Eighteen years ago, darkness try to fall
When Papa left this world, we felt so small
Five little children, crying in the room
But Mama, you stood tall, you chased away the gloom
No uncle came to help, no broda send us cash
But you told us, "My children, your dreams will never crash"
Odogwu nwanyi, you roll up your sleeve
You told us in the Lord, we must always believe
(Oya, clear the way!)
Mrs Felicia David, you be the champion woman!
You single-handly raise us, you be the superwoman!
From the primary school to university
You paid the bills, you conquered adversity
Now your children and your grand-children dey praise you
Mama, there is nobody quite like you
We love you, we praise you, Chukwu gozie gi!
(Mama o, e choke!)
I remember those days when the pot was dry
But you would go hungry just so we don't cry
You sell your wrappers, you go to the farm
Just to keep your five babies safe from harm
Today, all five children are standing so proud
Degree in our hands, we can scream it out loud
University graduates, because of your sweat
This kind of love, we can never forget
(No cap at all!)
Mrs Felicia David, you be the champion woman!
You single-handly raise us, you be the superwoman!
From the primary school to university
You paid the bills, you conquered adversity
Now your children and your grand-children dey praise you
Mama, there is nobody quite like you
We love you, we praise you, Chukwu gozie gi!
(Nne mo, you too sweet!)
Now look at your house, it is filled with joy
Every little girl, every little boy
Your grand-children are running all over the floor
Singing, "Grandma, we love you, we want more!"
The tears of yesterday have turned into gold
Your beautiful story is being retold
We hold your hands, we kiss your face
You are the queen of this holy place
(Ayee, celebrate her!)
Mama, relax now, your labor is past
The blessings of heaven are here to last
No more crying in the dark of the night
Everything we touch now is shining so bright
We buy you the wrappers, we buy you the car
To us, you will always be the brightest star
Thank you for not giving up on the five
Because of you, we are happy and alive
(On God!)
Mrs Felicia David, you be the champion woman!
You single-handly raise us, you be the superwoman!
From the primary school to university
You paid the bills, you conquered adversity
Now your children and your grand-children dey praise you
Mama, there is nobody quite like you
We love you, we praise you, Chukwu gozie gi!
(Hallelujah!)
Mrs Felicia David, the legend of our home
Eighteen years of victory, you never walk alone
We love you, Mama
From all your children and your grand-children
You are our gold
Chukwu gozie gi forever and ever
Amen, amen!
(E don do, beautiful!)
