(Soft palm wine guitar plays)
Ah-ah, Baba mi...
Taiwo, your legacy dey live on.
Chai. Thank you for everything.
I remember the sweat on your brow
How you hustled make we get food to chop
You say "my pikin, make you stand tall"
Even when NEPA light dey go, your love never stop
You block the rain make I see the sun
Omo, the sacrifice you make for me, e big heavy
Now you dey sleep with the angels above
But your lessons dey inside my heart, steady-steady
Oh Baba Taiwo, I dey thank you oh!
Your memory dey ginger my soul
No be lie, you be my hero
I go make you proud, that one na my goal
Sun re o, Baba mi
Your love dey guide me, where I dey go
People say I resemble your smile
Every step I take, I see your shadow for road
You teach me say make I get big heart
Make I no ever bow to heavy load
You show me say family na the ultimate gold
So I hold onto your name, I hold it tight
You paved the way for your pikin
Now your star dey shine for my night
Oh Baba Taiwo, I dey thank you oh!
Your memory dey ginger my soul
No be lie, you be my hero
I go make you proud, that one na my goal
Sun re o, Baba mi
Your love dey guide me, where I dey go
Rest well, Baba Taiwo
You try for me...
Your legacy dey live on...
Sun re o...
