(Ayy, yoh)
Yeah, this one is for you, Mama
Rosemary Matanada, you the realest
Listen
When the world was cold and the doors were shut
When my life hit the floor and I was stuck in a rut
All my friends turned away, left me in the rain
But you walked in the room and you took all the pain
You held me up, Mama, you gave me a reason
To keep on pushing through every single season
You taught me how to stand, how to be a man
Guided by your grace, fulfilling the plan
Oh, Rosemary Matanada, you are my light
Giving me hope in the middle of the night
I’m praying to God, let Him keep you for me
So you can enjoy the fruits of this tree
Oh, Mama, you’re the best that I ever knew
Everything I am, it all comes from you
(Eish, blessings!)
I’m fighting hard, yeah, I’m grinding every day
Just to see that smile wipe the worries away
You planted the seed, now watch how it grows
Through all of the highs and the lowest of lows
I won’t give up, no, I’ll never retreat
Putting the world right here at your feet
My mentor, my hero, my heart and my soul
You’re the one who keeps me whole
Oh, Rosemary Matanada, you are my light
Giving me hope in the middle of the night
I’m praying to God, let Him keep you for me
So you can enjoy the fruits of this tree
Oh, Mama, you’re the best that I ever knew
Everything I am, it all comes from you
May the Lord bless you, keep you, and guide you
I’ll always be right here standing beside you
Your legacy lives in the man that I’ve become
You’re the only one, Mama, you’re the only one
Oh, Rosemary Matanada, you are my light
Giving me hope in the middle of the night
I’m praying to God, let Him keep you for me
So you can enjoy the fruits of this tree
Oh, Mama, you’re the best that I ever knew
Everything I am, it all comes from you
Yeah, Kalasa on the track, Mama
Rosemary Matanada, you the queen
Keep shining, keep blessing
(Ayy, yoh)
I love you, Mama
(Blessings)
