Lyrics
[Chorus]
My mama tell me say surulere (Surulere gan-an ni)
To ba focus o ma gbọpẹ, o (Ma kere gan-an ni)
Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)
Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)
Ko sẹni to ye rara, Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye
[Verse 1]
Tears might fall from my eyes only this time
Can now my mums crying and my sister
Crying can I just won a MOBO for the 6th time
I let my soul glow and my wrist shine
Remember back in 2013 you were giving me an earful
Now it's lit when I drop to the airport
I took a leap of faith and it scared you
We go merc and I let you pick a vehicle
Never had food but you catered
Came at a cost but you paid it
Don't know how we did but we made it
Highly blessed and favoured
Now my tom ford 's all tailored
God's children can never be failures
Mysterious ways that he works in, but he's still working, certain
[Chorus]
My mama tell me say surulere (Surulere gan-an ni)
To ba focus o ma gbọpẹ (O ma kere gan-an ni)
Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)
Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)
Ko sẹni to ye rara, Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye
[Verse 2]
Mo n gbadura
Lojoojumọ mo fi n pe ya Allahu
Owo yẹn wọle is allowed
Ọkan mi balẹ emi o fọ, emi o fọ o
Yah Baba
Iwọ lo le gba mi Baba
Mo fẹ trabaye wọ kaba
Ẹlẹda ma jẹ ki n kalas, ki n kalas
Forget ẹ ọmọ gbagbe yẹn
More blessings incoming I can tell
Iwọ t'ọn ri o kan ṣọpẹ ti ẹ
Gba ko jẹ, o ya gba ko jẹ
Mama say ma lọ ma gara ju
Kupe kupe ma lọ ma ṣe aṣeju
Lati SS2 mo ti n kọrin mi o dẹ sun
Oluwa ṣọ mi o dẹ ṣilẹkun, ẹ filẹ fun
[Chorus]
My mama tell me say surulere (Surulere gan-an ni)
To ba focus o ma gbọpẹ (O ma kere gan-an ni)
Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)
Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)
Ko sẹni to ye rara, Iṣẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye
[Verse 3]
Tears won't fall from my eyes but my chest hurts
I'd cry to the Lord can it get worse
I was kinda cool where I was Cah it's less work
You gotta dream better dive it in it head first
This wasn't a dream it was more like a plan I believed in
My detour had Abigail seething
Rachael telling her to leave him
I put her through all 5 stages of grieving
Denying my minds set, anger was direct, you bargained with me but I had to decline it
Sad for a while, never smiled but you left it
I said mum now you got accept it
One day imma be a star I swear
One day imma go far I swear
God has a plan so I have no fear, no fear
