The lyrics of the song "Ma Gbega" by Kenny Kore express gratitude, faith, and exhortation to worship the Almighty God. The first stanza repeats the phrase "Moun pé Óluwá" which means "I call on God." The singer acknowledges that they call on God, and in turn, believes that God hears them. The second stanza reveals the singer's personal experiences with God; they testify that God has protected them, been their helper, and watched over them. The phrase "Emin pé Óluwá" is repeated, meaning "I believe in God."
The third stanza is a call to action, asking God to accept their gratitude offering. The phrase "Kó duro gba ope mi" means "Accept my gratitude." The repetition of the phrase "Baba gba ope mi, Omo gba ope mi, Emi mi Mo gba ope mi" further reiterates the gratitude theme of the song. The last stanza is an invitation to dance and lift God up in praise, which is expressed in the various yoruba phrases "gen gen gen", "soké", "if atewo", and "Ma yo Ma-yo". Together, the song encourages listeners to have faith and seek God's protection, leadership, and provision while thanking Him for everything He has done.
