Pheelz Mr producer

Moranti igba tama fi adi agbon se lotion
Tama je rice epo ati iresi aroso
Tiko sata ko seran ko seyin
But we dey ok teba ti rimi rerin eee

Ebami ki ebami ki ebami ki mama mi o
Ebami ki ebami ki ebami ki mama mi o

Na you biko mummy rora ma gbese mummy e
Bi mummy o lowo lowo abi bi mummy o risi lekan
Ti mummy no go let me down my mummy no go sell ata oya

Moranti igba tama fi adi agbon se lotion

Mother reclothed me the same Christmas wear she bought for previous year in 1987 Christmas. Tears ran down her face as she looked down my pant and it couldnt reach my ankle. I looked at her with a smile and said everything will be okay. Now 2016 she has two newly built houses courtesy of her children. I love you mother ang your labor of love will not go unrewarded.
