[Intro: M.anifest]
M dɔ dɔ dɔ ti dɔ, you’re my hero, my friend
Vim things, woodin, you remain my hero, my friend

[Verse 1: M.anifest]
African by nature, but proud by choice
Proud son and father, you can hear it my voice
Anaa wo nnhu?
Mama cares but this is for the papa bears
Surprise gifts catch him unawares
Since grade school, puppy put food on the table
For that, chaley we should be grateful
Now that we’re grown and feeling all willing and able
Tell daddy; I’ll reciprocate you
Learn to talk, learn to walk with his confidence
You saw it in your old man so, edey make sense
Gratitude the right attitude
The fruits don’t fall far from the tree, εyε ampa, it’s true
You’re a part of him, he’s a part of you
Shared memories, joy, tears, barbeques
I mean, look at us, older living our dreams
With creativity, seen? We dey spoil the scene
Wearing woodin, confident kings and queens
Gift him the same watch him really smile and beam
Life’s too short to argue with fools
Life’s too short so give your pops props that’s due
[Hook: M.anifest]
Make you no forget to tell am say;
You’re my hero my friend
Through the struggles, joy and pain
You remain my hero my friend
Nobody be perfect, all the same
You’re my hero, my friend
Dɔ wo maame, nso onua kae wo papa
My hero, my friend
*melodious hum*
My hero, my friend

[Refrain: M.anifest]

You’re a part of him, he’s a part of you
Shared memories, joy, tears, barbecues
I mean, look at us, older living our dreams
With creativity, scene? We dey spoil the scene
Wearing Woodin, confident kings and queens
Gift from the seam, watch him really smile and beam
Life’s too short to argue with fools
Life’s too short so give your pops props that’s due

[Hook: M.anifest]
