MAKA : “Precious Stone”
Lagos based soul singer Maka is back in the forefront with her first single for the year entitled “Precious Stone”. The record is a passionate tribute to all mothers who regardless of the challenges they face still pull through to give their children the life they richly deserve. Inspired by Maka’s own mother whose name Ojiugo means Precious Stone in the Igbo language. Over a reflective horn-driven backdrop, Maka delivers a rousing performance that starts off mellow and rises to a crescendo as she reaches deep into her emotions. She talks about her childhood in a single parent home (she lost her dad at a very young age), the ups and downs but most importantly how her mother has continued to support her dream regardless of all the challenges they face.
“Precious Stone” was produced by Producer/DJ Teck-Zilla of Str8Buttah Productions.

lyrics

I ask myself a lotta times why I haven't done a love song for you, mama
It's been running through my mind, I guess I let my hustle take my time, mama
I'm sorry that I took this long, but I'm here now
And I'm singing this song
I'm sorry that I don't say this enough, but I don't take you for granted, mama
You're my world

Hey mama, beautiful woman
Inside and out, nobody fit doubt
Say you're precious
I should get you a precious stone
Diamond, platinum, silver and gold

Nne m o, ezeigbo nne m o

Gekwanti ka m koro gi ihie nne mere n'uwa
Oru oma o ruru n'uwa, nne m oma
O g'eteta n'ura, run into my room
To check if I'm alright, so many sleepless nights
O g'ejide m aka, o na nyere m aka
No she won't think twice, she would give her life

Hey mama, beautiful woman
Inside and out, nobody fit doubt
Say you're precious
I should get you a precious stone
Diamond, platinum, silver and gold

Hey mama, beautiful woman
Inside and out, nobody fit doubt
Say you're precious
I should get you a precious stone
Diamond, platinum, silver and gold

Nne m o, ezeigbo nne m o (4x)

Hey mama, beautiful woman
Inside and out, nobody fit doubt
Say you're precious
I should get you a precious stone
Diamond, platinum, silver and gold
