Mama Say is the debut single by Yoruba-Irish soul-pop artist, Zeenie Summers Sà.Rù.Mí.
The song expresses the unanswered questions, about love and life that accompany our complex journey through adulthood in this world.
"The title 'Mama Say' was inspired by the pithy advice, knowledge, and wisdom that my mother imparted to me throughout my young life. This wisdom still fortifies me along my life journey."
Mama Say to me love will ri si mi
and she say e go wa ye mi o o o x2
Will it touch me with a feeling?
Will it speak to me?
Will it touch me with a feeling?
Show me in a dream?
Mo fe ko nife mi, fe ko nife mi x2
Mama so fun mi wi pe ife ma yo si mi
Ise lo so fun mi wi pe o ma toju mi
moduro, moduro, moduro
Papa so fun mi wi pe ife ma wa'ye mi
Ise lo so fun mi wi pe o ma yo si mi
Moduro, moduro, moduro
Will it touch me with a feeling?
Will it speak to me?
Will it touch me with a feeling?
Show me in a dream?
Mo fe ko nife mi, fe ko nife mi

Same Book is another single release by Zeenie Summers Sà.Rù.Mí.
It's a conversational narrative about life, its layers and vicissitudes. About how every phase we live is but one more chapter in our life story- Same Book
Every Path, in every path
You'll find ups and downs
Circumstances to figure out
The lesson for your evolution
You lose out on your vision
Keeping appearances
For your mission to figure out
The reason for your consolation
You left your motherland
Without a wave
With confusion coupled with pain
And a kind of rage
Nothing else could really matter
The present may be
A consolation, ooh ooh
The pain is felt
The moral heard
Another chapter
In the same book
Ba mi wa le o o
Ba mi wa le
Ba mi wa le o o
Ba mi wa le
No one awaits
The door is closed
It's now too late
To bring back what is lost
There is no drug
That can fill this void
I'm looking for closure
From the wrong kind of love
