Hustle Rhythm Defiance

In the shadows of the city lights we hustle through the night Concrete jungle swallow dreams but we fight with all our might Politicians promise gold but leave us in the dust Yet our spirits never break in this rhythm we trust Feel the beat rising, hearts aligning From the streets to the sky, no more denying Rise up, old people, let your voices ring Together we stand, in this half of each swing Unity goes through the whole a triumphant cry We dance through the pain under the African sky Rise up, rise up, feel the fire ignite In the groove of our souls, we claim the night Mothers cry, but they're young, lost to the endless grind Fathers toil in silence leaving worries behind But in the market's clamor we find a coming song Hand in hand we march on where we all belong Sex wails softly, percussion strips back In the quiet storm we find our evil sister brother No chains can hold this spirit wild and free From the ashes we rebuild you and me Rise up, oh people let your voices ring Together we stand and the sky will be sweet Unity goes through the horns triumphant cry We dance through the pain under the African sky Rise up, rise up, feel the fire ignite In the groove of our souls, reclaim the night Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
