About
This track pulses with intricate polyrhythms driven by layered congas and a relentless bassline, evoking the raw energy of Fela Kuti's protest anthems. Call-and-response vocals rally listeners against corruption, backed by soaring saxophone and trumpet solos that build to an improvisational jam. The production captures a live ensemble feel, with communal grooves inviting movement and unity in the face of oppression.
Lyrics
Rise up from the shadows, feel the rhythm in your veins, Chains of empty promises, breaking under heavy rains. Leaders with their golden crowns, stealing from the light, We dance through the fire, claiming back the night.
Oh, we won't bow down!
To the thieves in the tower!
Hearts beating as one!
Freedom's our power!
Dance, rise, unite!
Break the silence tonight!
Whispers in the marketplace, stories of the lost, Hands that build the dreams, crushed under endless cost. Voices like the thunder, rolling through the crowd, We march with open souls, shouting truth out loud.
Oh, we won't bow down!
To the thieves in the tower!
Hearts beating as one!
Freedom's our power!
Dance, rise, unite!
Break the silence tonight!
Slow the beat, feel the pulse, let the horns cry out, In the quiet storm, we find what it's all about. No more hiding faces, no more turning blind, Together we ignite, leaving fears behind.
Release the flame!
)
From the dawn's first whisper to the evening's fiery call, We weave our stories tall, refusing to fall. Roots deep in the earth, branches reaching high, Against the winds of greed, we touch the endless sky.
Oh, we won't bow down!
To the thieves in the tower!
Hearts beating as one!
Freedom's our power!
Dance, rise, unite!
Break the silence tonight!
Rise...
Unite...
Power...
Tonight...
