About
This Afrobeat track erupts with complex polyrhythmic percussion and a relentless driving bassline, channeling the spirit of social protest through call-and-response vocals that echo the fight against corruption. Brass horns wail defiantly over layered congas and electric guitar riffs, creating an immersive, groovy atmosphere that builds to extended improvisational jams. The raw, live-performance style production captures the communal energy of West African rhythms, urging listeners to rise up in unity.
Lyrics
New Year, New Year New Year, New New Year Wake up in the morning Shadows on the wall Protein in the tower Watching us all fall The pumice river's flowing But the wells run dry Hands in every pocket Feeding on the light We march through the heat Voices rising high Chains of empty words Tying up the sky Lights up now, call Break the heavy chain Power barely can win But our hearts beat smooth In the mother's eyes Feel the fire burning In the soul's deep deep hole No more hiding shadows more
