About
This high-energy Afrobeat track pulses with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and driving funky bass grooves that lock into a hypnotic sway, punctuated by bold brass horn riffs and extended improvisational solos on saxophone and trumpet. Call-and-response vocals rally listeners in a communal chant against corruption and greed, building to euphoric jams that evoke Fela Kuti's rebellious spirit with raw, live-oriented production full of unpolished energy and audience engagement. At around 242 seconds, it layers dense percussion ensembles over electric guitar funk for an empowering dance ritual.
Lyrics
In the sun Feeling our unity in the sound Shadows of grief fall heavy on our backs We shake them off We rise we rise Life's on the top, pockets lined With our pain No more chains, more chains We break, we break Dreams in the dust Dreams in the dust Together strong Voices silent The fire burns deep We shout it loud Feel the fire Never stop Poverty whisper Survive, survive Poverty whisper Groove through the night Survive, survive Now we unite, step Power in our sway Dance for the dawn Of a brand new day Hold steam Heart sink, move low Feel the link, bounce back Never sink, we own this, we think Poverty whisper Survive, survive Never sink, move low Feel the link, bounce back Never sink, we own this, we think Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive Survive, survive
