Afrobeat
About
Pulsing with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and electrifying call-and-response singing, this Afrobeat anthem unleashes bold brass horn riffs and funky bass grooves that propel the dancefloor rebellion. Extended improvisational solos on saxophone and trumpet build to communal crescendos of empowerment, capturing raw, live energy in dense West African rhythms addressing social injustice. The unpolished production evokes Fela Kuti's spirit, rallying unity through high-energy jams.
Lyrics
Yeah, yeah. Rise up, rise up, rise up. Rise up, rise up, rise up. Power surge lifted high. Where we belong, shake the ground. Feel the wrong turn, right, march together, wrong turn. March together through the night. Who owns the future? Who breaks the silence? Corruption crumbles, watch it fall. Poverty's shadow fades away. Light of justice lights the day. Oh yeah, lift me higher, soar on fire. Take me higher, freedom wins. Blow me free, empower me. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free. Set me free.
