Afrobeat
About
Pulsing with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and infectious call-and-response vocals, this Afrobeat anthem rallies against corruption and colonial ghosts for African empowerment. Bold brass horn riffs pierce through funky bass grooves, leading into extended improvisational solos that evoke raw, live energy and communal rebellion. Dense percussion ensembles and unpolished horns create a high-octane groove perfect for dance and protest.
Lyrics
Wake up now, feel the fire Feel the sunrise together Stand so proud Turn it around They steal our sweat We ignite Politicians' feats While we fight For bread and stone From the dust we rise Lord, we're vile Corruption's shadow We chase it away, we spun United hearts Turn the tide Corruption's shadow We chase it away, we spun Freedom call Pickle our justice home Break the cloud power surge Till the beat out, fricke strong Deep in the roots The rhythm life Where the river Flows No more beggars in our own land Shake, take a stand Colonial Ghost Our story now We shatter the whole response Blood through the soil Dance in the flame of Unity power Shout our name Rise up Feel the groove and power Make your move, no corruption Justice, truth, Africa shine Me and you Dance through the night Higher! Empower now! Stronger! No chains! Freedom! Unity grew! Forever more! Hail for the lost! Cry for the free! Bend the nodes! Set the spirits free! Soulful twist! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore! Forevermore!
