About
This high-energy Afrobeat track pulses with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and infectious call-and-response vocals that rally listeners against corruption and poverty. Bold brass horn riffs pierce through funky bass grooves, leading into extended improvisational solos that evoke Fela Kuti's rebellious spirit. Dense percussion ensembles and raw, live-oriented production create an unpolished, communal groove perfect for dance and protest.
Lyrics
Rise up, rise up Rise up, rise up Feel the beat in your soul, oh Rise up, rise up No more chains to control Leaders take fire Leave us cold in the night We ignite Lies in their pockets Truth in our fight Poverty's shadow We break through the dark Spark to spark We tear it apart Corruption's thrown We tear it apart Freedom calls Break the walls Stand and call Echo loud Stand proud Oh yeah, feel it now Rise, rise, rise Pulse of the people Claim our domain Prove through the struggle Sway with the pain Dance on their graves Ocean of devotion Who holds the power? We do, we do Empower the fire Sea of devotion No more thieves in the light of the moon Now, now Poverty fall, poverty fall Call unity strong All night long All night long Well for the loss Bend the notes of our victory Soul on fire Spirit degree Empowerment Sandlust decree Rise up Claim the promised land Rise up Fame with the crew Beauty forever In afternoon
