Afrobeat
About
This high-energy Afrobeat track pulses with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and driving funky bass grooves that propel the rhythm forward, layered with bold brass horn riffs and infectious call-and-response singing demanding human rights. Extended improvisational jams in the brass solo and percussion break evoke Fela Kuti's rebellious spirit, fostering communal uplift in a live-oriented production full of raw analog energy. The structure builds to a fully resolved final chorus, clocking in around 190 seconds of groovy protest power.
Lyrics
Rise up, voices unite. Feel the fire, claim what's right. In the shadows where the weary roam, chains of silence. Far from home, dreams are stolen, hopes denied. But in our hearts, the truth won't hide, brothers, sisters. Hand in hand, breaking walls across the land. Human rights, we call them loud. Freedom rings, stand proud. No more tears, no more chains. No more chains. Unity. Heals all pain. Heals all pain. Rights for all. Let it be. Let it be. Together strong, wild, and free. From the valleys to the endless skies. Awake, no more disguise. Justice through the night. Every soul deserves the light. Lift the fallen. Lend a brow of power. Softly spoken word. Oh yeah. Feel it rise. Rise up. Touch the skies. Yeah. Yeah. Let it flow. Human rights, we call them loud. We call them loud. Freedom rings. Stand proud. Stand proud. Stand proud. No more tears. No more chains. No more chains. No more chains. Unity heals all pains. Heals all pains. Rights for all. Let it be. Let it be. Together strong, wild, and free. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! hey! Clap your hands. Clap now. Step it up. Step it up. Across the land. Boom, boom. Feel the beat. Feel the beat. Rights alive on our feet. Human rights, we call them loud. We call them loud. We call them loud. Freedom rings. Stand proud. Stand proud. Stand proud. Stand proud. No more tears. No more chains. No more chains. No more chains. No more chains. Unity heals all pains. Heals all pains. Rights for all. Let it be. Let it be. Hey! Hey! Together strong, wild, and free. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
