About
Pulsing with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and dynamic call-and-response singing, this Afrobeat anthem layers funky bass grooves under bold brass horn riffs that ignite social protest energy. Extended improvisational solos on saxophone and trumpet weave through the dense live-oriented production, evoking Fela Kuti's raw, communal spirit of empowerment and uprising. The unpolished grooves and audience-engaging vibes make it a high-octane call to action.
Lyrics
Oh! No more chains to hide Hey! Whoa, hide Brothers and sisters Hear the call tonight We stand together Ready for the fight Leaders and shadows Stealing what we earn No more hunger No more tables turned From the dust we build Dreams that never fade United hearts And the real Rhythm we invade Poverty's grip We break it with our hands Empowerment flows Across these burning lands Freedom calls Cast away the fear Oh yeah! Hey! Close to the people Deep in the halls of power We rebel now In this very hour From the ground below Unity's fire Let it grow Charity's fire 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! Heart's beat is forever And our chains forever The battle's just begun Oh! Poverty's shadow We chase it away Oh! With unity's power We seize the day Oh! Rebel spirits Dancing in the flame Oh! Empowerment rising Whispering our name Oh! Sound the alarm Let the truth unfold Bold and fierce Stories yet untold Yes! Yes! Sound it out! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
