About
This track pulses with intricate polyrhythms driven by layered congas and a relentless bassline, evoking the raw energy of Fela Kuti's protest anthems. Call-and-response vocals rally listeners in a communal chant over brassy horn sections that build tension and release in extended improvisational jams. The production captures a live ensemble feel, blending electric guitar riffs with traditional West African percussion for an infectious, dance-floor rebellion.
Lyrics
🎵 🎵 Wake up in the morning Shadows on the wall Chains of empty promises They rise and they fall Voices in the street Whispering the truth We march through the fire Seeking roots in the youth We won't bow down No, we won't bow Rise up now Rise up loud Feel the rhythm calling Hearts beating as one Breaking through the silence Under burning sun Freedom's in the air Lift our voices high No more hiding shadows Let the real light come Oh, we groove through the pain Lift our voices high In this endless circle We touch the sky And us with their golden crowns Built on stone Stolen dreams Selfing on the hunger Tearing at the seams But our spirits unbreakable Like we can't stay still Resistance in our bloodline Children of the mild 🎵 Feel the rhythm calling Hearts beating as one 🎵 Breaking through the silence And every soul for life No more ending nights We can't stay still In this endless circle Let the real light come Oh, we groove through the pain Lift our voices high In this endless circle We touch the sky Slow it down now Feel the bass line pour Echoes of the ancestors And every soul for love But the fire ignites We can't stay still Resistance in our blood Bending to our will Bending to our will Oh-oh-oh-oh Feel the rhythm calling Hearts beating as one Hands joined to silence Under the burning sun We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still We can't stay still
