Lyrics
Description
[Intro - arrangement note]
(Tempo: 104 BPM — talking drum motif, congas, shakers)
[Short chant]
Oya! Oya! (Make we go!)
[Verse 1]
Market drums at dawn,
Smoke and kola on the breeze,
Lagos streets spark bright,
Feet find the city's heartbeat.
Talking drum calls out,
Brass answers by the quay,
Coastal dawn opens wide,
Fishlight flickers, we say—
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the pull? (We feel it!)
Can you hear the call? (We hear it!)
Step by step, we move,
Tension builds, then fall.
[Chorus - Hook]
Africa, we rise! (Africa, we rise!)
Africa, we rise! (Harmony)
[Chorus - Build]
Lift the drum, lift the sky,
Market bells and ocean cry,
Kola trees and city lights,
Hands up high, tonight we fly.
[Verse 2]
Mama sells sunlight,
Her laugh is gold in the square,
Children spin on the corner,
Bare feet chase tomorrow there.
Shakers whisper secrets,
Congas roll like far rain,
Brass cut sharp like sunrise,
We answer with one refrain.
[Call & Response]
Leader: Who's with me?
Crowd: We are! (Oya!)
Leader: Who won't stop?
Crowd: No one! (Oya!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the pull? (We feel it!)
Can you hear the call? (We hear it!)
Breathe in heat and hope,
Then let the chorus fall.
[Chorus - Hook]
Africa, we rise! (Africa, we rise!)
Africa, we rise! (Ah!)
[Chorus - Build]
From market dawn to coastal lanes,
Talking drum remembers names,
From kola shade to Lagos haze,
We lift our voices, make the day.
[Bridge — Percussion Breakdown]
[Arrangement: heavy talking drum, conga slap, brass stabs drop; choir hums a low vamp]
Whisper: Na so we move—
Shout: Na so we dance—
Whisper: Na so we love—
Shout: Na so we rise!
(Ad-lib: Sawa, oya, twende!)
[Bridge - Twist]
When the night tries to hush,
We bring the dawn back loud,
No story left untold,
We crown the streets with sound.
[Final Chorus - Hook & Full]
Africa, we rise! (Africa, we rise!)
Africa, we rise! (Layers: harmony, call-and-response)
Lift the drum, lift the sky,
Market bells and ocean cry.
Africa, we rise! (Echo: we rise, we rise)
[Vamp / Outro - Production notes]
[Arrangement: vamp on rhythm, choir repeats hook, brass stabs answer, rising ad-libs]
Call: Oya!
Response: Oya! (Make we go!)
Call: Who we be?
Response: We are home!
[Outro - final lines]
Heartbeat of the coast,
Kola shade and golden dust,
Africa, we rise—
One song, one love, one trust.
[Endnote - production suggestions]
Tempo: 100–110 BPM. Use talking drum motif to start each verse, congas and shakers for groove, brass stabs on chorus hits, backing choir for harmonies and call-and-response, percussion-driven bridge leading into an extended vamp for sing-along outro.
