Afrobeat
Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Sun spills gold on cracked earth, feet pounding ancient beats,
Dust rises like old ghosts—whispers tangled in the heat.
Hands snap sharp like thunderclaps, calling stories through the night,
The crowd bends close, breath held tight, under lanterns burning white.
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeats thread through skin and bone,
Lost in tales we've never known,
Sweat like rivers, flowing free,
In this pulse, we’re meant to be.
[Chorus]
Follow body na-na-na-do-na,
On-ji-de-na-na-na-do-na.
Grado ta-wa-si-gi-o-ga-di,
Anga-fanu-be-na-lendo—come alive.
[Verse 2]
Jars break open with the bass, spilling secrets from below,
Drums swell like ocean waves, pulling every soul to flow.
Voices weave like woven grass, tangled, raw with joyful fight,
Feet find space where shadows fall, dancing edges of the night.
[Pre-Chorus]
A whispered spark, a sudden fire,
Steps compelled by fierce desire.
Every breath, a stolen star,
Every move takes us far.
[Chorus]
Follow body na-na-na-do-na,
On-ji-de-na-na-na-do-na.
Grado ta-wa-si-gi-o-ga-di,
Anga-fanu-be-na-lendo—come alive.
[Bridge]
Cherry-mau-ga-do-wa-wo-kau-nyi,
Ssantsa-mau-ye-i-aw-na—lift the sky.
Stitches of sound unraveling time,
Mali-ra-pu-a-i-o-bando, hearts align.
[Chorus]
Follow body na-na-na-do-na,
On-ji-de-na-na-na-do-na.
Grado ta-wa-si-gi-o-ga-di,
Anga-fanu-be-na-lendo—come alive.
[Outro]
Under stars melting slow,
We’re the flames you’ll never know.
Grado, Mali, voices rise,
In this night, our story lies.
