[Intro] Ay, ay, ay Gqom fire We don't stop Ay, ay, ay [Verse 1] Bass drop low, feel it in your chest now Township lights flicker, everybody's blessed now Speakers shake the ground, no sleep till we burn out Feet move automatic, this is what we're about Shadows in the corner, bodies in the strobe light Sweat drips like rain, we gon' party all night No rules, no chains, just the beat and the vibe right Gqom in my veins, got me feeling so alive, right? [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, hands up, let me see you move Bass hit, bass hit, get into the groove We don't need permission, we just need the sound When the gqom drops, we shake the ground [Chorus] Gqom fire, gqom fire, burning through the night Gqom fire, gqom fire, everything's alright Ay, ay, ay, we don't stop, we don't tire Ay, ay, ay, this is gqom fire [Verse 2] Midnight creeping but the energy's rising Dark percussion hitting, got the whole block vibing Minimal but deadly, every sound surprising Hypnotic like a spell, no compromising From the streets to the club, this is our anthem Bodies moving closer, rhythm got 'em tandem Chant it like a prayer, everybody's random Gqom take control, we don't need a ransom [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, hands up, let me see you move Bass hit, bass hit, get into the groove We don't need permission, we just need the sound When the gqom drops, we shake the ground [Chorus] Gqom fire, gqom fire, burning through the night Gqom fire, gqom fire, everything's alright Ay, ay, ay, we don't stop, we don't tire Ay, ay, ay, this is gqom fire [Bridge] Lose yourself, lose yourself in the bass Feel the pulse, feel the pulse, no escape This is freedom, this is life, this is raw When the beat drops heavy, give me more Lose yourself, lose yourself in the bass Feel the pulse, feel the pulse, no escape Gqom nation, celebration, hear the roar When the beat drops heavy, give me more [Chorus] Gqom fire, gqom fire, burning through the night Gqom fire, gqom fire, everything's alright Ay, ay, ay, we don't stop, we don't tire Ay, ay, ay, this is gqom fire [Outro] Ay, ay, ay Gqom fire We don't stop Ay, ay, ay Gqom fire Till the morning light Ay, ay, ay
