Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Talking drum speaks, shekere shakes the dawn
Highlife guitar under a saffron sun
Horn stabs cut the air, 1-2-3-4, we come on
Oya — feel the city breathe, feel the drum
[Verse 1]
Market wake, steam of jollof, kola on the shelf
Keke glides, street vendors calling, life sells itself
Highlife guitar slides, fingers paint the sky
Footsteps sync to trading hands — we multiply
Rooftop lights, warm beer, laughter like a tide
We climb the stairs with songs and stubborn pride
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadow to neon, heartbeat to horn
Talking drum answers, a language reborn
Hands clap syncopated, feet mark the time
Call the move — shaku-shaku — let the rhythm rhyme
[Chorus]
Na beat, na life (hook)
Oya move, make body sway (call)
From Lagos rooftop down to the bay (echo)
Na beat, na life (hook)
[Verse 2]
Shekere rattles like rain on zinc roofs at night
Bata whispers history, elders keep the light
Horns on the two and four, they punch and they plead
Guitar on the off-beat — honeyed, sharp, and sweet
Sparks from the grill, smoke curls into stars
We trade our stories in songs and open jars
[Pre-Chorus]
Market drums calling, bayi — come near
Drum language says, “rise,” and the young all cheer
Syncopate your heart, let the words divide
Lead with the feet and leave the shame behind
[Chorus]
Na beat, na life (hook)
Oya move, make body sway (call)
From rooftop to the corner where we play (echo)
Na beat, na life (hook)
[Call & Response]
Lead: Who go dance tonight?
Group: We dey dance, we dey bright!
Lead: Who bring fire to the floor?
Group: We bring light, we bring more!
[Bridge — Yoruba/Pidgin touch]
Lead: Oya, ita gbona (Oya, the street is hot)
Group: Make we dance, no dulling, make we hot! (Oya!)
Lead: Talking drum — say my name
Group: (Say my name!) — Echo back, feel no shame
[Breakdown — sparse]
(Strip it back) Horns drop, guitar picks a single line
Talking drum calls out — quick call, quick reply
Breath held — then shekere, then the band burst alive
[Final Chorus — Big]
Na beat, na life (hook x2, doubled)
Oya move — shaku-shaku all night (call)
From market dawn to rooftop lights we ride (voice fold)
Na beat, na life — together we rise (hook)
[Outro]
The night bends but the language stays
Talking drum memory, in our veins it plays
Keep the highlife, keep the horn, keep the fight
Na beat, na life — forever in the light
[Production Notes]
Tempo: ~104 BPM. Emphasize off-beat highlife guitar, layered percussion (talking drum, bata, shekere), horn stabs on 2 & 4, and a sparse breakdown before the final chorus. Place the call-and-response center-front in the mix; double the hook for radio-friendly chant and build energy by adding stacked vocal harmonies on the last two choruses.
