(Verse 1)\nSunrise paints the streets of Lagos bright,\nTalking drums echo through the night,\nSyncopated beats like heartbeats pound,\nCall and response, the spirit’s sound.\nFrom festooned markets to Brooklyn blocks,\nWe weave our tales in rhythmic knocks,\nKora strings and 808s collide,\nA sonic wave, our cultural tide.\n\n(Pre-Chorus)\nHear the griot’s voice, sharp and clear,\nHip Hop’s truth in every ear,\nDjembe skin and vinyl scratch,\nOur stories strike, no strings attached.\n\n(Chorus)\nRoots reign, in every street and soul,\nAfrobeat fire, Hip Hop’s flow,\nWe lift the past, we pave the way,\nIn every pulse, our hearts will sway.\nCall and response, the dance ignites,\nFrom dawn’s first light to neon nights,\nWe rise, we roar, unbreakable jam,\nIn rhythm’s throne, we are who I am.\n\n(Verse 2 - Rap Flow)\nMotherland’s whispers in the city’s roar,\nSpitting stories that shake the floor,\nFrom Ogun’s forge to subway trains,\nOur heritage flows in blood and veins.\nBasslines bump with talking drum’s tongue,\nAncestral voices forever young,\nEvery rhyme a bridge, every beat a map,\nUniting worlds in this Afro Hip Hop rap.\n\n(Bridge)\nI am that I am\nNo be brag, no be cap\nDon't need no validation to be who I am\nI do what I gotta do\nAfter me na me\nAs within so without\nAfter me na me\n\n(Chorus)\nRoots reign, in every street and soul,\nAfrobeat fire, Hip Hop’s flow,\nWe lift the past, we pave the way,\nIn every pulse, our hearts will sway.\nCall and response, the dance ignites,\nFrom dawn’s first light to neon nights,\nWe rise, we roar, unbreakable jam,\nIn rhythm’s throne, we are who I am.\n\n(Outro)\nFeel the layers, the stories blend,\nA vibrant flow that will never end,\nAfro and Hip Hop, hand in hand,\nEchoes of roots, across the land.
