Motherland Rhythm Rising

Lyrics

Listen to the rhythm of the motherland beat, Rising like the smoke from the Lagos street. Feel the power growing, deep within your bones, Speaking in the language that everybody owns. We don't need no borders, we don't need no walls, When the music rises and the spirit calls. Move your body slowly, let the feeling take control, Deep within the pocket, we are feeding the soul. OH, ELEVATE THE SOUL, LET THE RHYTHM FREE! DANCING TO THE DRUM OF OUR DESTINY! ONE LOVE, ONE SOUND, RINGING IN THE AIR! HEALING EVERY HEART, EVERYWHERE! FEEL THE BASS LINE RUMBLE, FEEL THE HORN SECTION BLOW! THIS IS THE AFROBEAT AND WE'RE READY TO GO! From the roots of the forest to the city light, We are burning brighter, shining in the night. Every step a story, every beat a prayer, Sending out the magic through the open air. Can you feel the power? Can you feel the grace? Moving like a river through this sacred space. There's a fire burning that they cannot tame, Say it loud and proud now, shout it out the name! OH, ELEVATE THE SOUL, LET THE RHYTHM FREE! DANCING TO THE DRUM OF OUR DESTINY! ONE LOVE, ONE SOUND, RINGING IN THE AIR! HEALING EVERY HEART, EVERYWHERE! FEEL THE BASS LINE RUMBLE, FEEL THE HORN SECTION BLOW! THIS IS THE AFROBEAT AND WE'RE READY TO GO! (Ooh, let it ride...) (Afrobeat originally beat...) Yeah... yeah... let the rhythm free... (Let the rhythm free...)
