Soul of Afrobeat

[Intro] Whispers in a crowded street, heartbeat in a brass parade City lights flash like stories, every doorway knows my name [Verse 1] I’am the street’s old violin, carrying memories in my throat Singing of sunlit markets and late-night promises I wrote I walk through drums and sugar hiss, confessing every scar Afrobeat in my lungs keeps time with every breath I draw near and far [Pre-Chorus] Hold my rhythm, hear my truth, let the whistle tell the tale From grandma’s kitchen gospel to the corner shop’s request for scales [Chorus] Pulse of the people, voice of the street, I bloom in the rhythm’s glow Weaving dreams through horn and heartbeat, where wild and warm winds blow I tell my story in vibrant hues, in every clap and sway Afrobeat in my chest, I’m alive in every sway [Verse 2] I trade my doubts for percussion, let courage rise with the groove Characters walk through my lines, each one finding their own move A dancer, a trader, a mother with a child on her knee In every verse I scrawl a path for what tomorrow could be [Pre-Chorus] Sing, don’t hide your truth, let the chorus lift your wings Riddles of the city unravel when a steady tempo sings [Chorus] Pulse of the people, voice of the street, I bloom in the rhythm’s glow Weaving dreams through horn and heartbeat, where wild and warm winds blow I tell my story in vibrant hues, in every clap and sway Afrobeat in my chest, I’m alive in every sway [Bridge] Rhythm sharp as a spark, glow of copper in the dark Characters step forward, hearts beating loud and stark [Chorus] Pulse of the people, voice of the street, I bloom in the rhythm’s glow Weaving dreams through horn and heartbeat, where wild and warm winds blow I tell my story in vibrant hues, in every clap and sway Afrobeat in my chest, I’m alive in every sway [Outro] So I keep walking with the beat, let the night ride on my feet Afrobaet, voices rise, and every story finds its seat
