Drumroad Pulse

[Intro] Pulse in the streets, miya wuka (we rise), rhythm in the feet Djembe whispers, conga speaks, bassline hums beneath our heat [Verse 1] We walk the drumroad, where the township lights gleam Feet keep the timing, hearts keep the dream Cymbals kiss the morning air, two-step in the rain Afrika in our lungs, fire in the chain gang chain [Pre-Chorus] Hands clap in rhythm, souls in harmony South African drums tell our names to the breeze [Chorus] Chant through the night, Afro pulse alive Bodies move as one, we thrive and rise From Durban to Joburg, the beat never sleeps South African drums, in every heart we keep [Verse 2] Bongos, shekeres, dladla on the skin Percussion talking stories of where we’ve been Rhythm like heartbeat, city, river, sand We carry the culture with every grain of land [Pre-Chorus] Hands clap in rhythm, souls in harmony South African drums tell our names to the breeze [Chorus] Chant through the night, Afro pulse alive Bodies move as one, we thrive and rise From Durban to Joburg, the beat never sleeps South African drums, in every heart we keep [Bridge] Call and response under starlit skies Polyrhythms weaving truth in our eyes [Chorus] Chant through the night, Afro pulse alive Bodies move as one, we thrive and rise From Durban to Joburg, the beat never sleeps South African drums, in every heart we keep [Outro] We carry the drum, we carry the sound Rhythms of home, forever bound
