Roots and Rhythm City

[Intro] City lights flicker like piano keys in flight Hands clap in time, the heartbeat of the night [Verse 1] In the avenues where colors bloom on brick and chrome We rise on Harlem stairs and Lagos lanes, call it home Drums in neon windows, smiles carved in stone We move with a groove that's carved from roots we've known [Pre-Chorus] Hear the bass drum hum a story of our grand design Stitching every voice in rhythm, crossing every line [Chorus] Ooh we dance through the rain, our souls ignite and soar Afrobeat in our steps, we push toward something more Joy like a river, flowing bold and free We carry our culture—strong, alive, and free [Verse 2] Skyscraper silhouettes paint the sky with gold Neighbors share confetti dreams, brave and bold Piano melodies braid with street-inspired drums Telling the tale of resilience, welcome everyone [Pre-Chorus] Bridge the old and new with every smiling face in chorus Our village sings the anthem, bold and gracious, porous [Chorus] Ooh we dance through the rain, our souls ignite and soar Afrobeat in our steps, we push toward something more Joy like a river, flowing bold and free We carry our culture—strong, alive, and free [Bridge] Feet clap a story, hands raise to the sky We thrive in unity, where dreams multiply [Chorus] Ooh we dance through the rain, our souls ignite and soar Afrobeat in our steps, we push toward something more Joy like a river, flowing bold and free We carry our culture—strong, alive, and free [Outro] City breaths exhale hope, we march to the dawn Rooted in our rhythm, marching gracefully on
