# HERISE
*Sweefin Music — Ika Version*

**[Intro — Warm Female Vocals, Gentle Afrobeat Rhythm]**

Oh na-na, we dia rise,  
Feel di love, di light wey dey shine.  
New day don call, sky dey bright,  
She get her dreams, she go dey fly.

Oh na-na, hear di sound,  
Million hearts dey beat now.  
With Sweefin dey light di way,  
She dey step into brighter day.

**[Verse 1]**

Mama tell me, "Know your worth,  
You get di power to change di earth."  
From small roots to dreams untold,  
She get heart wey dey shine like gold.

With hands wey heal and hands wey build,  
Thousand dreams she dey fulfill.  
She dey plant seeds, she dey make dem grow,  
And light di way for those below.

From every village to city lights,  
She dey turn dreams into new heights.  
Di strength of nations, hope we dey see,  
She dey shape wetin tomorrow go be.

**[Pre-Chorus — Building Energy]**

Make she dream, make she shine,  
Every mountain she fit climb.  
Give her wings, make she soar,  
Watch her open every door.

When she rise, we rise too,  
Nothing wey we no fit do.  
Hand in hand, side by side,  
Feel di power come alive!

**[Chorus — Explosive, Joyful Dance Hook]**

Oh-oh-oh, make she rise!  
See di fire for her eyes.  
Oh-oh-oh, make she shine!  
Her tomorrow start tonight.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, hear her call,  
When she rise, we rise all!  
Oh-oh-oh, make she lead,  
She be future wey we need!

Rise, rise, make she rise,  
Like di morning for di skies.  
With Sweefin, dreams go come alive,  
When women thrive, we all thrive!

**[Verse 2]**

Dem tell her make she wait her turn,  
Now she get world to earn.  
From closed doors to open skies,  
See di courage for her eyes.

She be builder, she be guide,  
With di strength of love inside.  
Every business, every trade,  
Every opportunity she don make.

She fit lead, she fit create,  
Shape tomorrow, change her fate.  
From di markets to di world,  
Make her greatest dreams unfold.

**[Pre-Chorus — Layered Female Harmonies]**

Make she dream, make she shine,  
Every mountain she fit climb.  
Give her wings, make she soar,  
Watch her open every door.

When she rise, we rise too,  
Nothing wey we no fit do.  
Hand in hand, side by side,  
Feel di power come alive!

**[Chorus — Full Afro-House Energy]**

Oh-oh-oh, make she rise!  
See di fire for her eyes.  
Oh-oh-oh, make she shine!  
Her tomorrow start tonight.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, hear her call,  
When she rise, we rise all!  
Oh-oh-oh, make she lead,  
She be future wey we need!

Rise, rise, make she rise,  
Like di morning for di skies.  
With Sweefin, dreams go come alive,  
When women thrive, we all thrive!

**[Bridge — Emotional, Then Rising Celebration]**

For di mama with a dream,  
For di girl wey never see  
All di wonders she fit be,  
All di doors she go open free.

For di women wey come before,  
Wey keep believing say there be more,  
Every step, every sacrifice,
