# LUMBALELE *Ayikak ka Kpakpak* [INTRO — INSTANT AFRICAN PERCUSSION, PLAYFUL FEMALE VOCAL] *(Three handclaps. A bouncing bassline answers.)* Hey! Who say sun no go dey shine? Who say dream too big for you? Listen! Rhythm dey for your body, Nobody fit take am away! Oh-oh-oh! Eh-ya-ya! All ready? LUMBALELE! [CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE AFRO-HOUSE / AMAPIANO DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Joy dey reach from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Make the whole world know! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Many ways dey to grow! Enter sunshine! Let happiness overflow! LUMBALELE! Good vibes dey flow! [VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR] When night dark like charcoal, Small flame still dey burn. Heart wey believe steady, Hope never go change. Where wall dey divide us, We go build bridge instead. Where road dey block us, Another way dey ahead. Voice dey wey need hear, Hand dey wey need friend. Dream wey just dey start, Story wey never end. Person get purpose, Life deserve chance. Future dey bright more When we dance welcome all. [PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES] You dey feel am for rhythm? You dey hear am for sound? Na tomorrow heartbeat dey Move through dancing crowd. Take step, no stop, Courage dey lead the way. World of possibility dey Wait for another day! [CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Joy dey reach from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Make the whole world know! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Many ways dey to grow! Enter sunshine! Let happiness overflow! LUMBALELE! Good vibes dey flow! [POST-CHORUS — VIRAL DANCE CHANT] Lum! Lum! Step to the right! Ba! Ba! Step to the left! Le! Le! Hands up high! LUMBALELE! Let your spirit fly! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Everybody! Here we are! [VERSE 2 — SOULFUL FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS] Mama get ambition, Papa dey plan the way. Pikin dey see tomorrow Full of wonders dey play. Farmer with harvest, Trader dey dream. Young inventor dey build Wetin nobody don see. From village to city, Mountains to sea, Person bring talent, Life get dignity. Sweefin dey connect people, Help more participate, grow. Opportunity dey reach far, Dreams go begin to show. [PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS] You dey feel am for rhythm? You dey hear am for sound? Na tomorrow heartbeat dey Move through dancing crowd. Take step, no stop, Courage dey lead the way. World of possibility dey Wait for another day! [CHORUS — FESTIVAL DANCE DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Joy dey reach from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Make the whole world know! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Many ways dey to grow! Enter sunshine! Let happiness overflow! LUMBALELE! Good vibes dey flow!
