# UPBEYOND
*Sweefin Music — Ika Version*

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Di ogene dey come!

Ubo ani uzo, na ubo kwa uzo,  
Rhythm ahụ na-akpọkwa.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!

Up, up, beyond!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

N'abalị gara aga, ọkụ na-eto uzo,  
Ututu a, ụkwụ na-efe efe.

Na-achọta okwu iso ụzọ.

Ebe mgbidi dị, anyị na-eme ụzọ,  
Ebe obi abụọ dị, anyị na-ajụkwa.

Ọtụtụ nwere ike ịme, ịgbanwe, na ịga n'ihu.

Ọ dịghị nrọ buru obere maka mgbanwe,  
Ọ dịghị ndụ dị anya maka nhazi.

Anyị nwere ike iwulite ka anyanwụ na-ebili.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**
