*(Explosive bass drop)*

**[CHORUS — Immediate Afro-House Dance Hook]**

Boom-boom! Heartquake!  
Feel world dey shake!

Hey-ya! Hey-ya!

Boom-boom! Heartquake!  
Every step we take!

Boom-boom! Heartquake!  
Let whole world shake!

**[VERSE 1 — Driving Afrobeats, Deep Bass]**

Everybody dey find answer,  
Everybody dey wait sign.  
Power for tomorrow dem dey search,  
While time dey run go fast.

Thousands things need attention,  
Thousands voices dey ask why.  
But strength to make difference  
Fit begin with you and I.

You no need know whole solution,  
You no need carry all load.  
Take chance make a little change,  
Put kindness on another road.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]**

You dey feel am for heart?  
You dey hear am for drums?

Moment dey wen you go know  
Time to move don reach.

Raise hands up, feel power,  
Make spirit come alive.

When heart begin thunder,  
Make world hear your cry!

**[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]**

Boom-boom! Heartquake!  
Feel world dey shake!

Hey-ya! Hey-ya!

Sweefin! Sweefin!  
Feel future dey move!

Boom-boom! Heartquake!

**[POST-CHORUS — Viral Dance Chant]**

Boom! (Hey!)

Heartquake! Heartquake!  
Let whole world shake!

**[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Strong Percussion]**

Dem fit talk no room for dreamer,  
Dem fit talk make no aim high.  
Dem fit make road more harder,  
But no fit choose how you try.

I no go trade wetin I stand for,  
I no go let courage disappear.  
I go take chance on something  
Than surrender to fear.

Farmer dey plant future,  
Maker get new plan.  
Mother dey build better,  
Dream dey every hand.

Sweefin bring ways to connect,  
To create, grow, share.  
When more people fit take part,  
More dey show everywhere.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]**

You dey feel am for heart?  
You dey hear am for drums?

Moment dey wen you go know  
Time to move don reach.

Raise hands up, feel power,  
Make spirit come alive.

When heart begin thunder,  
Make world hear your cry!
