But if e be say... Change dey start with we? *(Drums build)* Boom-boom! Hey! Hey! HEARTQUAKE! *(Explosive bass drop)* **[CHORUS — Immediate Afro-House Dance Hook]** Boom-boom! Heartquake! Feel di whole world dey shake! Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Courage dey awake! Boom-boom! Heartquake! Every step we dey take! Sweefin! Sweefin! Future dey move! Boom-boom! Heartquake! Make di whole world shake! **[VERSE 1 — Driving Afrobeats, Deep Bass]** Everybody dey find answer, Everybody dey wait for sign. Dey search for power beyond tomorrow, Clock dey steal our precious time. Thousand tins need attention, Thousand voices dey ask why. But di strength to make difference Fit start with you and I. You no need sabi all di solution, You no need carry every load. Take chance make small difference, Put kindness for another road. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** You feel am for your heartbeat? You dey hear am for di drums? Moment dey when you go realise Say time to move don come. Hands up, feel di power, Let your spirit come alive. When your heart dey thunder, Make di whole world hear you cry! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Boom-boom! Heartquake! Feel di whole world dey shake! Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Courage dey awake!

Move your feet, clear di way! Shake! (Hey!) Shake! (Hey!) Feel dat heartbeat come awake! Sweefin! Sweefin! Everybody dey move! Heartquake! Heartquake! Make di whole world shake! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Strong Percussion]** Dem fit tell you say no space for dreamers, Dem fit tell you no aim high. Dem fit make road harder, But dem no fit choose how you try. I no go trade wetin I stand for, I no go let my courage disappear. I go take chance on something Than surrender to fear. Farmer dey with future grow, Maker dey with brand-new plan. Mother dey build better, Dream dey for every working hand. Sweefin bring new ways connect, Create, exchange, and grow. When more people fit take part, More we fit show. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** You feel am for your heartbeat? You dey hear am for di drums? Moment dey when you go realise Say time to move don come. Hands up, feel di power, Let your spirit come alive. When your heart dey thunder, Make di whole world hear you cry! **[CHORUS — Explosive Festival Drop]** **[VERSE]** Boom-boom! Etighi! Eyo mbuban odu! Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Nyong iso nyet! Boom-boom! Etighi!
