Lyrics
# UNLOOPA *Mash up di Cycle. Change di Riddim.* **[INTRO — Bare Footsteps, Handclaps, Deep African Drum]** *(Footsteps circling. A drum begins.)* Round an round, Same ole groun'. Same ole story, Same ole soun'. But tonite— We change di riddim! Hey! Hey! UNLOOPA! **[CHORUS — Explosive Afro-House Drop]** Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Mash up dat circle, move yuh feet! Oh-ya, UNLOOPA! New direction, brand new beat! Step outside! Turn roun'! Stamp yuh foot pon di groun'! Un-loop, UNLOOPA! We change di riddim now! **[VERSE 1 — Driving Afrobeats, Bright Highlife Guitar]** Mama used to count di pennies By di window late at night. Every mornin' bring anodda bill, Anodda mountain left to climb. Now she learnin' someting different, Find a way fi sell har trade. One new customer, one new connection, One more choice she can mek. Down di road, farmer plannin' How fi bring him crops to town. Young designer find a buyer Far beyond di neighbor groun'. Dem stories still unfoldin', Not a promise of easy gold. But when opportunity travel, New possibilities tek hold. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Dem seh, “A so it always been.” We seh, “It haffi stay?” Tek one step beyond di circle, Find anodda way! Feel di bassline getting stronger, Hear di drums beneath yuh feet. When we change di way we movin', We change di beat! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Mash up dat circle, move yuh feet! Oh-ya, UNLOOPA! New direction, brand new beat! Step outside! Turn roun'! Stamp yuh foot pon di groun'! Un-loop, UNLOOPA! We change di riddim now! **[POST-CHORUS — Viral Dance Chant]** Round! Round! Break it down! Step outside! New way now! Hey! Hey! Move dat way! UNLOOPA! Change di beat today! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Bass]** A likkle knowledge mek di difference, A likkle savings mek a start. A likkle trust can build a business, A likkle courage move a heart. From di village to di city, From di mountains to di coast, Dere's a world of talent waitin' Fi di chances needed most. Sweefin connect people an payments, Helpin' businesses tek part. New ways fi save, exchange, an trade Can gi anodda dream a start. Dere's no magic road to plenty, No one answer fi we all. But together we can widen Di opportunities beyond di wall. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Dem seh, “A so it always been.” We seh, “It haffi stay?” Tek one step beyond di circle, Find anodda way! Feel di bassline gettin' stronger, Hear di drums beneath yuh feet. When we change di way we movin', We change di beat! **[CHORUS — Festival Dance Drop]** Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Mash up dat circle, move yuh feet! Oh-ya, UNLOOPA! New direction, brand new beat! Step outside! Turn roun'! Stamp yuh foot pon di groun'! Un-loop, UNLOOPA! We change di riddim now! **[BRIDGE — Piano, Children's Choir, Slow Handclaps]** Mi nuh waan mi pickney fi bear All di burden weh mi know. Mi waan all di door weh mi cyaa open Fi dem open when dem go. Tek di lesson from wi fada, An di courage from wi mada, Build a world weh each generation Get more chance fi betta. *(Silence. One heartbeat.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — Female Lead]** Wha if di cycle stop wid wi? Wha if di next step change everything? *(A single drumbeat.)* Nuh go roun' it. Step outta it! **[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]** Lead: Wi a go roun' again? Crowd: No! No! Lead: Wi a change di direction? Crowd: Go! Go! Lead: Who can join dis movement? Crowd: Everybody! Lead: Den show mi di step! *(Bass builds)* Roun'! Roun'! Brek it down! One step out! Tun roun'! Stamp! Stamp! Clap! Clap! UNLOOPA! Nuh turnin' back! *(Massive bass drop — extended instrumental dance break)* **[FINAL CHORUS — Full Festival Choir, Brass, Percussion]** Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Brek dat circle, move yuh feet! Oh-ya, UNLOOPA! New direction, brand-new beat! Step outta it! Tun roun'! Stamp yuh foot pon di ground! Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Wi can change di rhythm now! **[OUTRO — Highlife Guitar, Crowd Chant]** Roun' an roun'— Nuh more! One more step Beyond di door. From Africa to di world, Mek di new rhythm roll. Sweefin connect wi, An together wi grow. Un-loop! UNLOOPA! Brek di cycle. Change di rhythm. *(Final thunderous drum hit.)*
