# UNLOOPA *Broko di Sikel. Chanj di Ritm.* **[INTRO — Bare Footsteps, Handclaps, Deep African Drum]** *(Futstɛp dem de waka. Drum de start.)* Roun en roun, Di sem ol gron. Di sem ol tori, Di sem ol soun. Bot tiday— Wi go chanj di ritm! Hey! Hey! UNLOOPA! **[CHORUS — Explosive Afro-House Drop]** Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Broko dat sikel, moov yu fut! Oh-ya, UNLOOPA! Nyew direkshon, brand-new bit! Step na di saed! Ton bak! Stamp yu fut pan di gron! Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Wi go chanj di ritm now! **[VERSE 1 — Driving Afrobeats, Bright Highlife Guitar]** Mama bin de kount di penni Na di windo late na nait. Evri moni bring anoda bil, Anoda mountain fo kliam. Now she lan somtin difrent, Fain di wei fo sel ar tred. Wan nyew customa, wan nyew konɛkshon, Wan mo chɔis we she kin mek. Daon di rod, famɔ de plan How fo teke en crops go taon. Yung dizaina fain a buyer Far biyon im nɛbɔhud. Dis na tori we stil de unfold, Nor na promɛs of izi gol. Bot wen opɔtuniti travul, Nyew posibíliti kin tek hol. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Den sɛ, “Dis na aw e bin evri taim.” Wi sɛ, “E must fo bɛ so?” Tek wan step biyon di sikel, Fain anoda wei! Feel di baslaen gettin stronga, Yɛri di drum unda yu fut. Wen wi chanj di way wi de moov, Wi kin chanj di bit! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Broko dat sikel, moov yu fut! Oh-ya, UNLOOPA! Nyew direkshon, brand-new bit! Step na di saed! Ton bak! Stamp yu fut pan di gron! Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Wi go chanj di ritm now! **[POST-CHORUS — Viral Dance Chant]** Roun! Roun! Broko am daon! Step na di saed! Nyew way now! Hey! Hey! Moov dat way! UNLOOPA! Chanj di bit tiday! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Bass]** Lili nolej mek di difrɛns, Lili senvins mek di start. Lili trɔs kin bild di biznis, Lili kɔrij muv di hat. Frɔm di vilij to di siti, Frɔm di mountain to di kost, Dɛn wold of talent de wait Fo di chanse we wi need di mos. Sweefin konɛk pipul en pɛments, Ɛpin biznis dɛm fo tek pat. Nyew ways fo sev, ɛkschɛnj, en tred Kin gi anoda drim a start. Nor deya magic rod to plɛnti, Nor wan ansa fo wi ɔl. Bot tugeda wi kin waiden Di opɔtuniti biyon di wal. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Den sɛ, “Dis na aw e bin evri taim.” Wi sɛ, “E must fo bɛ so?” Tek wan step biyon di sikel, Fain anoda wei! Feel di baslaen gettin stronga, Yɛri di drum unda yu fut. Wen wi chanj di way wi de moov, Wi kin chanj di bit! **[CHORUS — Festival Dance Drop]** Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Broko dat sikel, moov yu fut! Oh-ya, UNLOOPA! Nyew direkshon, brand-new bit! Step na di saed! Ton bak! Stamp yu fut pan di gron! Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Wi go chanj di ritm now! **[BRIDGE — Piano, Children's Choir, Slow Handclaps]** A no wan mi pikin fo carry All di load wey a bin sabi. A wan do dem door wey a nor open Fo open wide wen dem waka in. Leh di lesson from wi papa dem, Leh di courage from wi mama dem, Build wan world wey generation Get more chance pass di oda dem. *(Silence. One heartbeat.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — Female Lead]** Watin if wi stop di cycle yah? Watin if di next step change evritin? *(A single drumbeat.)* Nor go round am. Step na outside! **[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]** Lead: Wi dae go round again? Crowd: No! No! Lead: Wi dae change direction? Crowd: Go! Go! Lead: Udat go join dis movement? Crowd: Evri badi! Lead: Den show mi di step! *(Bass builds)* Round! Round! Break am down! Wan step out! Turn around! Stamp! Stamp! Clap! Clap! UNLOOPA! No turning back! *(Massive bass drop — extended instrumental dance break)* **[FINAL CHORUS — Full Festival Choir, Brass, Percussion]** Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Break dat circle, move yu feet! Oh-ya, UNLOOPA! New direction, brand-new beat! Step na outside! Turn around! Stamp yu feet pon di ground! Un-loop, UNLOOPA! Wi go change di rhythm now! **[OUTRO — Highlife Guitar, Crowd Chant]** Round and round— No more! Wan more step Beyond di door. From Africa to di world, Leh di new rhythm roll. Sweefin connect wi, An together wi grow. Un-loop! UNLOOPA! Break di cycle. Change di rhythm. *(Final thunderous drum hit.)*
