Lyrics

**[INTRO — Bare Footsteps, Handclaps, Deep African Drum]**

*(Footsteps circling. A drum begins.)*

Roun' an' roun',
Same ol' groun'.

Same ol' tori,
Same ol' soun'.

But tonight—

Wi change di riddim!

Hey! Hey!

**[CHORUS — Explosive Afro-House Drop]**

Un-loop, UNLOOPA!
Buss di circle, move yuh feet!

Oh-ya, UNLOOPA!
New direction, fresh beat!

Step outside!
Turn aroun'!

Stamp yuh foot pon di groun'!

Un-loop, UNLOOPA!

**[VERSE 1 — Driving Afrobeats, Bright Highlife Guitar]**

Mama count di likkle coins
By di window late at night.
Every mornin' come a next bill,
Anotha mountain lef' fi climb.

Now she learn fi do summen new,
Find a way fi sell har skill.
One new customer, one new link-up,
One more choice she can fulfill.

Down di road, farmer a plan
How fi move him crops to town.
Young designer fine a buyer
Far from di neighbour groun'.

Dem stories still a grow,
Nah promise easy gold.
But when chance a travel,
New possibilities unfold.

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

Dem seh, "Dis how it always stay."
Wi seh, "Mus' it remain di same?"

Tek a step outside di circle,
Find a next way!

Feel di bassline gettin' stronger,
Hear di drum beneath yuh feet.

When wi change di way wi move,
Wi can change di beat!

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

Un-loop, UNLOOPA!
Buss di circle, move yuh feet!

Oh-ya, UNLOOPA!

**[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Bass]**

Likkle knowledge mek a difference,
Likkle savings mek a start.
Likkle trust can build a business,
Likkle courage move a heart.

From di village to di city,
From di mountains to di coast,
There's a world a talent waitin'
Fi di chances mi want di most.

Sweefin link people and payments,
Helpin' business tek part.
New ways fi save, exchange, and trade
Can give another dream a start.

Nah magic road to plenty,
No one answer fi wi all.
But together wi can spread out
Di opportunities 'pon di wall.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]**

Dem seh, "Dis how it always stay."
Wi seh, "Mus' it remain di same?"

Tek a step outside di circle,
Find a next way!

Feel di bassline gettin' stronger,
Hear di drum beneath yuh feet.

When wi change di way wi move,
Wi can change di beat!

**[CHORUS — Festival Dance Drop]**

Un-loop, UNLOOPA!

Oh-ya, UNLOOPA!

Un-loop, UNLOOPA!

**[BRIDGE — Piano, Children's Choir, Slow Handclaps]**

Mi nuh waan mi pickney fi carry  
Every burden mi did know.
