May 21, 2025 Autonomous: The Soundtrack of Sovereignty

Autonomous: The Soundtrack of Sovereignty

Autonomous is a powerful 14-track album blending Afrobeat, Hip-Hop, and Soul to inspire self-determination, unity, and purpose. Each track calls Africans in the diaspora and on the continent to rise, return, and rebuild. With uplifting rhythms and bold lyrics, the album champions sovereignty, resilience, and legacy over fleeting trends. This is more than music—it’s a call to reclaim power and shape Africa’s future from within.

Track 1:INTRO – WAKE UP CALL 
The time has come. 
The world has watched, but now it's our time to rise.
We've been waiting for this moment, and it's finally here.
Africa, the land of our ancestors, the cradle of humanity — it's time to reclaim our destiny.
The question is no longer if we return, but when.
So, let's rise, let's build, let's own our future.

We've walked for miles in distant lands,
Chasing dreams that were never ours to command.
But the story of our roots is buried deep,
In the heart of Africa, where our ancestors sleep.
It’s time to wake up, it’s time to see,
The power we hold, the future we can be.

Africa’s calling, can you hear the sound?
From the hills to the cities, to the sacred ground.
Our time has come, let’s break the chains,
Together we rise, together we claim.

Home is calling, hear the sound,
It’s time to rise, time to stand our ground.
No more waiting, no more doubt,
Africa’s future — let’s build it now!

We’ve seen the world, but we’ve never been free,
Bound by the chains of history’s decree.
But in every heart beats a dream so true,
The promise of Africa, the land we must renew.
It’s time to return, to build and grow,
To plant our seeds, let them overflow.

Africa’s calling, can you hear the sound?
From the hills to the cities, to the sacred ground.
Our time has come, let’s break the chains,
Together we rise, together we claim.

Home is calling, hear the sound,
It’s time to rise, time to stand our ground.
No more waiting, no more doubt,
Africa’s future — let’s build it now!

The time is now, we’ve been waiting too long,
The power is ours, and we are strong.
Let’s rise together, build our home,
Africa’s future, it’s ours to own!

Rise together…
Africa, let’s rise!
Build our home…
Together, we’ll rise!
It’s time to stand…
It’s time to stand!

Wake up Africa, wake up world.
The future’s calling, the time is now.
Let’s rise together. Let’s build it together.
Our legacy awaits.
Track 2:AUTONOMOUS 
Autonomy — the power to chart our own course, to own our future. 
No longer waiting for permission or validation.
It's time for us to define success on our own terms.
The world has given us opportunities, but it’s up to us to seize them.
Africa, let’s rise and build on our own, together.

We don’t need no handouts, no favors from the past,
We’re forging new paths, with a vision that will last.
From the streets of Lagos to the hills of Cape Town,
We rise with purpose, we wear our crown.
In the land of the free, let’s redefine,
Autonomy’s power is in our hands, it’s time.

No chains, no limits, no way to be bound,
We’re the architects of change, we’re breaking new ground.
In unity, in strength, in the power we own,
Africa’s future is ours, and we’re standing alone.

Autonomous, we rise on our own,
No more waiting, no more unknown.
With every step, we claim the throne,
Our destiny’s ours, and it’s time we’ve grown.

We’ve been told for too long, we couldn’t stand tall,
But look at us now, watch us break the walls.
Innovation in our minds, power in our hands,
We’re rewriting history, we’re making new plans.
From the heart of Africa to the global stage,
We’re creating our story, let’s turn the page."

No chains, no limits, no way to be bound,
We’re the architects of change, we’re breaking new ground.
In unity, in strength, in the power we own,
Africa’s future is ours, and we’re standing alone.

Autonomous, we rise on our own,
No more waiting, no more unknown.
With every step, we claim the throne,
Our destiny’s ours, and it’s time we’ve grown.

They tried to hold us down, but we rise higher,
With fire in our hearts, and strength in our desire.
Africa, stand tall, and let your voice be known,
Autonomous, the power’s in your bones!

We rise higher…
Africa, rise higher!
Autonomous power…
It’s in our power!
Take the reins, own the game…
It’s ours to claim!

Autonomous, we rise on our own,
No more waiting, no more unknown.
With every step, we claim the throne,
Our destiny’s ours, and it’s time we’ve grown.

We are autonomous, we own this world,
From the roots to the sky, watch us soar.
Africa’s future is now, it’s time we grow,
We are autonomous, and now the world knows.
Track 3: NO CHAINS ON ME
We were born with power in our veins, destined for greatness. 
For too long, we've been shackled by the past, but today, we break free. No chains can hold us, no limits can define us.
Africa, the world is watching, and it’s our turn to show them what we’re capable of. The time to rise has come!"

I was born in freedom, I can feel the flame,
Generations before me paved the way, but now it's my name.
I’m standing tall, no fear in my soul,
No more holding back, I'm ready to take control.
Africa, you know we’ve been waiting too long,
But now’s the time to sing our freedom song.

No chains on me, I’m free to be,
I’ve broken every bond, I’m living my destiny.
From the past to the future, we stand tall,
No chains on me, I’m answering the call.

No chains on me, can’t hold me down,
I’m rising higher, I’m claiming my crown.
I’m free, I’m whole, I’m taking the lead,
Africa’s future, it’s time we succeed!

We’ve walked through storms, but now we’re the light,
From the darkness of the past, to a future so bright.
The chains are broken, we’ve made our stand,
Building empires with our own hands.
Africa, we’ve got what it takes,
We rise together, no matter the stakes.

No chains on me, I’m free to be,
I’ve broken every bond, I’m living my destiny.
From the past to the future, we stand tall,

We were born to be free, to rise from the dust,
No chains can bind us, in ourselves we trust.

No chains, no limits, we break through,
Africa’s power, in me and you.
The chains are broken, the world will see,
We are free, no chains on me.
Track 4: SOVEREIGN STATE OF MIND
I’ve got a sovereign state of mind, no looking back,
Breaking every barrier that they placed on my track.
From the roots to the sky, I’m rising above,
No chains, no limits, just faith and love.
My mind’s a kingdom, my soul’s a throne,
I walk through this world, and I know I’m grown.
Africa, we’re claiming what’s ours to find,
The world can’t stop a sovereign state of mind.

Sovereign state of mind, I’m free to choose,
I’m making my way, and I’ve got nothing to lose.
Building my future, creating my world,
Sovereign state of mind, watch me unfurl.

Sovereign state of mind, I’m in control,
Ruling my destiny, making me whole.
I’m standing tall, watch me rise,
Sovereign state of mind, reaching for the skies!

They tried to hold us down, but we found our voice,
From the ashes of the past, we made our choice.
We’re building empires, brick by brick,
No one’s telling us how to live, how to pick.
Africa, it’s time to rule the day,
With the strength of the ancestors guiding our way.
Sovereignty’s not just a word, it’s a flame,
And we’re walking this earth, rewriting the game.

Sovereign state of mind, I’m free to choose,
I’m making my way, and I’ve got nothing to lose.

Track 5: BUILD OR BE BUILT
I’m standing tall, I’m claiming the land,
Building my future with my own hands.
Brick by brick, I’m making my mark,
No more waiting, it’s time to embark.
Every day’s a chance to rise or fall,
But I choose to build, I’m standing tall.
Africa, let’s create what’s ours to make,
The world is waiting, no time to break.

It’s time to rise, the future is here!
Track 6: GROW YOUR OWN
I plant the seed, I watch it grow,
Through the struggle, I let it show.
I don't wait for the world to give me what’s mine,
I build from the earth, I make it shine.
In the soil of resilience, I find my strength,
I water my dreams, I go to great lengths.
The harvest will come, I know it's true,
When you grow your own, the world’s for you.

Grow your own, don’t wait for the sign,
The world is yours, it’s your time to shine.
From the roots to the sky, let your spirit fly,
When you grow your own, you’ll touch the sky!

Grow your own, plant the seed,
Water your dreams, fulfill your need.
In your hands, the power lies,
Grow your own, and watch it rise!

Don’t wait for a handout, don’t wait for a break,
You’ve got what you need, for your own sake.
Build your empire, create your fate,
Grow your own, don’t hesitate.
In the garden of life, we all have a chance,
Plant your vision, make it dance.
It’s in the roots, it’s in the soil,
When you grow your own, you never toil.

Grow your own, don’t wait for the sign,
The world is yours, it’s your time to shine.
From the roots to the sky, let your spirit fly,
When you grow your own, you’ll touch the sky!

Grow your own, plant the seed,
Water your dreams, fulfill your need.
In your hands, the power lies,
Grow your own, and watch it rise!

We are the harvesters of our own fields,
The strength to rise is within us.
Every dream starts with a seed,
Every revolution starts with one thought:
Grow your own.
Grow your mind, your heart, your soul,
And the world will follow.

Who’s gonna grow their own?
We will!
Who’s gonna take control?
We will!
Africa, it’s our time!
It’s our time!

Grow your own, plant the seed,
Water your dreams, fulfill your need.
In your hands, the power lies,
Grow your own, and watch it rise!

Grow your own...
Rise, Africa, rise...
Your future is in your hands...
Track 7: MINIMALIST CODE
I don’t need a thousand things to be free,
I only need what’s inside of me.
The code to life is simple, you see,
Clear the clutter, just let it be.
In the silence, I hear the sound,
Of my mind's power, unbound.
Minimalist living, it’s the way,
I build my future, day by day.

Minimalist code, it’s all I need,
Cut the noise, plant the seed.
Focus on what makes me whole,
That’s the minimalist code I follow.

Minimalist code, clear the mind,
In simplicity, I find my time.
Less is more, I feel the flow,
With the minimalist code, I let it go!

I don’t need the world's distractions,
I need my own, pure actions.
Cut the clutter, clear the space,
Create my world at my own pace.
I simplify the life I lead,
I plant the roots of my own seed.
No excess, no waste of time,
I’m building up with a focused mind.

Minimalist code, it’s all I need,
Cut the noise, plant the seed.
Focus on what makes me whole,
That’s the minimalist code I follow.

Minimalist code, clear the mind,
In simplicity, I find my time.
Less is more, I feel the flow,
With the minimalist code, I let it go!

The world is loud, but I choose the quiet,
In the simplicity, I find my riot.
I don't need everything, just what’s true,
The minimalist code is all I pursue.
I simplify to amplify,
With less in my life, I reach for the sky.

Minimalist code, clear the mind,
In simplicity, I find my time.
Less is more, I feel the flow,
With the minimalist code, I let it go!

Less is more, the code is clear,
In the quiet, I find my gear.
Minimalist code, it's my way,
Building my future, day by day.
Track 8: BREAK THE CIRCLE
Caught in a loop, it’s hard to see,
The life I want, the life I need.
Same mistakes, same old sound,
I’ve been lost, I’ve been bound.
But today I choose to change,
I’ll break the circle, rearrange.
No more going ‘round again,
I’m stepping out, it’s time to win!

Break the circle, break the chains,
Let go of fear, let go of pain.
Move beyond what you’ve been told,
Your story’s yours to unfold!

Break the circle, break the chain,
Reclaim your power, feel the flame.
It’s time to rise, time to fly,
Break the circle, reach the sky!

I see the patterns, but I’m not the same,
I’ve learned my lessons, I’m not to blame.
No more falling into the trap,
I’m breaking free from the map.
The circle’s been a prison, it’s true,
But I’m walking in a path that’s new.
I’m rewriting my story, rewriting my fate,
Breaking the circle, I won’t wait.

Break the circle, break the chains,
Let go of fear, let go of pain.
Move beyond what you’ve been told,
Your story’s yours to unfold!

Break the circle, break the chain,
Reclaim your power, feel the flame.
It’s time to rise, time to fly,
Break the circle, reach the sky!

No more circles of doubt,
No more living without.
You’ve got the strength, you’ve got the mind,
To leave the past and redefine.
Look inside, break the walls,
Step beyond the limits, stand tall.
The future’s waiting, it’s all yours to take,
Break the circle, make no mistake!

Break the circle, break the chain,
Reclaim your power, feel the flame.
It’s time to rise, time to fly,
Break the circle, reach the sky!

I’ve got the tools, I’ve got the land,
My future’s in my own hands.
I won’t wait for the world to give,
I’ll take what’s mine, I’ll make it live.
Resources all around me, I see,
I own my wealth, I own my peace.
No one can steal what’s meant for me,

Track 12: SELF MADE SYMPHONY 
I am the architect of my own destiny.
The canvas is blank, and I hold the brush.
No chains, no limits—only the rhythm of my soul.
I choose to rise, to build, to create my symphony.

Planted with purpose, I rise with the truth.
Every step I take, I carve my own way,

Track 13: LEGACY OVER LIKES 
In a world where the chase for likes blinds our vision,
We must ask ourselves: What are we leaving behind?
It’s not about the fleeting moments of validation;
It’s about the legacy we create, the impact we make."

Don’t chase the likes, chase the dream,
Let your legacy shine, let it gleam.
The applause fades, but what remains,
Is the change you made, the lives you changed.
It’s not about the views or the numbers that climb,
It’s the mark you leave, transcending time.
We’re not here for applause, we’re here for change,
Building foundations that will never fade.

Legacy over likes, we’re writing our story,
Not for the fame, but for true glory.
In the hearts we touch, in the lives we shape,
That’s where we find our real escape.

Legacy over likes, we stand tall,
Chasing purpose, not the fleeting call.
In the work we do, in the lives we touch,
We’re building something that means so much.
Legacy over likes, we aim high,
Reaching for the stars, we’ll never die.
In the hearts we leave behind,
Our legacy will shine, intertwined.

Social media’s loud, but the real world’s quiet,
It’s where we plant seeds, it’s where we riot.
Not in words, but in actions we lead,
Building communities, planting the seed.
Let them talk, let them like,
We’re on a journey that they won’t hike.
We’re shaping the future, brick by brick,
With every decision, we choose to stick.

Legacy over likes, we’re writing our story,
Not for the fame, but for true glory.
In the hearts we touch, in the lives we shape,
That’s where we find our real escape.

Legacy over likes, we stand tall,
Chasing purpose, not the fleeting call.
In the work we do, in the lives we touch,
We’re building something that means so much.
Legacy over likes, we aim high,
Reaching for the stars, we’ll never die.
In the hearts we leave behind,
Our legacy will shine, intertwined.

It’s not about the moments that fade away,
It’s about the love and the work we lay.
In the stories we leave, in the future we mold,
Our legacy will be worth more than gold.
Forget the likes, forget the fame,
The greatest reward is in the name.
We build for the future, not for today,
Creating legacies that will stay.

Legacy over likes, we stand tall,
Chasing purpose, not the fleeting call.
In the work we do, in the lives we touch,
We’re building something that means so much.
Legacy over likes, we aim high,
Reaching for the stars, we’ll never die.
In the hearts we leave behind,
Our legacy will shine, intertwined.

Legacy over likes, we stand tall,
Chasing purpose, not the fleeting call...
Legacy over likes, we stand tall...
Building legacies that will never fall.

The world is changing.
The old systems are crumbling,
And in their place, a new era rises—one built on autonomy, unity, and vision.
We are the architects of that future,
The creators of a world where every individual holds the key to their own destiny.
This is the new era. This is our time.

The winds of change are blowing strong,
We’ve been waiting for this all along.
A new dawn, a brand-new day,
A chance to rise, to lead the way.
From the ashes of the past we rise,
No more limits, no more lies.
We are the change, we are the light,
Stepping forward, embracing the fight.

This is the new era, we’re taking flight,
Building empires, igniting the light.
From the soil to the stars, we’ll rise above,
Together we’ll conquer with power and love.
This is the new era, we’re making history,
Breaking the chains, rewriting the story.
The world is ours, and we hold the key,
This is the new era, this is our decree.

We’ve been waiting for too long,
Now is the time to sing our song.
No more waiting, no more doubt,
Our future’s here, let’s shout it out!
Empowered minds and hearts aligned,
We leave the past far behind.
We rise above, we build anew,
Together we stand, strong and true.

This is the new era, we’re taking flight,
Building empires, igniting the light.
From the soil to the stars, we’ll rise above,
Together we’ll conquer with power and love.

This is the new era, we’re taking flight,
Building empires, igniting the light.
From the soil to the stars, we’ll rise above,
Together we’ll conquer with power and love.
This is the new era, we’re making history,
Breaking the chains, rewriting the story.
The world is ours, and we hold the key,
This is the new era, this is our decree.

It’s not just a moment; it’s a movement.
It’s the start of something greater,
A world where we’re free to be who we are,
A world where we build for each other,
Where unity and autonomy drive us forward.
We’ve laid the foundation, now we rise,
This is our time, our future, our skies.

This is the new era, we’re taking flight,
Building empires, igniting the light.
From the soil to the stars, we’ll rise above,
Together we’ll conquer with power and love.
This is the new era, we’re making history,
Breaking the chains, rewriting the story.
The world is ours, and we hold the key,
This is the new era, this is our decree.

The new era is here, and it’s ours to claim,
With unity, strength, and a vision that will never wane.
We are the architects, the builders, the dreamers—
This is our world, this is our time,
And we rise together, unshaken, divine.

Rooted in African wisdom and spiritual depth, this album is a journey of healing—inviting you to breathe, feel, and reconnect with your true self.

Track 1:Intro – The Journey Begins
The journey begins…
A road walked by many, yet still unknown.
A place where shadows once ruled,
But where light now dares to grow.

We have been taught to be strong,
To hide our pain behind smiles,
To bury our burdens beneath laughter,
To silence the echoes of our minds…

But tonight, we listen…
Tonight, we feel…
Tonight, we heal…

Oh my child, wipe your tears,
The weight you carry, let it fall…
Every wound, every scar,
Tonight, we cleanse them all.

Let it fall, let it fall…

There is no shame in feeling weak,
There is no guilt in asking why…
The heart is like the river deep,
It bends, but it will not dry.

Breathe in, breathe out…
Let the rhythm guide your soul…
You are not alone,
You are not alone.

Tonight, we sing for the broken,
For the weary, for the lost…
For the fathers who cried in silence,
For the mothers who carried unseen burdens,
For the children who grew up too soon…

This is our moment,
This is our time…
To heal, to grow, to rise.

We rise, we heal, we stand.

The journey begins…
And we are ready.
Track 2:Broken But Beautiful
You’ve been walking with the weight of the world,
Holding on, but your hands feel weak,
Looking in the mirror,
Wondering if you’re still complete…
Still complete, still complete…

But even the river changes course,
And still, it finds the sea,
Even the stars lose their light,
But they still shine for you and me.

Oh, don’t you know?
The cracks let the sunlight in…
Oh, don’t you see?
You were never meant to be perfect, just free.

You are broken but beautiful, (Oh-oh-oh!)
Wounded but wonderful, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
No matter the scars, no matter the pain,
Your heart will find love again!

You’ve been hiding behind your fears,
Building walls so no one sees,
But love was never meant to be silent,
It was meant to set you free!

So take my hand, let’s walk this road,
No need to walk alone,
Even the trees lose their leaves,
But in time, they will regrow.

No more shame, no more fear,
You are worthy, you belong here!
No more doubt, dry your eyes,
You were made to rise!

You are broken but beautiful, (Oh-oh-oh!)
Wounded but wonderful, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
No matter the scars, no matter the pain,
Your heart will find love again!

Love again, love again…
Track 3: Talk to Me.
You been walking all alone,
Carrying the weight inside your soul,
Smiling, but I see through the pain,
Let me in, don’t turn away.

I know they told you to be strong,
Told you never let it show,
But even the mountains have their storms,
It’s okay to let it go.

Oh my brother, oh my sister,
You don’t have to fight alone,
Oh my father, oh my mother,
Your heart is safe with me at home.

Talk to me, let it out,
No need to carry all this doubt,
I will listen, I won’t judge,
We can heal with love!

Talk to me, talk to me…

You don’t have to wear a mask,
You don’t have to hide the past,
If the heart is like a drum,
Then let it speak before it cracks.

Even warriors need a place to rest,
Even eagles need the wind,
If you feel like you’re lost inside,
Take my hand, let love begin.

No more silence, no more fear,
I am with you, I am here,
No more sorrow, no more shame,
We can start again.

Talk to me, let it out,
No need to carry all this doubt,
I will listen, I won’t judge,
We can heal with love!

Heal with love, heal with love…
Track 4: Silent Tears
You smile but I see through the cracks,
Your laughter hides what your heart lacks,
You say you're fine, but your eyes betray,
A storm inside that won’t go away.

You carry the world on your back,
Trying so hard not to collapse,
Holding it in, never let it show,
But even the strong need a place to go.

Oh-oh, don’t be afraid,
Let your heart find its way…
Oh-oh, you don’t have to fight alone,
I’ll be right here, don’t let go.

Silent tears fall like the rain, (Oh-oh-oh!)
But your pain is not in vain, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Let it out, let me in,
I will hold you through the wind.

I will hold you, I will hold you…

You don’t have to wear a disguise,
Even warriors need to cry,
It’s not weakness, it’s just real,
Broken hearts are made to heal.

Tell me your fears, tell me your pain,
Let your soul breathe again,
Even the stars lose their light,
But they still shine through the night.

No more hiding, no more shame,
Let your heart call out my name,
You are seen, you are heard,
You are loved, you belong."

Silent tears fall like the rain, (Oh-oh-oh!)
But your pain is not in vain, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Let it out, let me in,
I will hold you through the wind.

I will hold you, I will hold you…
Track 5: A Mother’s Prayer
Oh my child, I see your pain,
You smile, but I know the rain…
You carry the world on your shoulders,
But even the strongest get colder.

Come lay your head upon my chest,
Feel the heartbeat of love and rest,
No battle is yours to fight alone,
You will always have a home.

Oh, my child, you are not alone,
No storm can take away your throne…
Oh, my love, don’t be afraid,
The light will find you once again.

I pray for you, (Oh-oh-oh!)
That your mind will know peace, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
That your heart will be free,
May the weight on your soul disappear.

Disappear, disappear…

Life is a river, it twists, it turns,
Sometimes it flows, sometimes it burns…
But even the darkest night must fade,
And the sun will shine another day.

If the world should ever make you doubt,
Remember where you came from now,
You are strong, you are wise,
You were made to rise.

Oh, my child, don’t run away,
Your burdens will not last always,
No matter how far you roam,
Love will always bring you home.

I pray for you, (Oh-oh-oh!)
That your mind will know peace, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
That your heart will be free,
May the weight on your soul disappear.

Disappear, disappear…
Track 6: Ubuntu – We Heal Together
No one walks this road alone,
No one carries pain alone,
If you cry, I feel the rain,
If you heal, I heal the same.

From the village to the town,
We lift each other when we’re down,
One people, one love,
One spirit rising up above.

When you fall, we pick you up! (Ubuntu!)
When you cry, we share the cup! (Ubuntu!)
Through the fire, through the pain,
Together we will rise again!

Ubuntu, Ubuntu! (Oh-oh-oh!)
I am strong because of you! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Ubuntu, Ubuntu! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Together we shine, together we move!

One people, one love, one light, we rise!

No more silence, no more fear,
When you speak, we all can hear,
No more shame, no more doubt,
Your voice is strong, let it out!

If you struggle, take my hand,
This is how we take a stand,
Love will break the walls we build,
No more pain, we will be healed.

We rise, we rise, we rise together!
We heal, we heal, we heal together!
No chains, no fear,
Ubuntu’s voice is loud and clear!

Ubuntu, Ubuntu! (Oh-oh-oh!)
I am strong because of you! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Ubuntu, Ubuntu! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Together we shine, together we move!

One people, one love, one light, we rise!
Track 7: Breathe
Take a moment, slow it down,
Let the world fade all around,
Close your eyes, feel the air,
You are safe, you are here.

Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Every moment passes by,
No need to rush, no need to fear,
Let the silence draw you near.

Oh-oh, let the worries go,
Oh-oh, feel the river flow…
No need to fight, no need to run,
Breathe it in, the war is done.

Breathe in, let the pain go, (Oh-oh-oh!)
Exhale, let the love flow, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Every breath is a new chance,
You are stronger than you know.

You are stronger, you are whole…

If the sky turns dark and cold,
Let your heart be soft, not closed,
Storms will come and storms will leave,
But you’re still standing, still at peace.

Even the trees bend in the wind,
But they don’t break, they rise again,
So don’t hold tight, don’t hold fear,
Let the rhythm pull you near.

No more running, no more chains,
Feel the sunlight on your face,
No more sorrow, no more weight,
Breathe in love and let it stay.

Breathe in, let the pain go, (Oh-oh-oh!)
Exhale, let the love flow, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Every breath is a new chance,
You are stronger than you know.

You are stronger, you are whole…
Track 8: Papa, It’s Okay
Papa, I see the lines on your face,
The weight of the world, time you can’t replace,
You gave your all, never let us see,
But Papa, you can cry, you can talk to me.

You carried the storms, hid the rain,
Swallowed your worries, masked the pain,
But even the strongest need to fall,
Even warriors can lose it all.

Oh-oh, Papa, it’s okay…
You don’t have to fight alone today,
Oh-oh, Papa, dry your eyes,
Even heroes need a place to cry.

Papa, it’s okay… (Oh-oh-oh!)
Lay your burdens down today… (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
You don’t have to be so strong,
We can carry this together all along.

All along, all along…

I know they told you men don’t break,
That showing pain is a mistake,
But love was never meant to hide,
It’s safe with me, it’s warm inside.

You taught me how to walk and run,
But now, Papa, let me be the one,
To hold you close, to let you breathe,
To show you love, to let you be free.

No more silence, no more shame,
Papa, call my name,
No more hiding, no more fear,
Let the pain disappear.

Papa, it’s okay… (Oh-oh-oh!)
Lay your burdens down today… (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
You don’t have to be so strong,
We can carry this together all along.

We can carry this together…
Track 9: Sun Will Shine Again
I see the way you hide your pain,
Walking through life in the pouring rain,
You say you’re fine, but I see the truth,
The weight of the world is crushing you.

But even the darkest night must fade,
Even the storm will find its way,
Hold on tight, just one more day,
The sun will shine again.

Oh-oh, don’t let the fire die,
Oh-oh, keep your head up high,
Even when the road feels long,
You are stronger than you know.

The sun will shine again! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No more tears, no more pain! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Hold on, just wait and see,
There’s light beyond the rain!

Shine again, shine again…

I know it feels like you’re alone,
But you don’t have to fight alone,
Lean on me, take my hand,
Together we will stand.

Even the trees lose their leaves,
But they still grow, still believe,
Seasons change, time will heal,
You will find your light again.

No more shadows, no more fear,
Your heart will rise, the sky is clear,
Lift your hands, feel the breeze,
The sun is shining over thee.

The sun will shine again! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No more tears, no more pain! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Hold on, just wait and see,
There’s light beyond the rain!

Shine again, shine again…
Track 10: No Shame
They say ‘be strong, don’t let them see,
They say ‘real men never cry, just let it be,’
But tell me, how do I breathe when the world feels so heavy?
How do I fight when I’m drowning already?"

Mama told me, ‘pray and hold on tight,’
But some nights, even prayers don’t feel right,
Can’t fake this smile, can’t hide this pain,
I need a shoulder, don’t push me away.

Oh-oh, don’t turn away,
Oh-oh, I’m not afraid to say…
This life gets hard, this mind gets tired,
But I know I’ll find my way.

No shame in needing help! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No shame in healing yourself! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Mental health is real,
Let’s break the chains, let’s keep it real!

No shame! No shame!

They laugh when you say you feel low,
They tell you ‘shake it off, it will go,’
But pain don’t just fade like that,
You can’t run from what’s deep in your past.

So let’s talk, let’s be real,
If you’re hurting, don’t conceal,
Speak your truth, break the chains,
No more silence, no more shame!

If the mind is sick, let it heal,
If the heart is heavy, let it feel,
No more fear, no more blame,
Stand up tall, no more shame!

No shame in needing help! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No shame in healing yourself! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Mental health is real,
Let’s break the chains, let’s keep it real!

No shame! No shame!

You are not alone.
Track 11: My Mind, My Home
I used to fill my mind with fear,
Let the voices pull me near,
Told myself I wasn’t enough,
Let the darkness steal my love.

But I learned that the soul needs space,
A quiet place, a soft embrace,
To plant the seeds, to let them grow,
To make my mind my home.

Oh-oh, I close my eyes,
Oh-oh, I breathe in light,
No more running, no more war,
My heart is open, my mind is sure.

My mind, my home, (Oh-oh-oh!)
I will guard it, let it grow, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
No more storms, no more rain,
I have found my peace again!

Peace again, peace again…

I will fill my walls with grace,
Let the love take fear’s place,
Every wound, every scar,
They don’t define who we are.

Every heartbeat, every day,
I choose to rise, I choose to stay,
No more doubt, no more chains,
I reclaim my home again.

No more shadows, no more fear,
Let the light come shining here,
Every breath, every stone,
Builds the peace inside my home.

My mind, my home, (Oh-oh-oh!)
I will guard it, let it grow, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
No more storms, no more rain,
I have found my peace again!

Peace again, peace again…
Track 12: Letter to My Younger Self.
Dear younger me, I know you’re scared,
So many questions, too much to bear,
You wonder if you’ll ever be enough,
If the world will see your light and love.

You hide your dreams, afraid to fly,
You hold your tears, afraid to cry,
But let me tell you, it’s okay,
You will find your way someday.

Oh-oh, don’t be afraid,
Oh-oh, storms will fade,
You are stronger than you know,
Keep your heart, keep your soul.

One day you’ll rise, one day you’ll see,
The strength you had inside was always free,
No more fear, no more doubt,
You were born to shine, don’t let it burn out!

Don’t let it burn out…

Dear younger me, you’ll lose some friends,
You’ll break your heart and learn to mend,
Not every road will be so clear,
But every lesson brings you here.

So take your time, don’t rush to grow,
Not all who leave are meant to go,
You are enough just as you are,
You were always born to shine like stars.

No more fear, no more pain,
Let the sunlight dry the rain,
Hold your dreams, don’t let them go,
You are loved, this you must know.

One day you’ll rise, one day you’ll see,
The strength you had inside was always free,
No more fear, no more doubt,
You were born to shine, don’t let it burn out!

Don’t let it burn out…
Track 13: Lift Me Up.
I’ve seen the nights that never end,
I’ve walked through fire, lost some friends,
But even when the sky turns grey,
I know my light won’t fade away!

I’ve been broken, I’ve been weak,
Fell so low, forgot to speak,
But now I stand, now I rise,
No more tears in my eyes!

Oh-oh, lift me higher,
Oh-oh, take me there,
Feel the rhythm, hear the drum,
I know my time has come!

Lift me up, don’t let me fall! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Fill my soul with love so tall! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Let me dance, let me shine,
I am healing, I am divine!

We rise, we shine, we dance, we move!

No more chains, no more fear,
Let the music pull you near,
Shake off the past, let go of pain,
We will rise, we will reign!

Turn the music up, feel the beat,
Let your body move, move your feet,
The battle’s done, the war is won,
It’s time to shine just like the sun!

Rise up, stand tall,
Let your heart hear the call,
No more sorrow, no more pain,
We are whole again!

Lift me up, don’t let me fall! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Fill my soul with love so tall! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Let me dance, let me shine,
I am healing, I am divine!

We rise, we shine, we dance, we move!
Track 14: Final Prayer – We Will Be Alright.
If your heart is heavy, lay it down,
If the world feels cold, love will surround,
If the road is dark and you can’t see,
Know that peace will come, just breathe.

Every wound will turn to grace,
Every storm will find its place,
You are held, you are whole,
Let your spirit know.

Oh-oh, dry your tears,
Oh-oh, rest your fears,
The night will end, the sun will rise,
You will see the light inside.

We will be alright! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No more sorrow, no more night! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Through the fire, through the storm,
We will rise, we’ll carry on!

We will rise, we will heal, we are whole!

Even if the road is long,
Even if you feel so gone,
Hold on tight, don’t lose your way,
Love will guide you home someday.

There is healing in the sound,
There is peace all around,
Listen close, feel the drum,
You are safe, you are loved.

No more sorrow, no more chains,
We are free, we are changed,
No more darkness, no more pain,
We are whole again!

Final Chorus – Soulful & Freeing
"We will be alright! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No more sorrow, no more night! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Through the fire, through the storm,
We will rise, we’ll carry on!

We will rise, we will heal, we are whole!

May 18, 2025 Rise – The Voice of a Generation.

Rise – The Voice of a Generation.

Rise: The Voice of a Generation is a 14-track journey through the struggles and strength of African youth. Fusing Afrobeat, conscious rap, and soul, it speaks on broken systems, digital opportunity, unity, and self-empowerment. Each song is a call to rise, reflect, and rebuild. Bold, raw, and inspiring—this is more than an album.

It’s the heartbeat of a generation refusing to be silenced.

Track 1:Intro – Echoes of the Streets
From the dusty roads of Kano to the neon lights of Lagos,
Where dreams are built and broken like glass in the gutters,
The youth hustle, they grind, they rise, they fall,
But through it all, their voices echo in the streets.

See, Mama dey pray for me,
Papa no fit pay the fee,
Degree for hand, but no job dey land,
Na who go help me break this chain?

The streets be my teacher,
Hunger be my preacher,
But man must wisen up,
Cos suffer no be future.

We are the echoes of the streets,
We no go bow, we no retreat,
Even when the night be dark,
The sun go rise, we no defeat.

Rise up, rise up, we dey move!

I see the tears, I feel the pain,
Another youth lost to the game,
Chasing dreams in a broken land,
But hope still dey, we no go stand for shame.

Brother, sister, make you hear,
Our time dey near, no live in fear,
We be kings, we be queens,
Na we go change the atmosphere.

Stand up, my people, we no be slaves,
Our hands dey build, our minds create,
We be the future, the change, the wave,
No more silence, no more wait.

From the dust, we rise,
From the struggle, we fight,
And when the world says no,
We turn echoes into thunder.
Track 2: Hustle & Grind
From the crack of dawn till the streetlights glow,
We dey hustle, we dey move, we dey chase our own,
Some dey push wheelbarrow, some dey sell for junction,
But one thing sure pass: we no go stop till we reach the top.

Born into struggle, we learn how to fight,
We no get silver spoon, but we still shine bright,
From Lagos to Accra, na the same old song,
Man dey hustle from the night till the early morn.

Degree for hand, but no job dey ground,
If no be keke, na POS I run,
But still I rise, still I dream,
Cos nobody fit tell me say I no go win.

We dey hustle, we dey grind,
We go make am, give it time,
Keep the fire burning bright,
Na our turn, na our time.

No retreat, no surrender!

See mama dey wait make I bring something home,
Baby sis dey ask for new school uniform,
If I no stand up, if I no find way,
Who go lift me up, who go clear my way?

But I no fit bow, I no fit break,
Hustle for the bread, but no lose my faith,
Cos today na struggle, tomorrow na reign,
Every hustle must pay, no be just in vain.

Stand up, rise up, no dull yourself,
Learn that skill, build that wealth,
If door no open, create your own,
Na so we dey move, na so we dey grow.

No matter the struggle, no matter the pain,
Every seed we plant, e go grow one day,
No stop, no dull, no lose your way,
Hustle with wisdom, make tomorrow great.

We go make am, give it time!
Track 3: Broken Promises
They tell us wait, tomorrow go better,
They promise roads, they promise light,
But still, we dey for same position,
Still we dey fight, still we dey strive.

Same old story, different election,
Dem go promise change, but na the same direction,
See my people dey suffer, water no dey,
Light go blink once, then e fade away.

You talk, dem go chase you,
EndSARS, we no forget you,
Justice no dey, system no care,
The leaders dey chop, while the youths dey bear.

Broken promises, we don hear am before,
Dey tell us wait, but we no fit no more,
If we no fight, who go open the door?
Our future dey call, we must rise, we must soar.

No more silence, we go rise!

Dem say go school, get degree,
Now I get am, but no job for me,
Dem chop money, build mansion for sea,
But my street still dirty, no road, no tree.

See the youth wey dey para,
Some dey run, some dey tire,
But me, I go fight, me I go speak,
Cos silence na weapon wey make man weak.

No go wait for savior, na we be the change,
Organize, mobilize, no let dem arrange,
If we stand as one, we fit turn the page,
The youth na the future, time to break the cage.

We rise!" and "No more silence!

Enough of broken promises, enough of the lies,
The youth dey rise, the fire no go die,
Na we be the leaders, na we be the light,
If we stand together, we go win this fight.

We go rise, we go shine!
Track 4: Japa Syndrome
Some go say na greener pastures,
Some go say na just survival,
But when your own land push you comot,
Wetin remain for the ones wey no fit go?

Passport ready, one-way flight,
Na so John pack him bags say him wan japa tonight,
School no work, job no sure,
E say, "If I stay for Naija, hunger go burst.

But for airport, e see him guy wey land,
Say, "Bro, no go think say life easy for that side,"
"We dey hustle, we dey grind,
And still we dey miss our motherland.

Oh oh, japa no be only way,
If we build am here, e go better one day,
So many talents, so many dreams,
If we stand together, we fit change this scene.

Japa no be answer, we go rise!

Bro, I no judge you, I know say e hard,
But if all of us run, who go fix the yard?
If na coding, if na trade,
Learn that skill, find your way.

Africa dey bleed, leaders dey chop,
But me and you fit change the plot,
Invest for home, build for street,
So our pikin no go need to flee.

If light no dey, we go light am,
If road no good, we go fix am,
Na we be the future, we go rise up,
Make we build am, make e better.

If all of us run, who go remain?
If all of us build, who go suffer again?
Na we be the change, na we get the dream,
If we no build am, who go give am for free?

We go rise, we go shine!
Track 5: Digital Goldmine
No be only oil money dey for ground,
No be only white-collar job dey pay,
For this digital world, if you sabi the game,
You fit cash out, no delay.

I wake up, log in, check my stats,
My PayPal dey ring, dollars dey land,
Before dem wake for street, I don cash out,
Remote work dey move, see me dey shine.

Man no need to japa, cash flow dey,
Learn that skill, chop money today,
No need for Yahoo, no need for fraud,
Knowledge na power, I swear e go pay.

This na digital goldmine,
Learn that skill, make that money online,
No need to beg, no need to whine,
Your phone be the tool, make you use am shine.

No dull, no slack, money dey for app!

Sade dey broke, job no sure,
She learn graphic design, now she dey tour,
Sammy no fit pay him school fees,
But crypto trade don put am for ease.

Coding, writing, marketing,
Build your brand, start something,
Na who dey hustle, na e go shine,
Your phone fit be your dollar sign.

No go wait for miracle,
No go wait for government,
If you sabi am, if you grind am,
Digital money go elevate you.

You just received $500.

The world don change, no be by certificate,
Na by knowledge, na by mindset,
Open your eyes, see the way,
Your future dey your hands, make you press play.

No dull, no slack, money dey for app!
Track 6: Young & Wild
Likes no fit buy you peace,
Trending no mean say you get real friends,
Dey live for the ‘gram, but dey lost in the mirror,
Tell me, who you be when the filters fade?

Another post, another pic,
Who go like? Who go click?
Scrolling, scrolling, chasing fame,
But still, my mind dey lost for the game.

Gucci bag, fake smile,
Dey stunt online, but e no be real life,
Validation dey for the screen,
But when light go off, who dey there for me?

We be young, we be wild,
But who we be when the mask go down?
Finding self in a world so loud,
Real ones dey, no go drown.

No lose yourself, just hold your ground!

Na who dey flex pass go cry for night,
Influence dey, but no mean say e right,
If na true happiness, na inside you,
No be by clout, no be by view.

Mental health, we no dey talk,
But many youth dey fight their thoughts,
Take am easy, no be race,
Life no be IG, na steady pace.

If no be you, tell me who?
Who go love you if you no love you?
Look inside, find your truth,
The best you dey inside you.

No be everything wey shine be gold,
No be everything wey trend be truth,
Know yourself, love yourself,
Because na only real ones go shine for life.

No lose yourself, just hold your ground!
Track 7: Love & Struggle
We dey manage, we dey try,
But wahala dey test our vibe,
If love na money, then we go fail,
But if na trust, we go prevail.

Baby no go leave me for struggle,
Hold me tight, we go double,
E go better, e go change,
Love no be money, na faith.

We go rise, we go shine, no let go!

My guy say if no money, love no sure,
But my papa dey love my mama before,
We fit hustle, we fit build,
Together we dey strong, na love be shield.

But I know say pressure dey,
Society go talk, family go say,
If e no fit provide, why you dey stay?
But true love no dey count who pay.

Love me when e hard,
Love me when e sweet,
Make we hold each other,
We go reach our peak.

Love no be by designer shoes,
No be by who fit spend pass,
Na by who go stand when things rough,
Who go stay when days dark.

We go rise, we go shine, no let go!
Track 8: Ghetto Superstar
Dem say if you come from trenches, you no fit fly,
But who talk say lion no fit grow inside jungle?
Where you start no define where you go end,
If you believe, if you hustle, you go ascend.

Born for ghetto, life no sweet,
No silver spoon, just dust for street,
Papa dey try, Mama dey pray,
But hunger no dey give man holiday.

Man start to hustle, brick by brick,
Sleepless nights, we dey chase that dream,
Nobody believe, nobody send,
But today, I don change my own story end.

Ghetto superstar, we dey rise,
From the trenches to the skies,
We no go stop, we no go fall,
If we believe, we go conquer all.

Keep pushing, keep shining!

My guy say Bro, e no sure,
But I tell am say, Guy, e go work!
Talent plus hustle, add small grace,
Today, we dey ball, we dey win this race.

See mama smile, see papa proud,
Na we dey change the game for the crowd,
If you from the bottom, no lose hope,
Life no be sprint, my brother, na road.

Stand up, rise up, no fear,
If dem talk, no hear,
The world is yours, go claim,
Na you go write your name.

Ghetto no mean say you no fit shine,
Struggle no mean say you no fit climb,
Look inside, find your way,
Your destiny no fit fade.

Keep pushing, keep shining!
Track 9: Faith Over Fear
Dem say life no balance,
Sometimes e go up, sometimes e go down,
But no matter the storm, if you hold your faith,
You go rise again.

Days wey I cry, nights wey I pray,
Baba God, make You show me the way,
Mama dey fast, Papa dey kneel,
But for this hustle, na faith be my shield.

They tell me say make I give up,
But me, I know say my time dey come,
Na patience, na prayer,
Na only faith go take me higher.

Faith over fear, we no go fall,
Even when e dark, we go stand tall,
Light go shine, breakthrough near,
Keep your faith, make e conquer fear.

Hold on, hold strong!

Remember the boy wey dem talk say e lost?
Now e dey shine, now e be boss,
Na grace, na work, na believe,
If you hold God tight, you go achieve.

E fit delay, but e no go deny,
Destiny dey wait, wipe your eye,
E go happen, no be joke,
Believe say your future go shine like gold.

If storm dey rage, no be the end,
If wahala dey, better days go mend,
Lift your head, raise your voice,
Faith go carry you, you go rejoice.

No matter the storm, no matter the fight,
As long as you breathe, hope still dey light,
Keep your faith, hold am tight,
Tomorrow dey shine, no lose sight.

Faith over fear, we go stand tall!
Track 10: Voice of the Voiceless
They tell us make we silent,
But silence na prison,
If we no talk, who go hear?
If we no rise, who go care?

Street boys dey run, wahala don start,
Police dey vex, e be like war zone attack,
But na who dem suppose to protect,
Na dem dey treat us like convict, no respect.

Bad governance, dem no hear our cry,
We no fit sleep, we no fit try,
Dem dey loot, dem dey chop,
But for ghetto side, e still dey rough.

We be voice of the voiceless,
We no go stop, we no go rest,
Till the system change, till the truth be known,
We go stand strong, we go hold our own.

No retreat, no surrender!

Every ghetto youth, make you stand,
We no go fear, we no go run,
We dey fight for justice, we dey fight for peace,
No more silence, we no go cease.

Tell the leaders, tell them clear,
We no be slaves, we no dey fear,
If we unite, dem go shake,
Na we go break this chain, we go wake.

No let them take your voice away,
Stand for truth, no look away,
We be future, we be light,
We go stand, we go fight.

We need justice!

No go silent when injustice dey,
Na we be the change, na we be the way
If we stand, if we rise,
Na we go bring the morning light.

No retreat, no surrender!
Track 11: No Handouts
Nobody go dash you wealth,
Nobody go hand you success,
If you wan chop, you go grind,
If you wan shine, you go find.

Dem say money no dey,
But me, I know say way dey,
Na who fit think, na who fit plan,
Na e go chop, na e go stand.

I no dey wait for manna fall,
My hand dey work, my mind dey tall,
If hustle dey, my blessings sure,
Success no be by luck, e get law.

No handouts, we dey grind,
If you wan shine, make you find,
Opportunity dey for who go move,
If you no work, na who go prove?

No dull, no slack, build your stack!

See my guy Seyi, e dey code,
Now e dey work for tech remote,
See my babe Sandra, she dey bake,
Now she dey cash out, money no fake.

Some dey wait for government,
Some dey beg for settlement,
But me I know say time no dey,
I no fit slack, I go find my way.

If money no dey, make you learn,
No dey wait, no dey bend,
The future bright, just make am work,
Your destiny dey your hand, no stop.

No wait for help wey no go come,
If you wan shine, make you run,
The road dey tough, but if you stand,
Success go shake you for hand.

No dull, no slack, build your stack!
Track 12: Africa Dream
Dem tell us say Africa no fit rise,
Say we no fit build, say we no fit shine,
But na lie, na trick, na big disguise,
Our hands go shape the dream, our minds go climb."

They say make we run, say future no sure,
But me, I see gold, I see diamonds in our floor,
See my brother wey dey code, my sister wey dey trade,
If we fit believe, na we go elevate.

See the sun, see the land,
See the strength wey dey our hand,
If we fit build, if we fit plan,
We go turn this place to promised land.

This na African dream,
Where we rise, where we win,
We go shine, we go build,
Africa strong, e no go sink.

One love, one fight, future bright!

Why we dey beg, why we dey wait?
We get the power to change our fate,
Business, tech, music, art,
If we join hands, we fit restart.

Europe dey fear, America dey watch,
Because dem know say we get torch,
The fire dey burn, the youth dey wake,
African dream, we go elevate.

Stand up, Africa, time don reach,
Build that dream, make e big,
We get gold, we get mind,
No go let dem steal our shine.

If we no build, who go build?
If we no dream, who go lead?
Na we get this land, na we be the light,
African dream go shine so bright.

One love, one fight, future bright!
Track 13: One People, One Voice
Dem try divide us, but dem no succeed,
Different tribes, different tongues, but the same seed,
If we join hands, if we stand tall,
We go rise, we go break that wall.

Why we dey fight, why we dey tear?
Na the same struggle, na the same prayer,
Na the same sweat, na the same sun,
If we move as one, we go overcome.

See my brother from the North,
See my sister from the South,
Everybody wan chop,
Everybody wan house.

But if we no work as team,
If we no move as one,
The leaders go still dey play,
Dem go use us for fun.

One people, one voice,
If we stand together, we go rise,
No division, no more fight,
We be one, we be light.

One heart, one love, we be strong!

Na who go gain if we break apart?
Na who go win if we tear the land?
Dem dey laugh when we dey fight,
Dem dey chop while we dey cry.

So make we learn, make we grow,
Build am right, make e flow,
If Ghana dey move, Nigeria dey stand,
If Kenya dey rise, we all go expand.

Forget the tribe, forget the hate,
We get power to elevate,
Africa to the world, na time don reach,
We go spread love, we go preach.

If we hold hands, we go shine,
If we love deep, we go climb,
No let dem break our bond,
Na unity go make us strong.

One love, one Africa

No matter your tribe, no matter your name,
We all dey under the same flame,
Na together we go win,
Na unity be the dream.

One heart, one love, we be strong!
Track 14: Legacy
The greatest wealth no be money,
No be car, no be mansion,
Na the name wey we go leave,
Na the road wey we go pave.

Na who go stand if we no lead?
Na who go rise if we no teach?
Na who go build if we no dream?
We be giants, but we dey sleep.

Dem say the future bright,
But who go light the fire?
If we no plant the seed,
How we go see empire?

What’s your legacy?
What you go leave for the next to see?
If you rise, who you go lift?
Make your name be a gift.

Rise up, build strong, pass it on!

My papa tell me say,
No be today, e be long way,
If you wan chop fruit,
You gats plant am from yesterday.

Legend no be by chance,
Legend no be by luck,
Na by work, na by heart,
Na by lifting who dey back.

We are the future.

If we build, if we grow,
Next generation go know,
Na love, na truth,
Na legacy we go show.

No be how much you get,
No be how far you go,
Na who you help, na who you grow,
Na the footprints wey you go leave for road.

Rise up, build strong, pass it on!
Experience the Movement.
Rise: The Voice of a Generation is more than an album—it’s a call to awaken, unite, and build a better future.
