Afrobeat Heartbeat

I created Afrobeat Heartbeat because I wanted to make something that could always lift my spirits. To me, this album is a source of pure joy, it is a rhythm that can pull you out of any slumber and brighten your day. I’ve mixed happy vibes and uplifting energy with calm, relaxing Afrobeat. For example, waking up in the morning. I hope these tracks bring you the same happiness that I felt while creating them.

Lyrics

1. Chase Your Dreams

Eeh! Dream big o…
No fear, no doubt…
We dey chase am… Till e come true!

I get big dream for my heart, e dey burn like fire
From small boy days, I know say I go rise higher
Dem laugh, dem talk, say e no possible
But I no listen, my focus na unstoppable
Hustle every night, pray every morning
Obstacles come, but I keep on pushing
Believe in yourself, na the key wey open door
Your dream na your own, make you fight for more

Chase your dreams, chase chase chase your dreams
No go tire, till you reach this scene
Achieve am, make e come true
Sky na the start, nothing wey you no fit do
Chase your dreams, eh eh eh
Victory sweet when the hustle pay
Chase your dreams, no dey look back
Turn your vision to reality, fact!

See the top dey call me, I dey climb steady
Road rough small, but my mind dey ready
From zero to hero, na grace and grind
Dream big big, leave the haters behind
You fit be doctor, artist, or boss
Whatever your heart want, no mind the cost
Work hard, stay true, watch am manifest

2. Hustle for the Bag

Eeh! Make we hustle o…

I wake up early, no time for sleep
Street dey call me, the grind too deep
From nothing to something, na my ambition
Hustle every day, no competition
Dem talk say e hard, but I no dey hear
Eye on the prize, I shift every gear
Phone dey ring, deals dey come
From Cabo to London, we go overcome

Hustle for the bag, hustle hustle for the bag
Ambition high, we no go lag

Grind till we shine, break every chain

See the Benz outside, mansion dey wait
Gold on my neck, na success taste
Started from bottom, now we dey fly
Enemies watch, but we touch the sky
No give up o, the hustle na real
Work till your pocket no fit conceal
Invest in yourself, build empire tall
Wealth na our portion, we answer the call

Hustle for the bag, hustle hustle for the bag

3. One Life Wake Up And Live It

Easy now
Open your eyes
Sun on your face
New day, new try

Kettle on
Feet on the floor
Little stretch
You’re wanting more
Small mirror
You like that smile
You made it here
Stay for a while

One life, wake up and live it
Deep breath, feel how it’s giving
Golden morning on your skin
Let the good days pour in
One life, wake up and live it

Bills on the table
Still,
you’re able,
laugh for nothing
Dance in the kitchen
Call your people, hear them listen
Tiny wins, turn to vision

You got time? (You got time)
Use it all (Use it all)
Heart so loud (Heart so loud)
Hear it call (Hear it call)
Every breath
Brand new start
Say “I’m rich”
In soul and heart

4. Grow Like Tree

Eeh… Grow o…
From seed to mighty tree…
Personal growth…
Na the real flex!

Yesterday I fall, but today I rise
Learn from my mistakes, open my eyes
Old ways dey heavy, I drop dem like load
New me dey emerge, on a better road
Read book, meditate, build my mind strong
Face my fears, where I belong
No be overnight, na step by step
Personal growth, na the best rep

Grow like tree, grow grow like tree
Roots, deep down, reach for the sky free
Personal growth, make you shine bright
From, inside out
Grow like tree, eh eh eh
Stronger every day, no dey fade
Grow like tree, branch out wide
Better version of me, full of pride!

Cut off toxic, plant good seeds
Surround with love, fulfill my needs
Body fit, mind sharp, spirit high
Heal the wounds, no more deny
Patience na key, time go reveal
The power inside, na the real deal
From caterpillar to butterfly
Personal growth, touch the sky

Grow like tree, grow grow like tree
Roots, deep down, reach for the sky free
Personal growth (shine) make you shine bright
From, inside out
Grow like tree, eh eh eh
Stronger every day, no dey fade
Grow like tree, branch out wide
Better version of me, full of pride!

E no easy o, but e worth am o
Pain na teacher, growth na freedom o
Believe in yourself, watch am unfold
You be the author, your story bold…
Eeh! Grow!

Grow like tree, grow grow like tree (grow!)
Roots deep down, reach for the sky free (sky!)
Personal growth (shine) make you shine bright
From inside out
Grow like tree, eh eh eh
Stronger every day, no dey fade (never fade!)
Grow like tree, branch out wide
Better version of me, full of pride! (pride o!)

Grow… Personal growth… Like tree… Eh eh!
Afrobeat evolution… We rise!

5. Training Hard on the Afrobeat

Count it up
Warm it up

Let’s go
Sweat

Heartbeat on tempo
Coach say “move”

Body say “say less”
Rhythm in my chest
Power in my steps

Early in the morning
Soles hit ground
Sun just peeking
But we turn up now
Band on the ankle
Fire in the thighs
Every little rep put the strength in my stride

I’ve been training hard on the Afrobeat (Hey!)
Feet don’t stop when I feel that heat (Yeah!)
Body on fire but I stay on beat
I’ve been training hard on the Afrobeat
I’ve been training hard on the Afrobeat

Drop low, rise up
Core stay tight
One more set
We don’t stop midfight
Sweat on the floor like a victory sign
Pain in the muscle but the power in my mind

Left side
Right side
All in sync
Push past the point where excuses think

I say “strong!” — you say “strong!”
This whole squad been grinding all along (Woh)

6. Morning In The Trees time to rise

Soft light on your face
Little bird on the sill
Calling your name
Cool air in the room
Leaves dance slow on the window frame

Morning in the trees
Time to rise
Open up your eyes
Easy
Breathe with the breeze
Feel it inside
Wake up gentle
Wake up free

One drum in the distance
Kettle starts to sing in the quiet
Sun climbs a little higher
Heart beats steady with the choir of silence

Step to the floor
Feel the earth
Every second getting bright
Getting bright now
Hands to the sky
Feel your worth
Every heartbeat getting loud
Getting loud now

7. Pure Affection

Ooh na na… My baby, my love…
Feel the beat, come closer…

From the moment I see you, my heart dey skip beat
Your smile like sunshine, e dey light up the street
No need for plenty talk, your eyes tell me true

8. You Leave Me So

Ahh… ahh…
E dey pain me oh…
But the beat still dey play…
Make I talk my truth tonight…

Baby, remember when we dey vibe every night?
Your head on my chest, everything feel right
We talk about forever, build castle for air
Now the castle don fall, and you no dey there
I gave you my heart, you handle am rough
Promises wey you make, turn to dust
Now I dey walk this street, with your name for my mouth
But the love wey we get, don turn inside out

Why you leave me so? Why you break me so?
I no fit pretend, this pain e dey show
Your love was my medicine, now e turn poison
Heartbreak dey teach me, but the lesson too hard oh

You leave me so, you wound me so
My heart dey bleed, but I no fit let go
E dey pain me oh, this love wey don die
But I still dey dance, make I no cry
You leave me so, you scatter my soul
Relationship sweet, now e turn to sorrow
Baby come back, or make I move on
This heartbreak heavy, but life must go on

I see your picture, e dey bring back the tears
All the sweet memories, now turn to my fears
We fight, we make up, we kiss under rain
Now silence dey loud, e dey drive me insane
You find another, say e better than me
But deep down I know, na lie you dey tell
I no go beg you, pride no go gree
But this empty bed, e dey kill me slowly

Why you leave me so? Why you break me so?
I no fit pretend, this pain e dey show
Your love was my medicine, now e turn poison
Heartbreak dey teach me, but the lesson too hard oh

You leave me so, you wound me so
My heart dey bleed, but I no fit let go
E dey pain me oh, this love wey don die
But I still dey dance, make I no cry
You leave me so, you scatter my soul
Relationship sweet, now e turn to sorrow
Baby come back, or make I move on
This heartbreak heavy, but life must go on

Time go heal am, dem talk am well well
But right now e dey burn, like fire for hell
I go rise again, stronger than before
One day I go love, and no go fear more
But tonight… I go feel this pain…
Dance through the tears… in the pouring rain…

You leave me so… (you wound me so)
My heart dey bleed… but I no go fall…
E dey pain me oh… but I go survive…
Afrobeat heal me… tonight…

Afrobeat heal me… tonight…

9. I’m Gonna Get Her Back

Ooh na na…

But this love too strong…

I let you go, na big mistake
Heart dey pain me, every night I no dey sleep
You be the best wey I ever had

But I know deep down, you still dey my heart
No pride go stop me, I go beg on my knees

Now you dey here, back in my arms for real
The best decision, na this love we seal
You whisper soft, “You be the one for me”
We dance slow slow, finally free
No more sorrow, just joy overflow

10. PLevanta e Brilha

Êh êh, Afrobeat na veia
Levanta, levanta, brilha meu irmão
Oh oh oh, vamos dançar

Acordo de manhã, sol já tá a rir
Problema na cabeça, mas eu não vou cair
Pego no meu ritmo, boto pé no chão
Afrobeat no sangue, coração em explosão
A vida é curta, não vou desperdiçar
Vou viver o dia, vou me libertar
Amigos ao lado, família a chamar
Juntos somos fortes, ninguém vai parar

Quando o mundo pesa, eu danço mais forte
Quando a dor chega, eu canto mais alto
Porque eu sei, eu sei…

Levanta e brilha, brilha meu irmão
O beat tá chamando, vem pro salão
Levanta e brilha, não para não
Afrobeat na alma, vamos em frente oh oh

(Levanta e brilha) Êh
(Levanta e brilha) Êh

Menina bonita dança ao meu lado
Sorriso aberto, olhar encantado
A noite é nossa, o som tá alto
Esquece o passado, vive o momento
Dos guetos de Lagos ao mundo inteiro
O ritmo nos une, quebra fronteira
Mão no ar, corpo a mexer
Essa é a nossa força, ninguém vai deter

Quando a dúvida vem, eu danço mais forte
Quando o medo chega, eu canto mais alto
Porque eu sei…, eu sei, eu sei…
Levanta e brilha, brilha meu irmão
O beat tá chamando, vem pro salão
Levanta e brilha, não para não
Afrobeat na alma, vamos em frente oh oh

(Levanta e brilha) Êh
(Levanta e brilha) Êh
(Levanta e brilha) Êh
(Levanta e brilha) Êh

Verse Dansa oh
Vive a vida Afrobeat na veia Sempre E sempre

Run in the sun, baby run in the sun!
Dunes dey call me, ocean dey hum!
Fields dey wave, farms dey smile wide
Beach dey hot, waves dey provide!
Run run run to the rhythm sweet
Nature dey groove, feel am under my feet!
No worry, no hurry, just move with the sound

Morning light dey kiss my face so sweet
Golden sand dunes, running wild is a treat
Wind dey blow, whispering my name
Sea dey dance, calling “come again!”
From the green fields where the maize dey grow tall
Past the black soil where the farmers dey call
Coconut trees swaying, palm wine in the air
I dey run, I dey run, no problem anywhere!

Run in the sun, baby run in the sun!
Dunes dey call me, ocean dey hum!
Fields dey wave, farms dey smile wide
Beach dey hot, waves dey provide!

Heartbeat matching the talking drum, e funny
Beach sand warm, waves dey kiss my toe
I dey run till sunset, never slow!
No boss, no wahala, just me and the vibe
Heartbeat pumping, keeping me alive
From the valley to the top of the hill
Run in the nature, e dey give me the thrill!

You dey feel am?

12. Level up now we no go lag

Eeh! We don level up o…
From hustle to the bag, now the bag dey burst!
Ambition no dey sleep… Money dey call… Let’s go!

I remember days when pocket dey empty
Street dey tough, but my mind dey ready
Now the hustle pay, see the money plenty
Benz dey park, Rolex dey shine steady
No more 9 to 5, na boss moves only
Invest wise, watch the empire grow slowly
Enemies dey watch, but we no dey worry
Success na sweet, make dem feel the glory

Hustle for the bag, hustle hustle for the bag (bag burst!)
Level up now, we no go lag
Wealth dey pour like rain from the sky
Private jet dey fly, we touch high high
Hustle for the bag, eh eh eh eh
Mansion full, no more small space
Hustle for the bag, grind no stop
From the bottom to the top, we own the spot!

Gold chain heavy, diamonds dey sparkle
Started from zero, now the table marble
Phone dey blow, business dey double
Haters dey talk, but we no dey trouble
Oluwa bless the move, grace dey follow
Ambition na fire, e no dey hollow
Family dey chop, no more sorrow
Tomorrow brighter, we dey borrow no borrow

Hustle for the bag, hustle hustle for the bag (bag burst!)
Level up now, we no go lag
Wealth dey pour like rain from the sky
Private jet dey fly, we touch high high
Hustle for the bag, eh eh eh
Mansion full, no more small space
Hustle for the bag, grind no stop
From the bottom to the top, we own the spot!

See the yacht dey float, vacation sweet
Designer full body, from head to feet
Hustle turn legacy, na for the kids
Build generation wealth, no more limits
No dulling o, the grind continue
Even when bag full, we pursue
Ambition na king, e dey rule
Hustle for the bag, na the golden rule

Eeh! No sleep o, eye on the prize
From street to suite, see the rise
Money rain down, bless up twice
Hustle hard, live nice… Level up!

Hustle for the bag (bag burst!)
Level up now, we no go lag (never!)
Wealth dey pour like rain from the sky (rain down!)
Private jet dey fly, we touch high high (fly o!)
Hustle for the bag, eh eh eh
Mansion full, no more small space
Hustle for the bag, grind no stop
From the bottom to the top, we own the spot! (we dey!)
Hustle… Level up… Bag full… Eh eh!
