Beat Tribes
(yo, listen)
Touch down in the city,
move silent and wise
Never mind what they talk,
I got eyes on the prize
From Lagos to London,
the pressure don't fold
Turn copper to silver and iron to gold (never fold)
Two steps with the bounce,
watch the heavy bass roll
Keep my spirit aligned and protect my own soul
They want to know how we make it align
Step by step in our own space and time
(yeah, watch it climb)
We bring the bounce with the slide in the street
Heavyweight kick when we lock with the beat
No retreat, yeah we stand on our feet (ah-ha)
We bring the bounce with the slide in the street
Every single night we repeat and complete
Oya tell them again,
we don't break under load
Smooth with the cadence,
we own every road
Hard kicks on the surface,
the groove is
alive
Forty-eight bars just to watch it survive
(survive, yeah)
Slide on the corner,
no slipping on ice
Only count blessings, don't think about twice
They want to know how we make it align
Step by step in our own space and time
(watch it now)
We bring the bounce with the slide in the street
Heavyweight kick when we lock with the beat
No retreat, yeah we stand on our feet
(we stand on our feet)
We bring the bounce with the slide in the street
Every single night we repeat and complete
When the drums strip down to the bone
Still got the groove on my own (ay-ay)
Clear path, steady road ahead
We write the future instead
Bounce with the slide,
yeah
(bring it back)
Lock with the beat,
don't stop
(yeah, it's done)
