Mama Go Tell Them 2

Verse

Siesta light, your shadow on the wall

Cassava bread cooling by the open gate

Dad's old radio crackling through the day

You smile soft when the juju hits the right stride

Pre-Chorus

Tell me you feel it coming up from the ground

Every step I take into this rhythm town

This isn't just a tune, it's where we belong

Can you hear the drum say, 'Don't let go' yet?

Chorus

Mama go tell them when they ask for our name

We're not lost in time, we made our own frame

We came here running to the sound and the heat

Nowhere left to chase but what's right under our feet

Verse

Neighbourhood kids playing barefoot on the block

Every summer evening turns into a long-shot shot

Your hand finds mine as we dance through the smoke

Grandma's wisdom: 'Let your hips talk, don't break the cloak

Pre-Chorus

Tell me you feel it coming up from the ground

Every step I take into this rhythm town

This isn't just a tune, it's where we belong

Can you hear the drum say, 'Don't let go' yet?

Chorus

Mama go tell them when they ask for our name

We're not lost in time, we made our own frame

We came here running to the sound and the heat

Nowhere left to chase but what's right under our feet

Bridge

Leave the maps behind, let your body chart

In this moment, we don't need a single part

Only heartbeats moving through the night

This is how our story finds its own light
