Keep it low and let it rise

Verse

Red sand under the speaker skin

Two in the morning and we letting it in

Log drum knocking on a concrete wall

Nobody watching when the bassline call

Dust rising soft where the sun won't land

Thando's hips catch every beat, no command

Shoulders to shoulders like a circle of fire

Every voice that lifts is getting higher

Pre-Chorus

Feel it building in the marrow now

Keep your feet on the ground but don't come down

Hands up high where the smoke curls slow

Let the city go as the morning blows

Chorus

Keep it low and let it rise

Feet still moving when the sky turns bright

Keep it low and let it rise

We are the fire that never dies

Verse

Bassline deep through a wooden floor

Nobody dancing, everybody wants more

City lights blink like they're watching us now

Every heartbeat saying we don't come down

Shakers rattling in a plastic cup

Sipho's calling out when the rhythm gets rough

Circle turns tighter every single round

This is our hour, this is our ground

Pre-Chorus

Feel it building in the marrow now

Keep your feet on the ground but don't come down

Hands up high where the smoke curls slow

Let the city go as the morning blows

Chorus

Keep it low and let it rise

Feet still moving when the sky turns bright

Keep it low and let it rise

We are the fire that never dies

Bridge

No clocks, no sleep, just this drumline's pulse

Every breath we take is getting louder, bolder

The night says stay but our hips say otherwise

This is where we burn like a city of light

Chorus

Keep it low and let it rise

Feet still moving when the sky turns bright

Keep it low and let it rise

We are the fire that never dies
