Rhythm of the Body lyrics
Verse
Sun dey climb, market dey wake
Waist don warm, before the drum sake
Bata dust rise for my toe
Shoulder catch the bassline low
Pre-Chorus
Who control this heat inside?
Who dey turn my step, my stride?
Something pull me, I no fight
Body don answer to the light
Chorus
Rhythm of the body, o
Waist and drum dey talk, no words
Rhythm of the body, o
Sun on skin, we move like bird
Rhythm of the body, o
Feet don find where heart belong
Verse
Palm oil light for evening sky
Gong dey call, I no ask why
Sweat turn gold for shoulder bone
Hip dey answer, drum alone
Pre-Chorus
Who control this heat inside?
Who dey turn my step, my stride?
Something pull me, I no fight
Body don answer to the light
Chorus
Rhythm of the body, o
Waist and drum dey talk, no words
Rhythm of the body, o
Sun on skin, we move like bird
Rhythm of the body, o
Feet don find where heart belong
Bridge
No more name, no more face
Just the pulse and the space
Chest and drum, one heartbeat
Skin remember, mind delete
Chorus
Rhythm of the body, o
Waist and drum dey talk, no words
Rhythm of the body, o
Sun on skin, we move like bird
Rhythm of the body, o
Feet don find where heart belong
