Bare feet dust on the red dry ground
Ancient rhythm in a low drum sound
Hips draw circles in the heat
Earth rise heavy under my feet
Braids tight, sweat on skin
Sunset fire from deep within
I don’t rush what the night unfold
I move like stories old
Palm to drum, let it answer back
Spine roll slow with the clap-clap-clap
No soft glow, no polite grace
Just that pulse I can’t replace
If it speak, it speak in skin
Under ribs, deep within
No crown gold, no throne high
Just that rhythm that never die
Hold that one — let it pound
Let it circle round and round
Let it drop low to the floor
That’s the woman at her core
Stay on one — don’t break the chain
Feel that fire in your veins
If it burn just a little strong
That’s where you belong
Midnight moon on copper skin
Quiet smile but a lion within
I been drought, I been rain
I been pleasure, I been pain
You want shine? I want root
Feet in dirt, fruit in fruit
Beauty rise where the scars still sing
Where the deep drums ring
No borrowed name, no borrowed throne
This my rhythm, this my bone
I don’t bend when the wind get loud
I move like thunder cloud
If I step, it shake the sand
If I speak, you understand
Every scar got rhythm tone
This my zone
Hold that drum — let it breathe
Let it sweat down my sleeve
If it shake but don’t fall
That’s the call
No small talk — just flame
Slow grind, no shame
Let it cook in the night air
That’s the power I wear
I don’t chase a polished crown
I like dust when it settle down
I like truth in a crooked line
Wild heart, still divine
You can’t fake that ancestral sound
That low chant from the ground
When the drum hit chest and spine
That’s mine
Drag it deep in the sand
Feel the pulse in your hand
No spotlight, no throne
Just the rhythm alone
Two hips slow, one heart beat
Let the circle stay complete
If it linger when it’s done
That’s the mother, that’s the sun
Hey!
Bring the drum!
On the one!
No disguise, no mask
Let the ancestors ask
If it run through your spine
You already in line
Last beat — let it fall
No explaining at all
If it echo when it’s gone
That’s the song
Mm…
Let it roll…
Leave the dust…
Leave the fire…
Yeah…
