[Verse]
Echoes from the roots, where the rhythm first spoke,
Marley burned bright, gave the world that smoke.
Turntables spinning, Kool Herc's the spark,
Bronx lit the fire, hip-hop from the dark.
Fela with the afrobeat, a lion with his pride,
Truth in the drum, revolution worldwide.
[Prechorus]
They laid the bricks, we climb the stairs,
Legends in the air, their voices still there.
[Chorus]
Pillars of the beat, they made the world move,
Grooves so deep, they smoothed the rough grooves.
From Kingston to Lagos, Bronx to the Bay,
We stand on their shoulders, dancehall today.
[Verse 2]
MJ moonwalked, touched the stars with his feet,
Prince turned purple skies into endless heat.
Aretha made respect a battle cry,
Nina sang truths, made the spirits fly.
Bob Dylan penned storms, words carved in stone,
Lennon imagined peace, a world not alone.
[Bridge]
Basslines hum like a heart in the chest,
Every note a lifeline, their songs manifest.
From vinyl to streams, the journey don't pause,
Greats carved the way, now we carry the cause.
[Chorus]
Pillars of the beat, they made the world move,
Grooves so deep, they smoothed the rough grooves.
From Kingston to Lagos, Bronx to the Bay,
We stand on their shoulders, dancehall today.
