Spirit in the Compound

[Intro]
[soft balafon riff
Hand percussion building]
Yebo
Ah ah
(hey!)
[Chorus]
Everybody for the compound
Make we rise up
Two step
One shoulder
Lift am higher
From Lagos go to Jozi
We dey light up
Spirit in the compound
Fire
Fire
[Verse 1]
Small body
Big waist
You dey scatter
White teeth
Brown skin
Sweet like atta
Palm wine for my hand
Sweat for collar
You turn once
My heart don hala (hey!)
[Chorus]
Everybody for the compound
Make we rise up
Two step
One shoulder
Lift am higher
From Accra down to Kinshasa
We dey light up
Spirit in the compound
Fire
Fire
[Instrumental]
[percussion solo
Talking drum answers balafon
Bass slides in and out]
[Hook]
Oya move
My people
Move
If you tire
Body still groove
Oya dance
My people
Dance
This your chance
This your chance (oh yeah)
[Instrumental]
[log drums and shakers lock in
Vocal chops echo the hook]
[Bridge]
If e sweet you
Shout “ayé!”
If you dey feel am
Shout “ayé!”
From the dust till break of day
Na our joy
We go celebrate (ayé!)
[Chorus]
Everybody for the compound
Make we rise up
Two step
One shoulder
Lift am higher
From Kigali reach to Bamako
We dey light up
Spirit in the compound
Fire
Fire
[Instrumental]
[long rolling groove
Call-and-response talking drum
Balafon solo
Crowd chants fading out]

Afro-house groove at 120–124 BPM built on layered percussion (talking drum, conga, djembe, shekere, balafon riffs), deep rolling bass, and bright log drum stabs. Male vocals, laid-back but charismatic. Verses stay minimal and chant-like; chorus blossoms with gang vocals, call-and-response, and claps. Long hypnotic instrumental sections with evolving percussion breaks, filtered synth pads, and subtle vocal chops. DJ-friendly extended format with tension-and-release builds and a final uplifting peak.
