Slow Down (Block Party)
Kibi10 plays
Create Afrobeats/Afro-fusion English male vocal lyrics: Sun-warmed, playful narrative following a street vendor’s impromptu sunset dance-off with neighborhood friends after a full workday. Music parameters: 118 BPM, G major, warm celebratory laid-back groove. Core instrumentation: dundun talking drums carrying call-and-response rhythm, layered percussion (shakers, bongos, shekere, agogo bell), bouncy locked-in bassline, bright highlife-style palm-muted clean guitar licks, soft glittering synth arpeggios, brassy trumpet stabs. Emotion: giddy, lighthearted, deeply communal; vocals have smooth, effortless flowing phrasing, playful ad-libs, unforced joyful delivery tailored for easy dancing.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Sun is dipping low (low) Pack them in a row (row) Empty crates on the floor Selling nothing more (no more) Wipe the heat from my face Feel the rhythm of the place [Pre-Chorus] Hear the talking drum speak Making all the knees weak Agogo bell starts to ring Now everybody wants to sing [Chorus] We dancing in the golden light Everything is feeling right Work is done, the day is through I just want to move with you [Post-Chorus] Oya, dance for me (dance) Move your body free (free) Left, right, catch the beat Dust rising from our feet [Break] [Verse] Kojo brings the bongo drum Tell the lazy boys to come Highlife guitar start to play Wash the heavy heat away Sister Mary joins the line Looking like a summer wine [Pre-Chorus] Hear the talking drum speak Making all the knees weak Agogo bell starts to ring Now everybody wants to sing [Chorus] We dancing in the golden light Everything is feeling right Work is done, the day is through I just want to move with you [Bridge] Trumpet blowing in the breeze Shakers moving with the trees One time for the neighborhood Doing what we know is good Two times for the setting sun Life has only just begun [Hook] Step to the bright Stay in the sight Keep the vibe light All through the night [Chorus] We dancing in the golden light Everything is feeling right Work is done, the day is through I just want to move with you [Post-Chorus] Oya, dance for me (dance) Move your body free (free) Left, right, catch the beat Dust rising from our feet [Outro]
