about

Powerful Afro Dancehall Reggae anthem which features Dawuni's experimentation with traditional African drumming and Dancehall.
“The title Beats of Zion is inspired by a vision of the drumbeat of awareness and elevation of consciousness; a musical call to arms for my audience to be proactive in this day and age as to each person’s responsibility to be an active instrument for positive change.” - Rocky Dawuni

lyrics

Police on patrol another ace is in the hole
Got a new beat on repeat and now the nations on their feet
Singing, ready to rally
In it to win it, ready for it
Like lead this is heavy, ready for it, you can bet upon it, ready for it
All around the tower people feel the power

Beats of Zion, beats of Zion
Those who can hear it go ahead and share it
Beats of Zion, beats of Zion
The beat, the beat, the beat, the beat of Zion

Everybody knows, everybody know we run show
We’ll be stepping into your scene with a new rhythm for hope
Feel the love moving, ready for it
And I know you can dig it, ready for it
A good vibe winning and you know we mean it
Everybody dancing I heard the choir singing

Beats of Zion, beats of Zion
Music for the people I heard them saying
Beats of Zion, beats of Zion
The beat, the beat, the beat, the beat of Zion

All over town they know we are coming in coming in coming in
We know the music gonna be moving in moving in moving
And then we take the people higher and higher and higher
Now they all know the feel of fire the fire the fire

Hope is beat, beats of Zion, beats of Zion
Mama used to say, hope is a beat, beats of Zion
Beats of Zion, beats of Zion
I know you can feel it go ahead and show it
Beats of Zion, beats of Zion
I know you can feel it go ahead and sing it
Beats of Zion, beats of Zion

Yeah you got to get on down and move to the beat, beats of Zion
(repeat till fade)
