Lyrics
This log drum shakes the red dust loose from my shuka's fold
A story that the feet have always known, but never told
The rhythm pulls a single thread until the day unravels
Right here on this cracked cement, my spirit travels
[Chorus]
Woza! Let the pattern break!
Woza! Make the shuka shake!
[Verse 2]
Gogo's laughing from her plastic chair, she's weaving air
Her joy a patchwork quilt we all can wear
The city's hum is just a bassline we are dancing on
Stitching all our shadows into one 'til break of dawn
[Chorus]
Woza! Let the pattern break!
Woza! Make the shuka shake!
[Bridge]
One heartbeat, a thousand feet
The soil remembers this rhythm, sweet
[Chorus]
Woza! Let the pattern break!
Woza! Make the shuka shake!
[Outro]
Eh, make the shuka shake...
(Helele) Make the shuka shake...
