Emancipate

by Steve Umculo

/

about

Emancipate is Steve Umculo's second foot stomping, hip moving, head bobbing single that blends a love of African rhythm with harmonic folk rock.

lyrics

You have begun your journey
With an entity that existentially
Will liberate your mental slavery and move your body

Forget your fears and worries
The rhythm, the groove, the rhyme will make you lose sense of time
T-t-take a look inside and what you'll find is sublime

Come along, come along, come along
We are young and our time is short
Sing a song, sing a song, sing a-a song
Come undone, come for more

Inkululeko, inkululeko, woah (woa-um)
Inkululeko, inkululeko, wo-o-o-oah
Inkululeko, inkululeko, woah
Emancipate and liberate, let go

Lock into this, keep it moving
With energy that will eventually
Put every little part of us in total ecstasy

Be one with me, take it easy
Our soul’s at liberty, collective autonomy
Feel what it’s like to be free

Inkululeko, inkululeko, woah (woa-um)
Inkululeko, inkululeko, wo-o-o-oah
Inkululeko, inkululeko, woah
Emancipate and liberate, let go

Sing sing sing with me,
We are the ones who are meant to be free
And we will have more

Live life in ecstasy
Live in a world that will feed your craving
To just let go

Come along, come along, come along
We are young and our time is short
Sing a song, sing a song, sing a-a song
Come undone, come for more

Come along, come along, come along
InkululEko
Come along, come along, come along
Inkululeko
Come along, come along, come along
Inkululeko
