In the rhythm of the beat, the Afro begins to sway,
A fusion of cultures, a vibrant display.
From Lagos to Accra, to the streets of New York,
Afro beats and hip-hop, a harmonious talk.

The drums, they speak with power and grace,
Telling stories of struggle and embracing our race.
The melodies, they soar, lifting spirits high,
Celebrating our heritage, reaching for the sky.

Afro beats, they carry the essence of the land,
Rooted in tradition, yet modern and grand.
The pulse of the djembe, the strum of the guitar,
Creating a tapestry of sound that takes us far.

Hip-hop, a revolution, a voice for the unheard of,
Speaking truth to power, with every single word.
From the Bronx to Compton, it found its way,
Empowering the marginalized, each and every day.

The flow of the lyrics, the rhythm of the rhyme,
Expressing our struggles, our triumphs, and time.
Afro and hip-hop, a beautiful blend,
Uniting cultures, transcending trends.

So let the music play, let the beats ignite,
Afro and hip-hop, shining bright.
In every note, in every verse,
A celebration of our music, a blessing, a curse.

MICHAEL
🥁
Blowing on my Bugle Horn
Broke a Fiddle like Michael Dorn
Took my Tuba belt a Tune
Like Jesse James goes in Saloon

Pied Piper plays a Flute no Less
Ram's Horn blaring means to Bless
Jimmy Hendrix on Guitar
R&B wherever you Are

Opera Singers sing their Song
Piccolos tweet all day long
Triangles tinkle in the Night
Hell's Bells tell those frightful Sights

Tambourines and Harps they play
Off and on all through the day

And the beat goes on,
The music never ends,
The rhythm never stops,
The dancing never bends.
The sound of the drums,

And the strum of the strings,
The melody flows,
And the crowd starts to sing.
The dance floor is full,
And the party is hot,

The people are moving,
As the music just rocks.
The beat goes on,
And the night never ends,
The party is still alive,
And the joy never bends.

The beat goes on, and the drum plays,
As the dancers twirl, in a joyful haze.
The rhythm flows, the melody sings,
As the crowd moves, on happy wings.
The beat goes on, and the night is young,
As the stars shine bright, with a song unsung.
The beat goes on, and the night is long,
As the dancers dance, and the music's strong.
The beat goes on, till the morning light,
And the memory fades, of a magical night.
The beat goes on, but the joy remains,
A memory of love and entering the soul.

ASHLEY
🥁
The Beat goes on

As the music echoes
The beats of our feet
The melody beautifully whisper
Like drummer beats
The piano clicks
The xylophone chimes
The music I love to hear
Comes within

JOSEPHINE
🥁
The beat goes on and on,
Like the waves on the shore.
It's a rhythm that never stops,
It keeps us evermore.

The beat is in our hearts,
And in our soul's desire.
It's a constant reminder,
That life's a wondrous fire.

So let the beat go on,
And keep us ever strong.
It's the pulse of our existence,
It's the song we sing along.

So let's dance to the beat,
And keep our spirits high.
For life is fleeting

The Beat Goes On
The beat goes on, and on, and on.
The rhythm carries us along.
We dance and sway, we feel the song,
And the beat goes on and on.
Our feet tap to the steady beat,
Our hearts join in the dance.
The music fills us, it's complete,
And the beat goes on and on.
The beat goes on and on, Temple ,
Let's keep on dancing, till the end.
The music never stops, it never ends,
And the beat goes on and on.
And it makes me dance in different styles with Michael.

🥁
The beat goes on,
Through the day and night,
The rhythm of life,
Shines a steady light.

We may feel lost,
We may feel alone,
But the beat goes on,
Like a guiding tone.

The beat goes on,
No matter what comes,
It stays with us,
Like the rising sun.

We may falter,
We may fall down,
But the beat keeps going,
With a steady sound.

So when we're lost,
Or we're feeling low,
Remember the beat,
And keep on going.

NUEL
🪘
And the best goes on
I dance all along
With love and happiness
A round of greatness

A great party to initiate
A love feat to enjoy
A life full of joy
Beauty voice sounds all round


Bouncing and dancing all round
A feat of laughter and enjoyment
Filling out soul with love
Unforgettable beat of life

And the beat goes on, strong and steady,
A rhythm that keeps us moving, always ready.
Through the ups and downs, we find our groove,
In this dance of life, we'll always improve.

With each new day, a fresh melody,
Guiding us forward, setting us free.
The music surrounds us, fills the air,
A constant reminder that life's meant to share.

Through joy and sorrow, the beat remains,
A comforting rhythm that never wanes.
It lifts our spirits, soothes our souls,
And brings us together, making us whole.

So let's embrace the rhythm, let it guide our way,
With every beat, let's seize the day.
And as the music plays, let's dance along,
For in this symphony of life, we all belong.

"And the Beat Goes On"

In the heart of the city, where the lights gleam so bright,
The rhythm of life keeps on through the night.
Footsteps patter, a drumbeat on stone,
In the grand dance of time, we're never alone.

The pulse of the world, in the rush of the crowd,
Every heartbeat is a story, silent yet loud.
From the whisper of leaves to the roar of the sea,
In nature's grand symphony, the beat is the key.

Through seasons that turn, from winter to spring,
The melody changes, but the core remains king.
With each sunset's glow and each dawn's soft yawn,
The world keeps spinning, and the beat goes on.

In moments of stillness, when quiet takes hold,
The beat's in our breath, more precious than gold.
It's the laugh of a child, the hug of a friend,
The love that we give, with no need to pretend.

So here's to the rhythm that we all share,
The beat of existence, the pulse of care.
Through joy and sorrow, right or wrong,
Life is a dance, and the beat goes on.

THE GLORIOUS WRITS
🥁
The beat goes on.
Words for words,
Rhythm for rhythm.
Sing me a song,
Let me dance to your rhythm With my feet on the platters of Love
Your words have it all
So we can play it all
