Dream by Chmba
Opening with the Yoruba chant “Ase Ase Ìyá Ìyá,” Dream affirms ancestral power and spiritual alignment.
It’s an anthem of resilience, born from moments of silence and self-rediscovery.
The lyrics remind us that even when things fall apart, we do not give up.
A lifeline of hope, carrying both perseverance and joy onto the dancefloor.

I’m living a dream I can safely say
(Woah)
(Ase) (Ase)
There is no need to play a humble game
(No more)
(So many things happen in this world)
I’m living a dream I can safely say
(Sometimes things don’t go the way we want)
(Woah)
(So many things happen in this world)
There is no need to play a humble game
(Sometimes things don’t go the way we want)
That that don’t mean that we are giving up
That that don’t mean that we are giving up
That that don’t mean that we are giving up
(Sometimes things don’t go the way we want)
That that don’t mean that we are giving up
(Sometimes things don’t go the way we want)
