rise up

Clinton Fearon

Rise Up

rise up
rise above the system rise children rise
rise up
rise above its rhythm rise children rise
rise up
rise from mental slavery rise children rise
rise up
rise and free your minds

warmongers unjustly fed us their spoil
with no questions ask
they rape and they kill and they take
they don't give a damn
oh there eyes of mine
they have seen a lot
these ears of mine have heard
our ancestors cry oh

I can't express the pains I feel so
pray with I and let us heal
together now

rise up
rise from the dungeon rise children rise
rise up
rise and face your demon rise children rise
rise up
rise from your heartaches rise children rise
rise up
rise from the struggle rise troublemakers
