Title: Rise Up Post by: NuseVoice on January 13, 2007, 07:27:14 PM RISE UP
Give thanks and praise to the most high Repent for your lies before you die God bless yute, he sure did try Too late now a fire bun inna de sky Finding new heroes in zeros More ignorance, there’s her smile He already knows as he walks the green mile Resistance is futile and freedom he can’t buy Rise up; there are other ways They’ve been here for all these days Rise up; oh I sure will miss your face, The beauty’ n’ warmth of your rays The floor of our lives now falling through The earth run hot, winters’ gone askew Got material possession, nobody cares All just warnings went on deaf ears All that we know is gone, Deformed perceptions of the truth, Now our youth starts to shine through But reflected by total destruction. Rise up from insane beliefs of politicians Overstand your mission, know your position Rise up Jah is not just a character! And television is not the ringmaster! Its war dem a fight, what a controversy Say dem spreading democracy and world policy Now we all know this is a fallacy With streets at home still full of poverty Money running dry from this situation So they take money from health and education Now the fire’s a blazing, Babylon crying As nations prepare comfort for the dying Rise up as I drop these words of change And deliver these ideals with endless rage. Rise up as I pass these tears of pain, Oh, Rise up cause fear is not to reign Listen to your insight and regain morality That sharp stimulation of reality The skin is broken and now there’s bleeding, Can you bring the earth back some feeling? Know where you come from And respect the ways of old Then the future can manifest Without the loss of your soul Rise up now that you have grown Rise up, strong and solid as a stone Rise up and restore the faith Rise up, it a reality inna ya face. Rise up so your story can be told, ‘cause Jah know in these days reality itself was neglected… Copyright © 2006 Troy Barrow |
