Rize

David R Hinds

Rise, rise (oh yeah), time to get up and rise
Rise, rise (ah yeah), time to stand up and rise

So much for fallen soldiers
Don't let them die in vain
So much for freedom fighters
It's now that we feel your pain
So much for so called justice (justice)
A martyr's sacrifice
Got gunned down during the protest
Demanding our equal rights, equal rights, hey

Rise, rise, got to get up and rise
Rise, rise (ah yeah), got to stand up and rise

Built your goddamn country (country)
And reaping no rewards
The land of milk and honey (dubi dubi)
We've even fought your wars
Confined to the backs of the buses
We've even took all of your blows
How we survive the burning crosses
Only Heaven knows
Heaven knows, heaven knows

Say rise (rise), rise (rise), got to get up and rise
Say rise (rise), rise (rise), got to stand up and rise
Say rise, oh, say rise, oh
Got to get up and rise
Exercise your human rights
Come, we get out of this plight

Rise, rise, rise
Come out of your slumber, up, rise, oh yeah
Rise, rise, rise
Keep growing in numbers (no jestering)

So much for your redlining
Forever trying to keep us back
'Cause we're the Windrush generation
We won't take any more of that, hey

Rise (rise), rise (rise), got to get up and rise
Rise (rise), rise (rise), got to stand up and rise
Say rise, oh, say rise, oh
Got to stand up and rise
It's your demise if you not wise
Got to move forward and rise

Got to get up (get up, get up)
Got to stand up, yah (stand up, stand up)
Got to march on, yah (uprising)
Got to move on and rise

Your fork tongue and your treaties, yeah
With too much hypocrisy
We gonna rise, rise, rise
From incarceration (no jestering)

Sti-da-ba di-baba de yeah oh oh

Rise, rise, rise
Got to stand up and rise
Time to stand up and rise
Got to stand up and rise
Got to get up and rise
Time to stand up and rise
Got to get up and rise
Time to stand up and rise
Got to get up, got to get up
Got to get organised
