Uprising

You hear the riddim, Feel the drum
You know that time has come
You look around - You see a light
Surrounded by darkness of night

You ketch a vibe, You feeling nice
All is well like sugar and spice
Buh doh mistake, This coming quake
Your body and soul this ting going to shake

Knock yuh out, Throw you down
Rest a life all you wearing is a frown
The time has come, is up to you
Do you know what you have to do?

You look around, Is you alone
This shit cyah happen on its own
Its time to stand, To make a stand
Is up to you to hold on with you hand

Cuz if you don’t do, If you cant feel
Like all others you will turn on your heel
And no one left, Who know the truth
Is only gangster surrounded by fools

What u going to do, Will you take the lead?
This – our moment of need
Forget the lies, Hate and spies
Its time to rise, Rise, why don’t you rise

Rise up you fallen fighter
Rise and take your stance again
Cuz he who fight and stays his ground
He will prevail, he will wear the crown

And when he is dead, when he is no more
When his soul has left this desolate shore
All he has left for he, she and me
Is a fading, haunting, memory

Then we shall know what we lost
We shall weep and scream till hoarse
And all that shall linger, the example of thine
Lingering beauty – aging like wine

The footprints you walk will be set in stone
Showing mankind the only way home
They walk one step in your shoe
And know to themselves your heart was true

One will tell five,
and five will tell twenty
you departed long ago,
but left for all – a legacy

Forget the lies,
Hate and spies
Its time to rise,
Will you not rise?
