Rise Up Songtext
von Martin Jondo

I saw we rise up and we′ll never give it up
Jah never loose Jah power and we never loose Jah love
My people rise up out of the evil dust (rise, rise, rise, rise, rise up)

I saw we rise up and we'll never give it up
Jah never loose Jah power and we never loose Jah love
My people rise up out of the evil dust (rise, rise, rise, rise, rise up)

Born in Babylon but me know me can′t stay
So me taking Jah train while dem are fading away
Falling asleep while dem think dem are awake
You got to shake 'em before it's to late, yo

Evil greedy thoughts ruling over mankind
Still dem asking god, oh, why
Answer man a born with own hands
Own hearts own sense, yo

With your own to hands you got to work
With your own to hands you got to fulfil your word
With your own to hands you make peace of war
Peace of war


With your own to hands you′ll make it work I′
With your own to hands you can change dis ya world
With your own to hands you rule over your life
Rule your life

I saw we rise up and we'll never give it up
Jah never loose Jah power and we never loose Jah love
My people rise up out of the evil dust (rise, rise, rise, rise, rise up)

I saw we rise up and we′ll never give it up
Jah never loose Jah power and we never loose Jah love
My people rise up out of the evil dust (rise, rise, rise, rise, rise up)

Too many times me saw lie ina dem face
Burning another hut to glorify dem race, yo
Selling telling what dem never eaten up before
But Jah Jah rain fall for sure

How many rhymes of Jah Jah people dem ignore
Killing another culture to get more and more
But no matter what dem say and na no matter what dem do
Natty dread push on through so


Come a come a dance my sister
You come a come a dance my brother
Come a come a dance my sister
Dance with me, dance my brother
Come a come a dance my sister
You come a come a dance my brother
We don't need to suffer no longer

I saw we rise up and we′ll never give it up
Jah never loose Jah power and we never loose Jah love
My people rise up out of the evil dust (rise, rise, rise, rise, rise up)

I saw we rise up and we'll never give it up
Jah never loose Jah power and we never loose Jah love
My people rise up out of the evil dust (rise, rise, rise, rise, rise up)

Rise up, rise up, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise up
Rise up, rise up, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise up
