Rise Up

Whoa
I see the ghetto youth
Dem rise up
Dem wise up
And dem no give up
Hey, you better wake up

I see the ghetto youth dem rise up
I see the ghetto youth and now dem rise up
I see the ghetto youth dem wise up
I see the ghetto youth and now dem wise up
Only if a ghetto youth nah give up
A Rastafari ghetto youth a dem live up
A word, sound and power
Only if a ghetto youth a see dem wake up

Rise, ghetto youth you haffi rise from your slumber
Rise, haffi rise, haffi climb another ladder
Yes, ghetto youth you haffi rise up the banner
Pablin a fi know that Selassie's our father
Yes, he's my tider, Jah Jah my provider
Yes, he's my driver, no time for MacGyver
Tell wicked man because he caught inna me corner

Why some boy dem move like dem infamer
Dem call me say officer
Wish all the ghetto youth you facing disaster
But you all the ghetto youth weh working fi di prosper
Born imposter
Tell prime minister stop to fight against di Rasta

I see the ghetto youth dem rise up
I see the ghetto youth and now dem rise up
I see the ghetto youth dem wise up
I see the ghetto youth and now dem wise up
Only if a ghetto youth nah give up
A Rastafari ghetto youth a dem live up
A word, sound and power
Only if a ghetto youth a see dem wake up

Ghetto youth deh pon the street
We a still food fi eat
We a meet and greet
Haffi make ends meet
But you stand up on your feet
No stand and no retreat
The heckling is hard
But the victory so sweet
Like a reggae reggae beat

We gotta be strong
All the ghetto youth weh been suffer too long
Trials and tribulation
Inna Armageddon we deh pon Jah mission

We sing a same song
But we going to Zion
Heading the conquering lion
He's our redemption
Well, born dem ways of Satan

And one day we shall overcome

I see the ghetto youth dem rise up
I see the ghetto youth and now dem rise up
I see the ghetto youth dem wise up
I see the ghetto youth and now dem wise up
Only if a ghetto youth nah give up
A Rastafari ghetto youth a dem live up
A word, sound and power
Only if a ghetto youth a see dem wake up

Rise, ghetto youth you haffi rise from your slumber
Rise, haffi rise, haffi climb another ladder
Yes, ghetto youth you haffi rise up the banner
Pablin a fi know that Selassie's our father
Yes, he's my tider, Jah Jah my provider
Yes, he's my driver, no time for MacGyver
Tell wicked man because he caught inna me corner

Why some boy dem move like dem infamer
Dem call me say officer
Wish all the ghetto youth you facing disaster
But you all the ghetto youth weh working fi di prosper
