Rise Up

Read between the lines of the pages in life

Seek and you will find the truth

Yeah yeah

Time to realise, open your eyes

There's so much more we can do

We need to rise up, rise

Make your mind up

Pull our people from the gutter

We need to rise up

Make your mind up, before times up, yes you must choose

Rise up

Make your mind up

Make your mind up, before times up, yеs you must choose

These arе pressing times

Streets filled with depressing vibes

Been here before it ain't the first or the second time, never mind

Breathe deep and we energise

Read between the lines, I don't believe what is televised

New suits crooked ties, evil crooked minds

Fear got my belly full of butterflies, run and hide

Racism in the nation

Dads black and my mothers white

I see the world like I'm a colourblind

England raised me, since I was a baby

Hooligans and pub fights, swingers on a daily

Poverty in areas, where nobody escapes

Nobody saved me

Nothing ever sweet. Nor was it savoury

Mixed race, mixed heritage and mixed opinion

Dysfunctional upbringing turned into brilliance

Living in this world all you really have is hope and resilience

Read between the lines of the pages in life

Seek and you will find the truth

Yeah yeah

Time to realise, open your eyes

There's so much more we can do

We need to rise up, rise

Make your mind up

Pull our people from the gutter

We need to rise up

Make your mind up, before times up, yes you must choose

Rise up

Make your mind up

Make your mind up, before times up, yes you must choose

It's kind of hard to rise from the high rise flats

When the only was is down when you rhyme grime rap

Trying to redefine black, trying to bridge the mind gap

My train of thought brought everyone to the ball

What's the main difference between he rich and the poor

You either stay wishing or risk the reward

So I sold tickets, then they kicked in my door now the sell tickets

Get a kick out off tour and of course rolling with my bros

That my mother mined from the mud

Had to take the gena out the genocide, current form

We became the plugs when the lecky died, metaphor

Now you see the rose from terrace rise from the thorns

When the devil calls grab him by the horns

It's a war tryna find support. There's no lessons taught

For the funds I'm pushing the stuff just to get to school

Told my mum two packs on her son, Afeni Shakur

It's kinda deep when you're getting overlooked like

We didn't paint the road all of this time

All the people that went to far ah fi alright

We're gon' rise and fall

We need to rise up, rise

Make your mind up

Pull our people from the gutter

We need to rise up

Make your mind up, before times up, yes you must choose

Rise up

Make your mind up

Make your mind up, before times up, yes you must choose
