We Rise

[Intro: Konshens]

So much sacrifice, let's just do what's right

Think about the future

Let's help save our lives

We're in this together, let us all unite

Together we fight

Let's just live, not die

[Chorus: Teejay]

So, when you feel like giving up, when you feel like there is no where to go

When you feel life is over, when you feel like there is no one to hold

[Post-Chorus: Shenseea & Tarrus Riley]

Like the ashes we rise, like a phoenix we soar

And this is who we are, and we take it to the world

Now is the time, like a star we must shine

Let's take a stand...

And spread love to the world

[Verse 1: Ding Dong & Kemar Highcon]

How me fi love road so much and can't go out deh?

Nothing no bigger than God weh out deh

Together we stand, we fall if only we think 'bout we self like a we alone deh

Something weh me can't see with eye mash up mi meddy

Sittin just a kill the people dem, a mussi Freddy

No waan fi see none of mi family go cemetery

So if a unity the world a say, well then me ready

Thi-this year is like an extradite

Youths dem want a better life

My goals dem fi big like enterprise

Nuff ghetto youths a dead fi hungry

Some of dem 'fraid fi go a dem bed at night

Every night me say a prayer like El Shaddai

Ma...ma...mama hold her head and cry

Whole heap of problems we bear

Still a give thanks, nuff youth nuh have the breath of life

[Chorus: Teejay & Tarrus Riley]

So, when you feel like giving up, when you feel like there is no where to go (Believe, believe, eh eeh)

When you feel life is over, when you feel like there is no one to hold

[Verse 2: Konshens, Kash, Tarrus Riley, & Ding Dong]

Yeah

Man been through nuff things weh me know me never did fi see

And whole heap of thing me never did think me did a go live fi see

Sufferation been apart of we history

So don't bring quit to me, mi dads, don't bring that to me

Actually pressure make diamond, yeah, this a the diamond factory

Man haffi rise no matter what kind crosses happen to we

That's why we so boasty, yeah, a we that naturally

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I keep everyone into my prayer

Jah Jah bless, him never lef', let us fight the fire

Though the journey is rough, we've got to be strong

Me move on inna any storm

Yeah

So much sacrifice, got to do what's right

The future, let's save a life

Yeah

This nuh have a thing fi do with the color of we skin

Everybody vulnerable all of we sin

Let's just live not die

[Chorus: Teejay & Tarrus Riley]

So, when you feel like giving up, when you feel like there is no where to go (Believe, believe, eh eeh)

When you feel life is over, when you feel like there is no one to hold

[Post-Chorus: Shenseea & Tarrus Riley]

Like the ashes we rise, like a phoenix we soar

And this is who we are, and we take it to the world

Now is the time, like a star we must shine

Let's take a stand...

And spread love to the world
