The Rise

Rise up and don't standby Get up and do something till your satisfied All you see is the problem Gotta solve em Move along and Get along with The times Education the key To the civilisation Emancipate the people set us free Cape Town the city that don't sleep Keep to my grind Let me roll up my sleeves Fight for a peace Let the peace set us free Grade after grade Get the know learn to speak We are African This my beat Don't miss a moment Witness their defeat Hear thunder roar from underneath the feet It's a jungle out here up in these streets Don't fool around with people that don't sleep Honesty a modern value that so cheap Lie to my face and the eyes don't blink Think for a nation, what do people think Run for the freedom the victim is linked Look at the picture around the black ink If life ever was a movie I wouldn't blink Don't be fooled even wickedness has a wink Now think about who idolise Now let it sink Rise up and don't standby Get up and do something till your satisfied All you see is the problem Gotta solve em Move along and Get along with The times Education the key To the civilisation Emancipate the people set us free Psychological warfare on your doorstep There's a flaw under floor under the door mat You can see what you could be if you had all that I can see what I could be if I had known that It's a fact I'm on attack yeah I'ma roll up It's a war tires the floor smell the aroma I can keep on going I'm going, cause this my moment Listen to the words that I'm saying yeah I'ma own it Slow it down so they can read my lips I don't need no friends I ain't asking for tips You shouldn't trust nobody that you have to convince Ans if he ain't your friend till you shoot get some sense Think about who you wanna be tie some ends And if you did wrong somebody make amends We all wanna live in a house with no fence We all wanna walk pick a talk not be tense The gang violence is nonsense I'm honest Kids die in the street all day like it's a contest People chasing money not their dreams don't see the progress We the people need to come together make a congress Divided we fall, but together we conquer Fist in the air we can take it no longer Yeah you heard what I said Make it louder Rise up and don't standby Get up and do something till your satisfied All you see is the problem Gotta solve em Move along and Get along with The times Education the key To the civilisation Emancipate the people set us free
