RISE UP [Produced by DviousMindZ]

[Verse 1]
The hills have eyes, the walls have ears/
They’ve heard the screams and seen the tears we’ve spilled here through all the years/
All of the peers fallen from the police weapons, roam each section, hold heat, no peace bredren/
Roll deep stepping, repping in the murder lands of Kurdistan/ my vision is blurred, obscured by the serpent’s plan/
A nervous hand loads a clip in the rifle of Israeli weaponry to just continue the cycle/
With a daily recipe of disaster, mixed with a pinch of fear and love, the destiny after is not promised/
So called scholars talk knowledge, its hot air, they leave blocks scared, the top profit is gained from fear mongering/
Aim to steer all of them away, but the chains they’ve placed appear harder than Wolverine’s skeleton/
Full regime telling ‘em bullets are cream in this crooked dream that they’re selling ‘em/

[Chorus]
One step, one flesh, one breath/ the unrest, some slept, some wept/
The sun set, still waiting for dawn to break, so we’re staring at the stars until God awakes/
Blood spilled from the arteries of women and men/ I’ve used it for the ink in my pen, now they’ve risen again/
So rise up, everybody rise up, rise up/

[Verse 2]
I keep my ear to the ground, hear a thousand feet rumbling/ running around, thundering/ government crown tumbling/
Loving just how once again we tussle for change/ came because our struggles and pain are one and the same/
With the blood in our veins they drained on false promises/ taking a toll, playing roles of Gods and Goddesses/
Though they tried to divide us for their dominance, still we stand hand in hand, the autonomous/
A populous of Africans, Palestinians, back again, twisted in this vacuous system that they trap us in/
All my Sikhs and my Tamils in the labyrinth/ shatter through the mask so the revolution can begin/
The path to win is elusive and hard with bruising and scars and sutures due to Lucifer’s charge/
But removing us is futile because the movement is large/
Secure the power for the people so the future is ours/

[Chorus]
