Lyrics of Rise Up by Cécile
I nuh really meet this
But me really have to pray dis
Certain things we ah go talkin′ out deh frank yeah
Are the realists
But believe this
To dem is like life a nuh nuthin'
Burn up a puff like boatn′
A people we need for do sumthin'
What can i do to make this world a better place?
Me waan' live and just be free
But my freedom is at stake
Last night me hear dem done they elect the youth
Me know me have a part fi play
But me kinda′ confused
What can i do?
What can i say?
Sometmes i feel so guilty
If i can′t be a part of the solution
Am a part for the problem
We have to rise up!
Have to wake up!
Look our good country we mushin' up
If we want things to better
We have fi talk up!
It just as bad if you keep your mouth shut
Can′t keep no way a smile around me (Around me)
You nuh go find him dem man deh around me (Around me)
And you for blame if you keep them company (I'll have to say)
Right now nuff ah who no guilty?
Well now me make me tell yu dis′
Me just feel like to sing a love song
One big bad riddim from a dribbling tongue
Him say Cecille you where?
Fi find a plan
What will i mix?
Well why uh give the people a culture one
So me lookin' at myself and so all this power
That make me powerful with every note me utter
With this power that i bain
If one life we can′t change
Then i shouldn't even bother!
We have to rise up!
Have to wake up!
Look our good country we mushin' up
If we want things to better
We have fi talk up
It just as bad if you keep your mouth shut
Can′t keep no way a smile around me (Around me)
You nuh go find him dem man deh around me (Around me)
And you for blame if you keep them company (I′ll have to say)
Right now nuff' ah who no guilty?
So when you going out
And you coming in
You say your hands clean
Wha′ 'bout your friend dem?
Your conscience free
But is it really free?
Coz if you see am blind then you guilty
So you better pray
So we can movement
Make sure say you want call dem your friend
If you keep silent
Not try and make the change
Better know you have a share in a deh judgement!
We have to rise up!
Have to wake up!
Look our good country we mushin′ up
If we want things to better
We have fi talk up!
It just as bad if you keep your mouth shut
Can't keep no way a smile around me (Around me)
You nuh go find him dem man deh around me (Around me)
And you for blame if you keep them them company (I′ll have to say)
Right now nuff' a who no guilty?
Me just feel like to sing a love song
One ah big bad riddim from a dribbling tongue
Him say Cecille yuh where?
Fi find a plan
What will i mix?
Well why yuh give the people a culture one
So me lookin' at myself and so all this power
That make me more powerful
With every note me utter
With this power that i bain
If one life we can′t change
Then i shouldn′t even bother
We have to rise up...
Writer(s): Donovan Bennett, Cecile Charlton
