Song Lyrics

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up

Now is the time, to step up and take what is rightfully mine
Now is the time, to step out of the dark and let my light shine
There ain't no time, to procrastinate
There ain't no time, to sit down here and wait
After dem got we run aback
An' wash dem dirty pot
When we chat, dem tell we fi sit down an' what
Dem no wan fi see mi rise, dem wan fi see mi drop
When we old we head up dey wan' push it down back mad
But, I'm gonna rise and remove myself from the back of the line
Though they criticize
And fight for your name time after time
Father don't, visualize
The element of surprise, I've got her in disguise
Dem tell a bag of lies
It's not about the tings that you do or the places you go
There's a lot more tings I think you should know
Only half ya love to show, so what about di old?
Now da people dem said dem give me full control
And, not wasting time

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up

Now is the time, to bring back di ting
Now is the time, fi bust more youts where ya chant and sing
Now is the time, to stop the hustlin'
We affi bring back the ting
Bring back the ting
One man, two and redeem

Let me tell you, mi no business if a guy wann vex
Just cann test, woulda never jump in my chest
Let mi tell you dat you're blessed, he is the Highest
Nevertheless, I saw the system set
Now is the time, to step up and take what is rightfully mine
Now is the time, to step out of the dark and let my light shine
There ain't no time, for us to procrastinate
There ain't no time, to sit down here and wait
So now is the time, now is the time
Now is the time, now is the time

Mi tell dem only half of di story has ever been told
So behold, softlets like you coj and the cold
Hey fool, you need to become a Rastafar man schooler
I sit down pon a stool and fool pass

Now is the time, to bring back di ting
Now is the time, fi bust more youts where ya chant and sing
Now is the time, to stop the hustlin'
We affi bring back the ting
Bring back the ting
One man, two and redeem
