MAVADO - Rise Up lyrics

rate me

feat. Akon & Rick Ross

Can you hear them now?

In the streets they riot

But we won’t stand down

We rise up, we rise up

Ain’t no hiding now

When the world’s on fire

We gonna stand our ground

We rise up, we rise up

Hear them coming in the dark night

But we won’t go from where we are, no

Can you hear them now?

In the streets they riot

But we won’t stand down

We rise up, we rise up

Hope and pray for a better day, and a better day will come

Oh, so many people dying in the rising of the sun

Oh, and when they think it’s over, this murder just begun

Yes, and we should keep on fighting

They could never shoot us down

I’m so early rising up now, and we only fight to win

Heard that evil will cost us

God forgive me for my sins

In time we shall seek, we shall find

There’s a mountain to climb

We shall leave no one behind

Can you hear them now?

In the streets they riot

But we won’t stand down

We rise up, we rise up

Ain’t no hiding now

When the world’s on fire

We gonna stand our ground

We rise up, we rise up

Hear them coming in the dark night

But we won’t go from where we are, no

Can you hear them now?

In the streets they riot, they riot

But we won’t stand down

We rise up, we rise up

I know they wanna see me fall

I know they wanna see me fail

That’s why I go so hard

Only the real will prevail

I will look into the sky

Won’t let no man give me hell

As I reach for my sword

Drop the gold in a pail

I love riding with the roof gone

Got the money with my jewels on

Might fuck her with my shoes on

Dope boy, need two phones

Can you hear them now?

In the streets they riot

But we won’t stand down

We rise up, we rise up

Ain’t no hiding now

When the world’s on fire

We gonna stand our ground

We rise up, we rise up

Hear them calling in the dark night

But we won’t go from where we are, no

Can you hear them now?

In the streets they riot

But we won’t stand down

We rise up, we rise up

This one’s for the people

Sing this for all the have-nots

Life is like a journey

Life is all we’ve got

Oh, but only if we rise up and fight together

We could never stop

If we back down for a minute

It will never stop

And they try so hard to fight us

And we try so hard to win

So fight the desert like a cactus

Fighting for the game

Can you hear them now?

In the streets they riot

But we won’t stand down

We rise up, we rise up

Ain’t no hiding now

When the world’s on fire

We gonna stand our ground

We rise up, we rise up

Hear them coming in the dark night

But we won’t go from where we are, no

Can you hear them now?

In the streets they riot

But we won’t stand down

We rise up, we rise up

We rise up, we rise up

We rise up, we rise up

We rise up, we rise up

We rise up, we rise up
