Listen Up Rise Up

Listen Up Rise Up

Yo , listen up.............
Now we have a bunch of fat-cats
Wanting to kill all the poor blacks
Possessing weapons of mass destruction
Lecturing the world with their pontifical instructions
********
Poverty rampant everywhere
No one around seems to care
********
Give the people a voice
Give the people a choice
********
War criminals getting a Noble prize
Poor people trying to get nutrition on left over curly fries
********
We don't want your racist pity
Let's get down to the nitty gritty
********
WE WANT JOBS!
********
We wanna feed our families
Have a little bit of security
********
Breathe a little clean air
Does anyone reading this even care?
********
They talk about the horrors of terrorism
How about the horrors brought about by capitalism?
********
Unfair wealth distribution
Meaningless pieces of paper called a constitution
********
Entire nations being ethnically cleansed
Kabala reading divas seeing the world through a rose coloured lens
********
We're tired of the hypocrisy
We want real grassroots democracy
********
Go ahead and plant you injustice seeds
Go ahead and commit your dirty deeds
********
We'd rather die on our feet than live on our knees
We want a good life and not collectively bleed
********
You might not like the colour of our face
You might not like the content of our faith
********
Well tough
We've had enough
********
Go ahead and fabricate history
Go ahead and spread your misery
********
If you squeeze a cat you're gonna get scratched
If you oppress us we're gonna fight back
********
We're not the ones with guns in our hands
We're not the ones who drew artificial lines in the sand
********
A nation has nothing to do with geography
A nation is all about identity
********
We know who we are, but do you know what you have become?
Treating the rest of the world like a piece of scum
********
Just remember that you reap what you sow
And we will rise up and won't take it anymor
