Let's talk about the modern society
No love for the person that you chose to be
Don't be telling me you don't live that way
No relationship was built in a day
Don't matter 'bout your race or culture
No one man is in control
Don't be governed by political torture
Let them dig their own hole, yeah, ay

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, and know yourself
Rise up, (that's what we've got to do, got to do) , rise up
Rise up, and know yourself

A little boy dreams, of a war and hate regime
Just a bad nightmare, or reality un-declared
See the job centre close, and a shortage of homes
As people try to find their way
Woah, what is going wrong
We need to find a better way, better way, ay

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, and know yourself
Rise up, (that's what we've got to do, got to do) , rise up
Rise up, and know yourself

Rise up, oo yeah, rise up
Rise up, and know yourself
Rise up, (that's what we've got to do, got to do) , rise up, oo yeah
Rise up, and know yourself
