Buju Banton - Rising Up lyrics
[Buju Banton - Rising Up lyrics]
Whoa man whoa, revolution is everywhere
They're rising up
Everywhere around the world
(Rising up)
Low wage and a high priced market, uh yeah
(Ooh)
How will we feed our little boys and girls?
Have you ever seen water carry inna basket?
I say
(Ooh)
They're rising up
Everywhere around the world
(Rising up)
Low wage and a high price market, uh yeah
(Ooh)
How will we feed our little boys and girls?
(Rising up)
Have you ever seen water carried inna basket?
The cause of confrontation shall
Be economic crisis
Is not the fear of the Islam and
Is not the threat is ISIS
Hunger makes the need for satisfaction
Become so hard to resist
And they've got no consideration
I see only hardship answer
They're rising up
Everywhere around the world
(Rising up)
Low wage and a high price market, look deh
(Ooh)
Well how will we feed our
Little boys and girls?
(Rising up)
Have you ever seen water carried in a basket?
Well the cost of labour pales in comparison
In comparison to price
And if they should raise the minimum wages
We would also see taxes rise
All across the world
In one accord, in one voice
The people, the people are so dissatisfied
You see them in the Middle East
You see them in the south
In the north and the Americas
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
They're rising up
Everywhere around the world
(Rising up)
Low wage and a high priced market, uh yeah
(Ooh)
Well how will we feed our
Little boys and girls?
Have you ever seen water being
Carried in a basket?
Hey
The boats have been on their
Face for too long
With every inch of ground
Freedom slips like sand
No chance, no way out, no escape plan
No longer one race
One group, it's now everyone
Now everyone fighting for their survival, hey
They're rising up
Everywhere around the world
(Rising up, up)
They're rising up
Everywhere around the world
(Rising up)
Low wage and a high priced market, uh yeah
(Ooh)
How will we feed our little boys and girls?
Have you ever seen water carry inna basket?
I say
(Ooh)
They're rising up
Everywhere around the world
(Rising up)
Low wage and a high price market, uh yeah
(Ooh)
How will we feed our little boys and girls?
(Rising up)
Have you ever seen water carried inna basket?
The cause of confrontation shall
Be economic crisis
Is not the fear of the Islam and
Is not the threat is ISIS
Hunger makes the need for satisfaction
Become so hard to resist
And they've got no consideration
I see only hardship answer
They're rising up
Everywhere around the world
