Lowkey, Sanasino - We Will Rise lyrics

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
And the power they took from
The people will return to the people
And so long as men die
Liberty will never perish

Is it just a dream? Am I a fool for trying?
I stand defiant but my
Enemy's the tallest giant
Will my visions be reality?
They tell me never
I wanna feel the unity that
Malcolm felt in Mecca
I wonder if it made sense in his last moments
People don't value the soul cause
They can't hold it
Find something real beyond death and misery
And understand the present in
The context of history
It's been established Sykes-Picot was
A bitter marriage
Since the day Thomas Edward
Lawrence tricked the Arabs
Please be loyal till we're deep in soil
You can ask Mosaddegh about BP Oil
This is a battle that many
Better men have died fighting
But I hope to give an
Insight through my writing
My pen fires at the men who defend liars
I send fire till the end of your empire
We will fight to live we will not give up
We will not give in we will rise

And through the blood and tears
We will not give up we will not give in
We will rise

Guess who's back, descendant of the occupied
I represent the sentiments of
Many men you've colonised
The President is eloquent but he's
Never been on my side
Melanin's irrelevant 'cause everything
Was prophecised there was a time when they
Talked about the Arab Nation
Broke our good leaders
The royal map was a fabrication
Took your Keffiyeh and changed it
To a fashion statement you sat with Satan
Camp David means assassination
Peace in your imagination, that's not real
I've been where Arafat got poisoned
And Sadat got killed i'm not a martyr
Just a man without a Masters
Or a master runaway slave
It's freedom I am after
This is a battle that many
Better men have died fighting
But I hope to give an
Insight through my writing
My pen fires at the men who defend liars
I send fire till the end of your empire

Like Zajel, the peaceful dove of Palestine
I will fly, I will rise
Far beyond the seventh sky
I will break free, and soar through the lies
Seeking truth
Seeking the justice that is mine
The justice that is mine
I will stand, I will climb
I will spread my wings elevate and rise
I will rise, I will rise we will rise
