Uprising - Gentleman, Ky-Mani Marley

Dem wan divide and rule

It’s a generation you can’t fool

Uprising

We army arising

Say dem want to take it over, (a wah do dem)

So we got to run for cover

Freedom fighters

We keep surviving

Let dem know we no pushover

It’s not over till it’s over

Tell me what this world is coming to

I really got to know where we are running to, (yeah)

Say we try to find a place

But we running out of space

And what we are supposed to do, (oh-oh)

Somebody tell me please what we running from

Is it the fighting or illusions about the ends of men, (yeah)

Time to find a common ground

Why can’t we get along

Uprising

We army arising

Say dem want to take it over, (but they will never)

Say we got to run for cover

Freedom fighters

We keep surviving

Let them know we no pushover, (never)

It’s not over till it’s over

To see unification is my greatest desire

Bad minds and envy get cast in the fire

The illusion and the fear

Get burned with the thief and the liar

Let’s get together, the words of the Messiah

Nuh single out, make we do this in a choir

No man is an island

No man stands alone

Show love and let your live inspire

Ky-mani…

Let them know we no pushover

It’s not over till it’s over

We’ve got to find a way

We live to see the day

Where there is no more oppression and no more depression, (no, eh)

So listen what I say

From your works you shall get paid, (oh gosh)

With no more aggression, make love your possession
