Rise up

Rise up this morning,
Da first thing dat i heaaard,
Was some devastating news,
Yeahh uh
Just like my friend,
His life was taking away,
Not by natural causes,
But by other men,
We all kno time is ours in the ghetto,
But its not the ghetto so long,

So ghetto youths,
Keep ya calm and keep it cool,
Dont let no one come boast u up,
And turn u inna fool,
Keep ya calm and keep it real,
Cus anything u want in life,
Yu can achieve,
[x2]

Are'nt u tired of living in their F*cked up system,
Cus all i can see round us is poor people as da vivtims (victims)
Are'nt u tired of living in their F*cked up system,
Cus all i can see round us is poor people as da vivtims,
We are the victimize one,
Wake up this morning,
Tell me self me ah ga look a job,
But unfortunate me nah fi have di qualification,
Said dem send me back a gun[?]
And the way i just change an evil plan,
Fi ah ga take a gun and rob a man,
But thats not me,
Thats not the way i want for my free life to be,

Keep ya calm and keep it cool,
Dont let no one come boast u up,
And turn u inna fool,
Keep ya calm and keep it real,
Cus anything u want in life,

Went by my frens round di corner,
Easy and i smoke some Mari......
Easy i feel da vibes
And i watch di enemy try come mash up mi life

Dem sent police pon di coner,
And take up me bredren so far,
But because dem ah fi facing at them police van,
And carry dem and gan lock dem up,
And nah dem to de station,
Nah nah nah nah naahhh
Ghetto youths keep your calm,
Keep your calm,
Keep your calm,
Ghetto youths,

Keep ya calm and keep it cool,
Dont let no one come boast u up,
And turn u inna fool,
Keep ya calm Ghetto youths keep it real,
Cus anything u want in life,
Yu can achieve,

Rise up this morning the first thing i heard,
Was some devestating newss,
Just like my friend,
His life was taking away....
