Rise.
I & I is the first. Black is the colour.
We know. That we are the first.
Always doing our best.
We are the creator.
They are the separators.
We are the true generation.
Keep on multiply.
Black people no stop from rise!
We are the creator.
They are the separators.
I and I the true generation.
Black people no stop from rise!
They take us from distant seas oh and distant shores.
We gotta lotta love even though we are poor.
Those who try to harm us want to make things rough
There is no other way than to show them that we tough
Corruption inna the system, yet dem still a cover up
Dem chat a bag of lies so dem a go dung inna di rug
Pollution inna di air so it a mess dem up.
Dem system no real so Rastaman a bun dem up.
Mi deh yah fi si di greedy man a get him throat cut.
Colonialism dem a use to rule, but wi no trust.
Rome! Much less fi drink from dem cup.
Selassie man praise, but in god they trust!
We are the creator.
They are the separators.
I and I the real Black Mau Mau warriour
Keep on multiply
Black people keep on rising
We are the creator.
They are the separators.
I and I the real generation.
Black people no stop from rise!
No time to give up
Mi say no skin out, no laugh
Cuz a nuff a dem a come wid all pagan talk
Watch it!
Mi find some nuff nuh clean from di heart
Nuff a work wid slave master from the start
Pope paul have dem brains, and di devil got dem heart
Dem study all type a witchcraft and such thought
The journey is so long, yes it is a tough task
How you gonna cope when the Gideon start?
I tell you this:
Every Black man haffi march!
Is a unification!
Chant Congo CHANT!
Roots and culture, it has always been so.
Let your love grow so!
We are the creator.
They are the separators.
I and I the real generation
Black people rise!
Yes. I want you to rise!
We are the creator.
They are the separators.
I and I the true generation.
No stop multiply
Black people no stop from rise!
A system a set around us
Many victim wi see around us
Innocent.
Have been slain, have been framed
For what they never have done
Many go beyond the bars!
See they wanna hitch up with all the movie stars
Dem set up like a fish pon di hook
Bait dem up and then dem end up like a crook
Longtime Rastaman a tell dem LOOK!
Dem a jam and a jooks
Neva stop until dem get rooks
Dem neva set aside, to meditate and read di HOLY BOOK!
We are the creator.
They are the separators.
I and I the real generation
No stop multiplay
Black people no stop from rise!
