Rising Up Lyrics

Rising Up - Buju Banton

...

Whoa, man, whoa, revolution is everywhere

They're rising up, everywhere around the world (rising up)

Low wage and a high priced market, ooh-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, ooh-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 of ISIS

Hunger makes the need for satisfaction become so hard to resist

And they've got no consideration, I see only hardship answer, and so

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 labor 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? Ayy

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

Oh, everyone fighting for their survival, ayy

They're rising up, everywhere around the world (rising up, up)
