Rise, rise, time to get up and rise
Rise, rise, time to stand up and rise
So much for fallen soldiers
Don't let them die in vain
So much for freedom fighters
It's now that we feel your pain
So much for so called justice
A martyr's sacrifice
Got gunned down during the protest
Demanding our equal rights, equal rights, hey
Rise, rise, got to get up and rise
Rise, rise, got to stand up and rise
Built your goddamn country
And reaping no rewards
The land of milk and honey
We've even fought your wars
Confined to backs of the buses
We've even took all of your blows
How we survive those burning crosses
Only Jah in heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows
Rise, rise, got to get up and rise me say
Rise, rise, got to stand up and rise
Got to get up and rise
Exercise your human rights
Come, we get out of this plight
Rise, rise, rise
Come out of your slumber, oh yeah
Rise, rise, rise
Keep growing in numbers (No jestering)
So much for your redlining
Forever trying to keep us back
'Cause we're the Windrush generation
Who won't take any more of that, hey
Rise, rise, got to get up and rise
Rise, rise, got to stand up and rise
Got to stand up and rise
It's your demise if you not wise
Got to move forward and rise
Got to get up (Get up, get up)
Got to stand up, yah (Stand up, stand up)
Got to march on, yah (Uprising)
Got to move on and rise
Your fork tongue and your treaties, yeah
With too much hypocrisy we gonna
Rise, rise, rise
From incarceration (No jestering)
Got to stand up and rise
Time to stand up and rise
Got to stand up and rise
Got to get up and rise
Time to stand up and rise
Got to get up and rise
Time to stand up and rise
Go, get up, go, get up
Got to get organised

Steel Pulse è una delle più grandi band di reggae britanniche, in termini di successo creativo e commerciale. Originari di Handsworth, Birmingham, gli Steel Pulse hanno iniziato a suonare negli anni '70, contaminando le radici autentiche del reggae con influenze jazz e latine. Questo approccio originale ha conquistato un pubblico internazionale, portandoli a pubblicare il loro album di debutto, "Handsworth Revolution", nel 1978. Considerato da molti critici come uno dei punti di riferimento del reggae inglese, l'album ha segnato l'inizio di una carriera ricca di successi. Prima della fine degli anni '80, gli Steel Pulse hanno vinto un Grammy Award, consolidando il loro ruolo di esponenti di spicco del crossover reggae. Negli anni successivi, la band è tornata a esplorare le sonorità roots, integrando elementi dancehall e hip-hop. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Ku Klux Klan", "Sound System", "Steppin' Out" e "Jah Jah City".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
