Lowkey - We Will Rise (feat. Sanasino) lyrics video free download

[Intro: Charlie Chaplin]

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

[Verse 1:]

Is it just dream?, Am I a fool for trying?

I stand defiant but my enemy's the tallest giant

Will visions be reality? they tell me never

I wanna feel the unity that Malcolm felt in Mecca

I wonder if it made sense in his last moments

People don't value the soul cause they can't hold it

Find something real beyond death and misery

And understand the present in the context of history

It's been established Sykes-Picot was a bitter marriage

Since the day Thomas Edward Lawrence tricked the Arabs

I never back stab my people like Abu Mazen

I'll overthrow the monarchs like Abdul Karim Qassem

This is a battle that many better men have died fighting

But I hope to give an insight through my writing

My pen fires at the men who defend liars

I send fire till the end of your empire

[Chorus:]

We will fight to live

We will not give up

We will not give in

We will rise

[Verse 2:]

Guess who's back, descendant of the occupied

I represent the sentiments of many men you've colonized

The President is eloquent but he's never been on my side

Melanin's irrelevant cause everything was prophecised

There was a time when they talked about the Arab Nation

Broke our good leaders replaced them with a pack of masons

Took your Keffiyeh and changed it to a fashion statement

You sat with Satan, Camp David means assassination

Peace in your imagination, that's not real

I've been where Arafat got poisoned and Sadat got killed

I'm not a martyr, just a man without a Masters or a master

Trying to unite the people like Abdul Nasser

This is a battle that many better men have died fighting

But I hope to give an insight through my writing

My pen fires at the men who defend liars

I send fire till the end of your empire

[Hook: singer]

We will fight to live

We will not give up

We will not give in

We will rise

And through the blood and tears

We will not give up

We will not give in

We will rise

[Verse 3:]

If you're my brother, you're my brother but please be loyal

Comrades for life till we're deep in soil

They came to the middle east told us we need royals

Just ask Mossadeq about BP Oil

Look at history, the pecking order you will discover

Nationalize your resources watch your children suffer

Are you still my brother?

Even if BAE Systems gives us weapons to kill each other

I strike back at the empire till it falls

Most of us invest our money in building walls

Mark the words of the lyricist that's written this

Any money that I do make will build a bridge

This is a battle that many better men have died fighting

But I hope to give an insight through my writing

My pen fires at the men who defend liars

I send fire till the end of your empire

Chorus
