We Will Rise Lyrics

We Will Rise by Lowkey

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

• Is it just dream? Am I a fool for trying?
• I stand defiant but my enemy's the tallest giant
• Will my 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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
• Nationalise 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

• 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
