letra de rise - imiuswi aborigine

mobilization of my feet upon the concrete
gotta stay ready for the daily challenges that i meet
life is hard for me, strong, and yet harder still for some
native peoples gotta reclaim our place in the sun
white man with his disease, war and gun
wiped out the peoples will to fight for where we from
cali take heed to the move of mexican
african beat the talking drum
hear the griot song
eastern stars, recognize, many from the one
though their work undo us,
our work never be done
enough of crumbs
and accepting less
for our future, destiny,
only we know best
the peoples power allied combined becomes blessed
build up the strength in this rugged contest
they tell us no,
we say yes
my heart pumps liquid gold
in my ancient treasure chest

black people rise up
like the eastern sun
together we are one
won’t be overrun
by colonizers, who use and despise us
learn from our past and burn hotter fires

we were once bought and sold
but now they can’t buy us
babylon will test and always wanna try us
build up our strength, upward higher
fight off fatigue
we’ll not get tired

never run from the outcome
in the land of destruction
above us all
on my side is the sun
and i bask in it
while the system steadily takes
and leaves me spent
perpetration,
great nation, faking
led by greedy kids
common citizen name in caps
securing bush’s deficit
and elections are rigged
lie upon contradiction
people here live with
total -ssets
evaporated liquid
culturally stagnant and truly a trip
off this
i’m working to get
reversing the death, learning to live
by terms i set
mash up and wreck
with intent and effect
soldieress, where yall at?
where we at, is where we be
represent imiuswi
scr-ppin to make it happen
fightin to get free
bordered by the desert
buffered by the sea
every paved road got it’s toll
not everybody got a soul
and its cold chilling to the bone in california weather
to see, in words deeds and letters
we could be doing so much better
so call it on out
and work up on it
our nation is made up of individual components
we must come together,
and make it how we want it

black people rise up
like the eastern sun
together we are one
won’t be overrun
by colonizers, who use and despise us
learn from our past and burn hotter fires

we were once bought and sold
but now they can’t buy us
babylon will test and always wanna try us
build up our strength, upward higher
fight off fatigue
we’ll not get tired

stakes are high
risks and threats we defy
our lives of most importance
fathered by the system
subject to abortion
people gather listen
their ears burn, i’m torchin
took our land by force
sin!
whooped us on the christian
off p-ssed, innocent, presumed convict
false citizenship
repeal the 13th amendment
embrace the status foreign
glorified war mongering
they just pretend to let us in
human commodities, victims
break down and check the whole system
economics, education, healthcare, prisons
manufacture, agriculture, our whole livin
infiltration, mandates on making
gotta take what we can buy,
consumers bred, hands out waiting
prevented and prohibited
restricted by sanctions
prolifiration of hatred
in dire times when souls most need savin
held back from our needs
fed fat frivolous cravings
gotta think before we act
shrink the belly
grow the mind
of our nation
patience thin
know we gonna win and never stop
note in a kite from neighborhood cell block
spread some out and watch it pop
lay down and die we not
aint nothin going like that good we got

black people rise up
like the eastern sun
together we are one
won’t be overrun
by colonizers, who use and despise us
learn from our past and burn hotter fires

we were once bought and sold
but now they can’t buy us
babylon will test and always wanna try us
build up our strength, upward higher
fight off fatigue
we’ll not get tired
