Rise Up
EEh yaah!
You Know how we go
Fi a long time system oppress we
Ooh tunasakwa tukisaka
Can't get no food nah water
Bloodshed kila siku si Pasaka tu
I think its time to simama tu
Unnu better come, Rise up! and fight injustice
Coz things nuh go better
If you just sit down and watch
Breddah come, Rise up! and fight injustice
Coz things nuh go better
If you just sit down and watch
Wakenya come, Rise up! fight injustice
Mih say vitu hazitakua poa
If you just sit down and type
Mih say breddah, Rise up! fight injustice
Mih say things nuh go better
If you just sit down and watch
People dem hungry food price high
Fuel price high, everything just hike
Election time near politician tell a lie
How dem ago make it right
But we know it's a lie
Ma-time zinachange yoh
If you want change be the change oh yeah
Poverty ni real yoh!
Have you been down in the ghetto? Yeah?
So unnu better rise, rise up
Tuvutishane rada tumalize umaskini
Unnu better rise, rise up
Tuzidi kupendana amani izidi
Unnu better rise, rise up
Tukuwe na busara tutumie akili
Unnu better rise, rise up
Unnu better come, Rise up! and fight injustice
Coz things nuh go better
If you just sit down and watch
Breddah
Eeh Rise against doughty vibes and bad energy
Stay woke my yut get up and chase your dreams
Stop pointing fingers poverty here is the enemy
And greedy leaders draining out the Kenyan energy
We need to keep it real!
We need to live in peace
The system trick we for so long from we were likkle kids
Manipulation with their fishy agendas
And now me hear dem talk of regulate the population
Chuo umeenda, paper ukonazo but ukisaka wera
Who do you Know?
The kids are the future, that's what they say
But sai hauna future ju umegrow
Eeh. Wazae wameng'ora na maganji
Vijana mtaani wamejaza mavipaji
Campaign wanatukatisha maji
But tukirudi mtaani tumekatiwa maji
Unnu better come, Rise up! and fight injustice
Coz things nuh go better
If you just sit down and watch
Breddah come, Rise up! and fight injustice
Coz things nuh go better
If you just sit down and watch
Wakenya come, Rise up! fight injustice
Mih say vitu hazitakua poa
If you just sit down and type
Mih say breddah, Rise up! fight injustice
Mih say things nuh go better
