Mavado Rise Up (Ft. Akon & Rick Ross)
[Hook: Akon]
Can you hear them now?
In the streets they riot, they riot
But we won't stand down
We rise up, we rise up
Ain't no hiding now
When the world's on fire, on fire
We gon' stand our ground
We rise up, we rise up
Hear them coming in the dark night
But we won't go from where we are, no
Can you hear them now?
In the streets they riot, they riot
But we won't stand down
We rise up, we rise up
[Verse 1: Mavado]
Hope and pray for a better day, and a better day will come
Oh so many people dying in the rising of the sun
Oh, and when they think it's over, it's only just begun
Yes, and we should keep on fighting
They could never shoot us down
I'm so early rising up now, and we only fight to win
Got an evil man who host us
God forgive me for my sins
In time, we shall seek, we shall find
There's a mountain to climb
We shall leave no one behind
[Hook: Akon]
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
I know they wanna see me fall
I know they wanna see me fail
That's why I go so hard
Only the real will prevail
I will look into the sky
Won't let no man give me Hell
As I reach for my sword
Drop the gold in a pail
I love riding with the roof gone
Got the money with my jewels on
Might f..ck her with my shoes on
Dope boy, need two phones
[Hook: Akon]
[Verse 3: Mavado]
This one's for the people
Sing this for all the have-nots
Life is like a journey
Life is all we've got
Oh, but only if we rise up and fight together
We could never stop
If we back down for a minute
It will never stop
And they try so hard to fight us
And we try so hard to win
So fight the desert like a cactus
Fighting for the...
[Hook: Akon]
[Outro: Akon]
We rise up, we rise up
We rise up, we rise up
We rise up, we rise up
We rise up, we rise up
