Rise (The Machine) Ft. Spikey Tee

We know the system does exist
So we haffi find a way fi go round it
Flex every muscle, yeah
Cah we haffi try a tuff component
Understand that self-belief
Is the most crucial component
Give a man the tools he needs
To overcome a difficult opponent
So when it fall to the dirt and crumbles
There'll be words spoken in condolence
While the people shall stand in victory
Reminiscing 'bout those stolen moments

So throw down your arms and come
Raise every voice into the sky
Let's murder them with love
And not some futile battle cry

Do no rise the machine
And blame it on the streets 'cause they're mean
Do no rise the machine

If you believe in the words of our prophets
You done know 'bout bigger judgement
So the life dem a take we fi fuckery, star, that nuh make no sense
Ghetto youth a make each other fallen soldiers
When they could be standing as brothers
No one can hear what you really mean
As the nails hit the board box cover
So if you find it hard to trust in your heart
Just think of what you're making
If there's a choice to live or rest in peace
I know which one I'm taking

So throw down your arms and come
Raise those voices to the sky
Let's murder them with love
And not some futile battle cry

Do no rise the machine
And blame it on the streets 'cause they're mean
Do no rise the machine
Part it up and go scrape on clean
No rise the machine
Blame it on the streets 'cause they're mean
Do no rise the machine

One conscious message spoken by millions
Babylon can't silence or drown dem
Kingdoms must rise and dynasties fall
As night must follow the morning
Flex every muscle, yeah
Because a new era's dawning
Put down the strap and go find new tools
Do you not hear the revolution calling?
So when they fall to the dust and crumble
You can say you played a part
While the people should stand in victory
With their hands upon their hearts

So throw down your arms and come
Keep those voices to the sky
Let's murder them with love
And rest that futile battle cry

So do no rise the machine
And blame it on the streets 'cause they're mean
Do no rise the machine
Part it up and go scrape on clean
No rise the machine
And blame it on the streets 'cause they're mean
Do no rise the machine

And blame it on the streets 'cause they're mean
