Lyrics Uprising - Gentleman, Ky-Mani Marley

Uprising

Dem wan divide and rule
It’s a generation you can’t fool
Uprising
We army arising
Say dem want to take it over, (a wah do dem)
So we got to run for cover
Freedom fighters
We keep surviving
Let dem know we no pushover
It’s not over till it’s over
Tell me what this world is coming to
I really got to know where we are running to, (yeah)
Say we try to find a place
But we running out of space
And what we are supposed to do, (oh-oh)
Somebody tell me please what we running from
Is it the fighting or illusions about the ends of men, (yeah)
Time to find a common ground
Why can’t we get along
Uprising
We army arising
Say dem want to take it over, (but they will never)
Say we got to run for cover
Freedom fighters
We keep surviving
Let them know we no pushover, (never)
It’s not over till it’s over
To see unification is my greatest desire
Bad minds and envy get cast in the fire
The illusion and the fear
Get burned with the thief and the liar
Let’s get together, the words of the Messiah
Nuh single out, make we do this in a choir
No man is an island
No man stands alone
Show love and let your live inspire
Ky-mani…
Uprising
We army arising
Say dem want to take it over
Say we got to run for cover
Freedom fighters
We keep surviving
Let them know we no pushover
It’s not over till it’s over
We’ve got to find a way
We live to see the day
Where there is no more oppression and no more depression, (no, eh)
So listen what I say
From your works you shall get paid, (oh gosh)
With no more aggression, make love your possession
Uprising
We army arising
Say dem want to take it over
Say we got to run for cover
Freedom fighters
We keep surviving
Let them know we no pushover
It’s not over till it’s over, (never)
Uprising
We army arising
Say dem want to take it over
So we got to run for cover
Freedom fighters
We keep surviving
Let them know we no pushover
It’s not over till it’s over
(Unification's the key)
