when shall we rise - rider shafique lyrics

[intro]
yeah
when shall we rise?
ha
when shall we rise?

[verse 1]
how many more public executions must we witness
before we realise we are being desensitised to the injustice?
stand aside while your brothers and sisters are being robbed of their lives
paralysed with fear, hiding behind your mobile devices
public servants who serve only the needs of the ruling classes
protecting their interests, defending material property
and vanity
while making examples of the outspoken
massacring the innocent
who are the real terrorists if they rule with fear?

[chorus]
when shall we rise? (when shall we rise?)
when shall we rise?
when shall we rise? (when shall we rise?)
when shall we rise?

[verse 2]
will we continue to remain on our knees
submissively waiting for a change of heart from our oppressors?
seeking acceptance, acceptance into a system that is seriously flawed?
seeking integration into a burning house, patiently waiting for redemption
dependent on a white god
turning the other cheek until he executes judgement on his creators
bowing to a white christ
whose image you fear, so in turn, you slave for your master
fighting over the crumbs that fall from his table
forgetting jah will help those who first help themselves
[chorus]
when shall we rise?
when shall we rise? (when shall we rise?)
when shall we rise?
when shall we rise? (when shall we rise?)

[outro]
yeah
babylon must fall
rider
our time fi rise up
rising
yeah
