Bad Brains - RISE (1993) by Bad Brains (보컬) on maniadb.com

Did you ever question any of the things
They thought while you were at school?
And did you ever question, "Oh my teacher
Why do you take me for a fool?"

Rise up, you got to rise up, wake up and rise
When you're all alone
You'll search for love but they'll have none

This is the seed that they have sown
Don't be afraid, a better place has yet to come
And when they won't teach or reach or feed
And all they do is leave you deceive you

Be true to yourself and save your mind, lesson for the young
So now let's fly away into the light of a brand new sun

The time has come, rise up, you gotta rise up, wake up and rise
We'll meditate, communicate, escalate, don't be late
We just can't wait to liberate this human race

Go, rise up, you gotta rise up, wake up and rise
Don't let them take away your culture
Don't let them take away your future, rise up, you got to rise

Never to breakdown never to fall we won't keep living with our backs agains the wall you say we're so ignorant but you can't see what might be right for you is not always good for me. All I wann know will we ever be free. Me loving you you loving me. You bring us to the groiund in a system built ofr fools then mastered the politricks. That kept us in your schools. You taught us anger by never showing love. Now I hope you never find out what we've been dreamin of. Never to breakdwon never to fall. We don't keep loving with our backs agians the wall. You say we're so ignorant but I can't agree cause I know what's right for you could never be right for me.

People ask me everywhere is that really all your hair, I just tell them that if it ain't well it sure don't mean that no I can't. Just don't believe it's fair to judge a man by the lengh of his hair. Take two words, like hip and square the truth will shine and not your hair. Even the blind can damn near see whats outside you and inside me. Down or high the truth or lie. A weak man's laugh can be a strong man's cry. Black or blond or nappy or fair, you can't judge nobody by hair. If I thought that yyou would care I'd wear a wig up undeer my hair. Down or high the strongmans cry. People everywhere ask is that really all your hair. I just tell them if it ain't well it sure don't mean I can't. I just don't belive it's fair to judge a man by the length of his hair.

It was a plot to take over
to diveid and conquer was the plan,
but there was one thing that they overlooked
the masses and multitudes across theis land.

Chorus:
Woe unto babylon,
we're comin in numbers, in numbers.
Woe unto babylon,
we're comin in numbers, in numbers.
Fight for your rights living in babylon
and don't believe when they tell you this world is just for you.

Weak abandoned by your leader.
Now you stand alone.
Loser in a war waged against right.
Wasn't even a fight, wasn't even a fight.



Chorus:
Woe unto babylon,
we're comin in numbers.
Yes, in numbers.
Woe unto babylon,
we're comin in numbers, in numbers.
Fight for your rights living in babylon
and don't believe when they tell you this wrold is just for you.

It was a plot to take over.
To divide and conquer was the plan,
but there was one thing they overlooked the masses and multitudes across this land.

I am not afraid of doing the things I do. There must be something better than liveing just like you. Is this what scares you deep inside your soul is this the trip that takes you where you're so afraid to go. Take your time and don't you fight what you know is true. Take your time. You're so afraid of dying but you're not afraid of flying. Did you think that I would run from you. Did you think you'd make me hide. There's a peaceful reality above the earth and sky a beautiful situation awaits our faithful eyes. Seeing you confused really don't turn me on. I wish that you would let go and let me lead you on. Living with this love has blessed my earthy form, the soul is everlasting and here. I'm safe and warm. I have tasted fruits and honey from a land so far away. I'd like you to come with me and stay for a day. A million miles and running the atmosphere is stunning. I know you'll want to stay here for the rest of your days. Open up you mind and let your soul do the thinking. Time to lose your hangups. Take your time and let love sink in! I am not afraid doing the things I do. There must be something better than living just like you... Take your time and let love sink in.

Is this the life that we're livin or is it a fantasy.
You can't believe everything they tell you is true.
So, find yourself and your peace of mind.
Come understand everything your sooul has to offer.
Pull it together find your peace of m9ind.
Get yourself together don't be left behind.
Must we hold on to false conquest that they have instilled in us.
Let us now pull it together and move with our hunger.
Oh! we'll cast away all of our fears. Grass for the cattle.
And herb for the service man.

I called your name out loud but you were too far to hear me crying. Can you see the rain outside my window falling like tears. You're so far away and the telephone won't do. Won't you save me if you can I can't Take another day like this without you here beside. Without you here with me. I really need you here with me. You know I don't mean to cry but sometimes the tears can wash away the time. It's just I never thought I'd fall in love again cause it was so bad before but you came and made it right. You came into my life you came and made it right. So I need you here tonight won't you save me if you can. I can't take another day like this what am I gonna do. Can't live without your love. Without you here with me I just don't know what I'm gonna do. I called your name out loud... without you here beside me without you here with me.
