Lowkey - We Will Rise Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
Is it just dream?, Am I a fool for trying?
I stand defiant but my enemy's the tallest giant,
Will visions be reality? they tell me never,
I wanna feel the unity that Malcolm felt in Mecca,
I wonder if it made sense in his last moments,
People don't value the soul cause they can't hold it,
Find something real beyond death and misery,
And understand the present in the context of history,
It's been established Sykes-Picot was a bitter marriage,
Since the day Thomas Edward Lawrence tricked the Arabs,
I never back stab my people like Abu Mazen,
I'll overthrow the monarchs like Abdul Karim Qassem,
This is a battle that many better men have died fighting,
But I hope to give an insight through my writing,
My pen fires at the men who defend liars,
I send fire till the end of your empire,

[Chorus: singer]
We will fight to live,
We will not give up,
We will not give in,
We will rise,

And through the blood and tears,
We will not give up,
We will not give in,
We will rise,

[Verse 2:]
Guess who's back, descendant of the occupied,
I represent the sentiments of many men you've colonized,
The President is eloquent but he's never been on my side,
Melanin's irrelevant cause everything was prophecised,
There was a time when they talked about the Arab Nation,
Broke our good leaders replaced them with a pack of masons,
Took your Keffiyeh and changed it to a fashion statement,
You sat with Satan, Camp David means assassination,
Peace in your imagination, that's not real,
I've been where Arafat got poisoned and Sadat got killed,
I'm not a martyr, just a man without a Masters or a master,
Trying to unite the people like Abdul Nasser,
This is a battle that many better men have died fighting,
But I hope to give an insight through my writing,
My pen fires at the men who defend liars,
I send fire till the end of your empire,

[Chorus: singer]
We will fight to live,
We will not give up,
We will not give in,
We will rise,

And through the blood and tears,
We will not give up,
We will not give in,
We will rise,

[Verse 3:]
If you're my brother, you're my brother but please be loyal,
Comrades for life till we're deep in soil,
They came to the middle east told us we need royals,
Just ask Mossadeq about BP Oil,
Look at history, the pecking order you will discover,
Nationalize your resources watch your children suffer,
Are you still my brother?
Even if BAE Systems gives us weapons to kill each other,
I strike back at the empire till it falls,
Most of us invest our money in building walls,
Mark the words of the lyricist that's written this,
Any money that I do make will build a bridge,
This is a battle that many better men have died fighting,
But I hope to give an insight through my writing,
My pen fires at the men who defend liars,
I send fire till the end of your empire,

[Chorus: singer]
We will fight to live,
We will not give up,
We will not give in,
We will rise,

And through the blood and tears,
We will not give up,
We will not give in,
We will rise.

    " And "the power" they "took" from "the people. . ."Will". . ."🙈🙉🙊🗿☒☐🚰⛑🛃$%🚾🚮☡☠⛐♿👾📳🛰🤖🏷🆔🕹🕸🎣😨😱🤕🆘🏥🚫🔄😷🤑🙏🎃😈👿😴😩😵🎰♳⌛⚰". . ."🤔⁉❓ℹ❔". . ."

    O.... B....

    "It takes time to change the system from within (Or not) which is strange since no one would really have to lose anything. So that power corrupts must incidently be related to a misaligned sense of selfproclaimed sovereign entitlement to/of controll, sadism, "egocentric" stubborness or an alien prescense. By "the" defining "reality" based through speculation from analytical critical examination/thinking we "all" were psuedo-encouraged to."

    O.... B....

    "12 years as a slave" was an interesting film, however "i" did not quite understand why the group of black african americans did not overwhelm their overseers outnumbered "10:2" nor why solomon platt wouldn't tell/inform the master to begin with, why he stopped hitting "the overseer" displeased with his "uninspiring fine craftsmanship", or why he did not continue working while waiting therafter before being temporarily hanged and later saved. It also seems like the canal transport of logs, efficient as the engineering feat may have been hindered good genetic "muscular build" if structured correctly. "Quick fixes and shortcuts." - "dei" sour with their hate, you're nt-manless ("not a man" = "ring any bells" in "modern age"?"), you damn eunuck of the ever wa. If wont stand for me then be a credit to your own kind. beat it out " f em' ". "mrs/misses "hr" department "daddy's" gi "overseer" complex"?"

    O.... B....

    "I found "that comment" quite "compelling" in " a disgusting treacherous manner " knowing "the lack of self reflection" put in "a reversal positioning." Seeing its "the white man" or "church" that was "ultimately" held "responsible" in "media/historical documents", even in "social situations" or " feminist "policy" politics "to" this day." Women " had no right "to vote." Oppressed as they "all" may have seemed, took care of household and raised children, before allegedly with the help of "community", "families" & "slaves" (location, location, location) " (and in "my" family they had "10" little helpers at home, starting at 4, but again relative to time.) And if loyal could ocerthrow *overthrow the father or dispose of him (quietly) in his sleep. Men officially gained rights only a few hundred years before, relative to location again but was still obligated to defend "the nation" or else, and most surely logically would have educated them, their own families in the essentials if it would relieve the burdens of everyday life and future existence and community not enforced punishment or sanctions against him."Isn't it "them" who "create and maintain", in-equality "together" and "we" are "the front" for "politics" and the so called "equal pay agenda" raising both salaries, so "the problem" is consistent while ignoring "social freedoms", beneficiaries, opportunity, special discounts/criminalisation etc." Again relative to location, authority & social circles. Why would they all hit each other so much for looks like a continuation of a bad "semi-orchestrated" circle it seems. Unless to correct "bad behaviour" without alternatives."Eager" for "misplaced revenge" or "selfish capitalization "?" Now "a part of "the women and equality" movement are saying they ("women") are under pressure, fitting the social norms and fashion trends. Yet seem to be major supporters of ("looking away"/it), and "gender racial discrimination and sexism" in general. (Snipp snipp, Funny to hear about a man getting his johnson or balls cut off huh, but not the opposite "sown together.") Usually without ahearing to "the opposite" unless it is in "regards" to "Hbtq"/"Lgbt" or "immigration". So if they are against "the bad eggs" how come they/seemingly most of em' dont "agree" or "openly" side with "me." When it comes "down" to it." And/when is "fully" explained, in plain." Chances are "i" have not been "privileged" enogh to partake in "the full analytical disclosure" and "the world" is allegedly "much worse." And will "be used" as "an excuse."To hold" over "me." Or maybe "a great change is still underway."

    O.... B....

    "would that" make "a good" movie? "women" conceling "their role in history" siding with "the winners" plotting in "the dark", while "men were sent to war", proceeding as "breeders" and "sleeper cells" indoctrinating "future generations" an unholy union "selling the soul of humanity" only to be "reborn" in "the afterlife" suckling " for "devout worshippers and sacrifices." Or maybe something more "elaborate."

    O.... B....

    "Eve. . ." - "Appuhl"?" - "snaeijyhk." - "union" curse from "the first" decendent "alternate story, biblical derivative." sounded better" later on, but quite "logically" from "the beginning."

    Louise Taylor "LtM", "hyperstimulating" the "amygdala" will make most "cave in. . ." At least "momentarily."As with "hightened sensitivity" to "pain", with " " no where " " to "go"

    Western leaders have fucked over Arabs and Muslims for nearly over 2 centuries.....it goes beyond the shit you see in today's setting....(ie: Emir Faisal,Mossadegh,Nasser,Hussein Iran-Iraq War era,etc)

  35. H.... M....

    Whats going on with the lyrics???? its has these  lyrics on all the sites, but it doesn't match the actual song?

    H.... M....

    No idea, but I have figured them out myself:

    Is it just a dream?
    Am I a fool for trying?
    I stand defiant but my enemies the tallest giant
    Will my visions be reality they tell me never
    I wanna feel the unity that Malcolm felt in Mecca
    I wonder If It made sense in his lasts moments
    People don't value the soul cuz they can't hold it
    Find something real, beyond death and misery
    And understand the present in the context of history
    It's been established Sykes-picot was a bitter marriage
    Since the day Thomas Edward Lawrence tricked the Arabs
    Please be loyal, till we're deep in soil
    You can ask Mossadeq about BP oil
    This is a battle, that many better men have died fighting
    But I hope to leave an insight through my writing
    My pen fires at the men who defend liars
    I send fire till the end of your empire

    (VERSE)

    Guess who's back, descendent of the occupied
    I represent the sentiments of many men you've colonized
    The president is eloquent but he's never been on my side
    His melanin's irrelevant cuz everything was prophetised
    There was a time when they talked about the Arab nation
    Broke our good leaders the road map was a fabrication
    Took your Keffiyeh and changed it to a fashion statement
    You sat with Satan, camp David means assassination
    Peace in your imagination that's not real
    I've been where Arafat got poisoned and Sadat got killed
    I'm not a martyr I'm just a man without a masters
    Or a master a runaway slave it's freedom I am after
    This is a battle, that many better men have died fighting
    But I hope to leave an insight through my writing
    My pen fires at the men who defend liars
    I say fire to the end of your empire

  36. J.... S....

    Amazing song.

  43. U.... N....

    right ,your comment deserves infinite thumb ups cuz' you said the truth ;)

  44. D.... T....

    Real verses, from beginning to end,
    hopefully, a message it'll send,
    to those in the world that do wrong,
    we must just face em, stand strong,
    never give up, never give in,
    surrender, would be the only sin,
    I don't care what others do or think,
    but you're sailing a ship that will sink,
    stand by your values and morals,
    as in the sea, the vibrant coral....

  45. L.... ....

    Regular people write on those pages.. go ahead, write it down if you will.

  46. _.... ....

    Thanks for the recommendation :)

  47. G.... D....

    Charlie Chaplin from The Great Dictator
    I like his speech in that movie

  48. M.... S....

    Why don't the lyrics in the description all match the actual lyrics in the video?

  49. n.... e....

    This song sends shivers through my spine every time i listen. Amazing.

  50. H.... R....

    i am reading the book all the shahs men... this song really describes the books various points. read the book.. its about 200 something pages.. by stephen kinzer. you can read it in one day.. you will fully understand this song.

  51. Y.... S....

    He's not a martyr, he's a leader

  52. m.... k....

    i hope lowkey is okay :""{

  53. T.... ....

    I can only assume your comment is a joke? Russia and China no problems.... Russia has one of the most aggressive and fucked up political systems in the world whilst China is ruthlessly run, executing thousands of their own citizens each year whilst they mindlessly support tyrants and war criminals. Don't get me wrong the USA is fucked up as well. Anti-American Muslim's are fighting for their freedom from foreign invasion, that's a joke also?

  54. b.... A....

    for every thumbs up = 10 sucker punches on the usa government

  55. F.... M....

  58. S.... ....

    Because they can't handle the truth.

  59. S.... ....

    I wonder why?

  60. S.... ....

    Lyrics sites won't write the real lyrics.

  61. K.... S....

    i love u just for that

  62. J.... P....

    I'm not even sure why it affects me so much. She's not being deep, of course, she's not facing some internal struggle and being poetic, she's just being a kid. But when I listen to this, and think of that, the tears start flowing.

  63. J.... P....

    I rarely ever cry when I listen music, but there are just a few songs on this albums that moves me to tears, and this is one of them. It's mostly from the ending, where she's tlaking about "spreading her wings." It reminds of this Reception child at this school I work in. In the playground, she frequently flaps her arms saying "I want to fly! Why can't I fly?"

  64. M.... J....

    Ignorance is venomous - Immortal Technique was right ^^

  65. Y.... ....

    Some of these lyrics don't match the songs lyrics

  66. a.... ....

    We will Rise <3

  67. S.... y....

    Agree with it all but the communism thing. Russia is fucked up.

    S.... y....

    Showingtheway y arabs are fucked up too look at their shithole countries its everywhere

  68. S.... y....

    Stop trying to hate on things you dont understand.

  69. M.... M....

    I love this song, but The uploader really needs to go and find the correct lyrics

  70. s.... ....

  71. W.... K....

    WOW IS IT JUST A DREAM MY NIGGA. UR THE BEST AND I BET THEIR IS MILLION OF VIEWS BUT THEY DON'T SHOW IT HATTERS. UR THE FUCKING MAN IRAQIS NEED A MAN LIKE THIS. AND MORE LIME HIM . U WILL ALWAYS RISE IN OUR EYES PEACE

  72. R.... M....

    China and Russia, no problems? What the fuck are you on? Wake up. They arn't communist country's either, merely past and presently labelled Communist. A Communist state is not controlled by central government, and is not a police state either. *cough* Not China at all *cough* The soviets wern't communists once Lenin left power *cough* Stalin was shit *Cough* any true marxist thinks Stalin was a cunt.

  73. R.... M....

    My heart to the people of Chile, Allende, 1973. US funded and trained Pinochet's army and coup to take over the socialist elected government in Chile, then killed a fuckton of people :/

  74. J.... S....

    charlie chaplin the great dictator was perfect for this song 2 thumbs up lowkey

  75. G.... C....

    You miss the entire meaning of the lyrics so just shut up.

  76. A.... O....

    sir, first of all its not a country of freedom, example the USA PATRIOT ACT, TSA, the national defense act, the FBI and their right to tap and bug your house without a warrant. secondly really internet? thats another way the media controls you dumbass. we dont NEED the internet, communism? whats wrong with that? its the best for of govt, look at china and Russia, no problems. those anti-american muslims are fighting for their freedom from foreign invasion, just like this country did with england

  77. R.... ....

    Actually, the whole fuckin internet was invented by Tim Berners-Lee. A British dude, not USA

  78. A.... H....

    Whoa, calm down lol.

  79. D.... ....

    That's right! People should spread this video through Facebook and/or Twitter. Because we really should set fire to the empire they call the USA

  80. M.... ....

    He meant in the description, the guy changed the lyrics...

  81. D.... G....
