    YES, I WILL RISE

    Hands

    JAH..LET DIS RIDDIM SPEAK FA ME

    RIGHT NOW I CYAN'T SEE

    WHO IS BRUDDA D'EE

    TRU DE TEARS IN ME LYING EYES

     

    Brother of Jah

    you have every right ta question what I've done

    a wise mon once said

    ya cyan't stand fa righteousness

    if ya offend no one

     

    Sista Friend

    ya h'ave every right to question me loyalty

    though we've come far

    I y'aint de mon I should be

    so sorry

    so sorry

     

    Brother of Jah

    so many river we cross

    so much we've lost

    but a mon on a righteous mission

    don't need to take time 2 ta weigh da cost

    walk by me please

    leave me pon me knees

     

    Sista Friend

    you have no reason to believe in my word

    so many times I say then

    don't wanna do

    I sound absurd

    all I have heard

    negatively about Brudda D'ee

    is true for sure

    me mud cling to me like de sow

    but ya Brudda D'ee

    not ready

    for the slaughter house right now

     

    Tek a good look at de tears in me eyes

    pon my Day of Judgement dey will dry

    who den will ya critisize

    when I rise

    and yes

    I will rise

     

    Brother of Jah

    tek dis opportunity to have your way

    righteous to many you have been

    I live in sin

    begin

    the trail

    convict me with a smile

    tell me only chile

    her fadda disgrace

    the Black Race

     

    Sista Friend

    don't ya shed na tear for a mon who lie

    no need for you to fight

    for the right

    to justify

    our union

    it was me who spilled de blood of Christ

    at me first communion

     

    Brother of Jah

    so Jah say de wicked mon stand in judgement

    for he lifetime of sins

    you wear de mark of the risen savior

    your inquisition can begin

    anytime

    anyplace

    the taste

    of my betrayal

    is stale

    pon me wicked lips

     

    Sister Friend

    Brother of Jah already provide de wood

    please bring de nails

    let de slave drivers whip me with cat o' nine tails

    and hang me pon de tree

    above me head place a sign of derision

    HERE IS DE BODY OF BRUDDA D'EE

    and leave me

    so de birds of prey can h'ave dey fill

    of my diseased spirit an body

     

    But before ya crucify

    tek a good look at de tears in me eyes

    pon me Judgement Day

    they will dry

    who den will de people critisize

    when I rise

    yes I WILL RISE

     

    Jah say I comin back in new body and mind

    now is your time

    but one day

    vengeance will be mine

    when I rise

    and yes

    I WILL RISE
