Rise up, wake up Don't remember all the times you've fallen Don't look back at the place you Said you were never going The only time you look back Is to laugh at the past Cos where life is taking you nobody can tell They may say I from ghetto They may say I from ghetto The white man came to give us all the best he had Of course that's what he promised when he came to exploit the land They saw that everything we had was fresh and new, And he started planning how is gonna take me as his slave He brought dem shining objects and he gave us for free But what we did not know there's nothing for free
