Lyricson - Wise Up Lyrics

WISE UP

Ghetto youths, wise up and uplift yourself
Time for us to live upright and stop kill ourselves
Ghetto youths, wise up and uplift yourself
Don t stoop low for material wealth
Ghetto youths, wise up and uplift yourself
I say good over evil life over death
Ghetto youths, wise and uplift yourself
In this time I say to stop fight yourself

Because we’ve got so much works to do and so much seeds to plant
Only way to achieve it is to do it hand in hand
See the ghetto people them they have been suffering for too long
They say they’re tired of the pressure they want better days to come
It’s not easy to bare the life down in the slum
When you don’t even know when your next meal is going to come
When gunshots echo in the air like drums
Bills and Taxes increase and you have no income
Still you got to keep the faith yes you got to hold on
Never worry yourself just keep the faith and be strong
The love of Rastafari guides and keeps you all along
Jah protect us through the cold and through the storm

CHORUS

I’m done telling the ghetto youths that unity is strength
So let’s come together burn the crime and violence
Elevate your mind free up your conscience
Give thanks to Rastafari for his care and guidance
And never let the system come treat you like a fool
They will use and abuse you then will kick you like mule
And never let no one take you for no footstool
Just live your life clean and follow the golden rule
The Most High keep me safe from those who try to get me down
And he set my feet upon a solid ground
Jah Jah, keep me safe from those vipers around
That’s why I give thanks and praises to the Man who wears the Crown

CHORUS

Because we’ve got so much works to do and so much seeds to plant
Only way to achieve it is to do it hand in hand
See the ghetto people them they have been suffering for too long
They say they’re tired of the pressure they want better days to come
It’s not easy to bare the life down in the slum
When you don’t even know when your next meal is going to come
When gunshots echo in the air like drums
Bills and Taxes increase and you have no income
Still you got to keep the faith yes you got to hold on
Never worry yourself just keep the faith and be strong
The love of Rastafari guides and keeps you all along
Jah protect us through the cold and through the storm
