Captain - The Rise Lyrics

Rise up and don't standby
Get up and do something till your satisfied
All you see is the problem
Gotta solve em
Move along and
Get along with
The times
Education the key
To the civilisation
Emancipate the people set us free

Cape Town the city that don't sleep
Keep to my grind
Let me roll up my sleeves
Fight for a peace
Let the peace set us free
Grade after grade
Get the know learn to speak
We are African
This my beat
Don't miss a moment
Witness their defeat
Hear thunder roar from underneath the feet
It's a jungle out here up in these streets
Don't fool around with people that don't sleep
Honesty a modern value that so cheap
Lie to my face and the eyes don't blink
Think for a nation, what do people think
Run for the freedom the victim is linked
Look at the picture around the black ink
If life ever was a movie I wouldn't blink
Don't be fooled even wickedness has a wink

Now think about who idolise
Now let it sink

Rise up and don't standby
Get up and do something till your satisfied
All you see is the problem
Gotta solve em
Move along and
Get along with
The times
Education the key
To the civilisation
Emancipate the people set us free

Psychological warfare on your doorstep
There's a flaw under floor under the door mat
You can see what you could be if you had all that
I can see what I could be if I had known that
It's a fact I'm on attack yeah I'ma roll up
It's a war tires the floor smell the aroma
I can keep on going I'm going, cause this my moment
Listen to the words that I'm saying yeah I'ma own it
Slow it down so they can read my lips
I don't need no friends I ain't asking for tips
You shouldn't trust nobody that you have to convince
Ans if he ain't your friend till you shoot get some sense
Think about who you wanna be tie some ends
And if you did wrong somebody make amends
We all wanna live in a house with no fence
We all wanna walk pick a talk not be tense
The gang violence is nonsense I'm honest
Kids die in the street all day like it's a contest
People chasing money not their dreams don't see the progress
We the people need to come together make a congress
Divided we fall, but together we conquer
Fist in the air we can take it no longer

Yeah you heard what I said
Make it louder

Rise up and don't standby
Get up and do something till your satisfied
All you see is the problem
Gotta solve em
Move along and
Get along with
The times
Education the key
To the civilisation
Emancipate the people set us free
