We will rise

[00:03.32] The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,

[00:06.51] And the power they took from the people will return to the people.

[00:09.96] And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

[00:13.41] Is it just dream?, Am I a fool for trying?

[00:16.60] I stand defiant but my enemy's the tallest giant,

[00:19.52] Will my visions be reality? they tell me never,

[00:22.44] I wanna feel the unity that Malcolm felt in Mecca,

[00:25.10] I wonder if it made sense in his last moments,

[00:27.76] People don't value the soul cos they can't hold it,

[00:30.68] Find something real beyond death and misery,

[00:33.34] And understand the present in the context of history,

[00:36.26] It's been established Sykes-Picot was a bitter marriage,

[00:39.18] Since the day Thomas Edward Lawrence tricked the Arabs,

[00:42.36] Please be loyal til we deep in soil

[00:44.22] You can ask Mosadeq about BP oil

[00:46.62] This is a battle that many better men have died fighting,

[00:50.33] But I hope to leave an insight through my writing,

[00:53.26] My pen fires at the men who defend liars,

[00:56.18] I send fire till the end of your empire,

[00:59.10] We will fight to live,

[01:01.23] We will not give up,

[01:04.41] We will not give in,

[01:06.54] We will rise,

[01:08.93] And through the blood and tears,

[01:12.38] We will not give up,

[01:15.04] We will not give in,

[01:17.44] We will rise,

[01:21.16] Guess who's back, descendant of the occupied,

[01:24.35] I represent the sentiments of many men you've colonized,

[01:27.01] The President is eloquent but he's never been on my side,

[01:29.93] Melanin's irrelevant cos everything was prophecised,

[01:32.58] There was a time when they talked about the Arab Nation,

[01:35.51] Broke our good leaders the roadmap was a fabrication,

[01:38.43] Took your Keffiyeh and changed it to a fashion statement,

[01:41.08] You sat with Satan, Camp David means assassination,

[01:44.27] Peace in your imagination, that's not real,

[01:46.40] I've been where Arafat got poisoned and Sadat got killed,

[01:49.59] I'm not a martyr, just a man without a Masters or a master,

[01:52.50] Runaway slave It's freedom I am after

[01:55.43] This is a battle that many better men have died fighting,

[01:58.35] But I hope to give an insight through my writing,

[02:01.01] My pen fires at the men who defend liars,

[02:03.66] I send fire till the end of your empire,

[02:06.59] We will fight to live,

[02:33.68] We will not give up,

[02:35.01] We will not give in,

[02:37.13] We will rise,

[02:39.26] And through the blood and tears,

[02:45.10] We will not give up,

[02:45.90] We will not give in,

[02:48.02] We will rise,
