Rise From Di Dark

Intro

Mm-hmm

Dem smile wid dem teeth

But di heart cold

Mi know

Mi know

Verse 1

Mi memba when wi share di same plate

Now yuh trade mi fi a likkle paper weight

Dem laugh inna mi face like mi nuh see

Jealousy a move quiet like a thief

Poverty teach mi fi read every eye

Who a real friend and who a live a lie

Nuff a dem a wolf underneath di wool

Mi nuh trust nobody when di moon full

Pre-Chorus

So mi stand up firm

Mi nuh bow mi head

Rastafari lead mi through di dread

Chorus

Mi rise from di dark

Mi rise from di dark

Dem bury mi deep but mi light it up

Mi rise from di dark

Mi rise from di dark

Jah Jah never leave mi alone

(Alone)

(Alone)

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh

Mi nah fall

Whoa-oh

Not at all

Verse 2

Dem hide dem pain behind a pretty grin

Whole heap a secret buried deep within

Mi cry inna di night when nobody look

Still mi haffi strong fi di yute dem book

Corruption a smile when it shake yuh hand

Whole system a lie mi cyaan understand

But mi nuh sell out and mi nuh go fake

Mi carry mi truth like a heavy weight

Pre-Chorus

So mi stand up firm

Mi nuh bow mi head

Rastafari lead mi through di dread

Smile through di storm

Smile through di pain

Nothing yuh do cyaan break mi again

Fire inna mi soul

Dem bring di water but mi rise above

Mi rise up from di dark

Dem bury mi deep but mi light it up

Mi light it up
