Rise Up Lyrics

Skints Rise Up

Well Forest Gate was in my heart, Manor Park was in my
arteries, I guess after all the parties Walthamstow's
become a part of me. And bunnin' all this Woodford
Green has made me Chingford Hatch a plan, so yeah man,
I will be Leytonstone'd but at least I will know where
I stand and I dunno about the Rio Grande, but I'll tell
you bout the River Thames, and I've never been to
Montego Bay, but I'll tell ya about the Ilford ends.
And on the real fam, man I deal with friends and I'll
never put a Dagenham, and yes I will go Barking mad if
the people start attacking 'em and I Wanstead on my
own, but they now there is a crew of us, so watch out
you don't get Clapton Road, if you man out to slew and
duss, and big enough for the two of us, this town don't
seem to be, been up and down the Lea Bridge strip like
each and every week singing...

(CHORUS)

The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time.

(We are the roughneck scouts)

The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time.

(Dis ah the wickedest sound)

The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time.

(We are the roughneck scouts)

The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time.

(Dis ah the wickedest sound)

So I bet you think you're rougher than them, tougher
than them, see you dying to cry cause I play you like
instrument, calling out the mandem, cause man can't
understand them, I tread on the level because nowhere
is where I can't step. I bet you think you're knowing
how to fight for survival, living off the government
and pray from the bible. I bet you think you know about
the roots but it's no rival. I'm rocking the baroque,
larking with Bach, I'm analysing!

CHORUS

I tell them "Rise up! Me ah listen good music inna
evening, until the morning time. Rise up! Me ah dance
ah Reggae music inna midnight, until the sun start
shine. Rise up! Me ah listen good music inna evening,
until the morning time. Rise up! Me ah dance ah Reggae
music inna midnight, until the sun start shine".

CHORUS
