Unifying all Africans
Rise up everybody ready to work
(Conquer your fears)
Rise up everybody ready to work

Every one's got so much to say

So hard they live is the knowledge of the wise
We got to rise and everyman conquer the fears
Rise up everybody ready to work
Rise up everybody ready to work
We talk so much it's like a job to the ears
Rise up everybody get ready to work
Rise up everybody get ready to work
As if we all work together as one
I can't help my children to grow up and witness the same
The only way things can be done
Even with the hand in hand with white man
Rise up everybody ready to work

(From the north to the south)
So much prophets have spoken though the years
(From the east to the west)
Rise up everybody ready to work
Rise up everybody get ready to work
Don't let money stop the young minds
Come to help you as above poverty
Rise up everybody ready to work
Rise up everybody get ready to work
Rise up everybody get ready to work
Listen to the sounds of heritage and get ready to work
I got visions of everyman working in one unity, one unity

Rise up everybody ready to work
I got vision of everyman working in one unity
Rise up everybody ready to work
Rise up everybody ready to work
(Get ready ya)
The ghetto youth have the strength to survive
As time passes everything remains the same
(Get ready ya)
Rise up everybody ready to work

Still no one wants to lead the way

Rise up everybody ready to work
Rise up everybody ready to work
Rise up everybody ready to work

They made the righteous choice between good over evil
See, we're the real revolutionaries
(Get ready ya)
You stand around waiting for a change
Rise up everybody ready to work
Give them the knowledge and don't chop them a dime
Rise up everybody ready to work
We got working to stop money from destroying mankind

For the people to rise and revolutionize the day
