Reverb echoes envelop the socially conscious lyrics on resistance and unity, creating a spacious dub-influenced mix that immerses listeners in a spiritual groove. Layered horns and organ swells build to an empowering chorus, evoking the timeless Jamaican sound of rebellion and hope.
Lyrics
Feel the rise, roots, roots deep Touch the skies Stand firm, feel the rise, roots deep Deep, touch the skies Shadows creep on weary ground Heavy chains try pull us down But fire burns within our core We rise up we ask no more Winds of change begin to call We rise up, we ask no more Breaking walls that make us fall Resistance, oh resistance Heartbeat strong in sweet persistence No more bending to the storm We claim the light, we keep it warm Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, feel it flow Through every vein Let freedom grow Oh, oh, oh, oh Linger from the fight Voices join in endless night Pulse that drives us side by side Waves of power turn the tide Hold the line, don't turn away Tomorrow's dawn, breaks through the gray Resistance, oh resistance Heartbeat strong in sweet persistence No more bending to the storm We claim the light, we keep it warm Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, feel it flow Through every vein Let freedom grow In the quiet, spirit wakes Unseen forces shake the stakes One step forward, never break Unity's the power of the mind The path we take Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, oh resistance Heartbeat strong in sweet persistence No more bending to the storm We claim the light, we keep it warm Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, feel it flow Through every vein Let freedom grow Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, oh resistance Roots run deep, resistance Eternally, we keep Roots run deep, resistance Roots run deep, resistance Roots run deep, resistance Roots run deep, resistance Eternally, we keep Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, oh resistance Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, oh resistance Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, oh resistance Resistance, oh resistance Oh, oh, oh, oh Resistance, oh resistance
