Lyrics
I'm shipless, a doula a doula I, yeah. Wake up in the morning, shadows on the wall. And there is light, but they build the fall. As time will change the lives they spend, we rise from the dust. Let the fight begin, freedom's our friend. Rise up people, feel the rhythm in your soul. Drums are calling, let the truth unfold. No more hiding, no more chains to bear. We dance. We dance through the fire, justice in the air. Hey, move your feet, shake the ground, corruption's freedom sound. Hey, voice it loud, hearts unite, in this beat we play. Hey. Empty pockets, dreams are fired. In the night, they feast on the sweat. Under false light. But the faces thumping, hoes are crying out. We march together, turning whispers to shout. Feel the power extend, every sway. No surrender, we'll light the, we'll light the way. Rise up people, feel the rhythm in, in your soul. Rise up people, feel the rhythm in, in your soul. Drums are calling, let the truth unfold. No more hiding, no more chains to bear. We dance through the fire, justice in the air. Hey, move your feet, shake the ground, corruption's freedom sound. Hey, voice it loud, hearts unite, in this beat we play. Hey, move your feet, shake the ground, corruption's freedom sound. Hey, move your feet, shake the ground, corruption's freedom sound.
