Another body touched the ground My little brother life is gone Tonight our hearts are bleeding can you feel it Murderers run the town Little brother life is gone
This is the rise, the rise of a riot Too long dem ah play with the fire now the city shall burn City shall burn The rise, the rise of a riot The voices that have been silenced tonight shall be heard
I say the riot it nah easy undone What you gonna do when you go hear the drum The fire red like a morning sun But disya time the night goes on and on
Politics ah bawl promises they never recall For the people left aside it′s all we´ve seen and all we′ve known Oh what a shame that we caught you on a smartphone Now we want justice for each and everyone You go ratata for real ‘pon the people Lost inna the haystack medias look for the needle No excuse nah work you know this is political Right now the riot ah spread like a ripple
Tell them police Can´t you hear when my soul cries And the tears in my eyes burn You′ve shot a kid like a criminal And so the riot haffi rise again The riot ah rise again
Well the rise, the rise of a riot Too long dem ah play with the fire now the city shall burn The rise, the rise of a riot The voices that have been silenced tonight shall be heard
I say the riot it nah easy undone What you gonna do when you go hear the drum The fire red like a morning sun But disya time the night goes on and on
This is the rise, the rise of a riot Too long dem ah play with the fire now the city shall burn The rise, the rise of a riot The voices that have been silenced tonight shall be heard
The riot, the riot, the riot, the riot A riot, a riot, a riot, a riot A riot, a riot, a riot, a riot A riot, a riot, a riot, a riot
