Rise Up
I rise up from pretence
I rise up from ashes
I rise up from jealousy
I rise up from envy
I rise up from the hate
I rise up from being discriminated
I rise up from being an outcast
I rise up from being called ugly names
I rise up from having a dark skin
I rise up from being judged
I rise up from speaking my mother tongue
I rise up from death
I rise up from being assasinated
I rise up because I can
I rise up because I am an African
I rise up because I am different
I rise up because I am myself
I rise up because I was born to rise
