Wise Up Lyrics by Mutabaruka

The Ultimate Collection

1994

Got to be upfront in this time
Can’t stand and look from behind
Got to be in what’s going down
Stand the stand in solid ground and
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up, question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Can’t kneel and pray everyday
Make a move jah will show the way
[?] spent but the reapers are few
Wise up you’ll have to know what to do and
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up, question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Wishing and hoping, dreaming in de stress
Make a movе, the world is in a mess
Got to find your coin in da fountain
We all havе been on top of the mountain
Make a move, the time is now
Don’t ask for a reason, don’t ask how just
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up, question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Got to say no when it’s no
Got to say yes when it’s yes
Got to fight for life’s true worth
Got to get your piece of earth
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up, question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Got to be upfront in this time
Can’t stand and look from behind
Got to be in what’s going down
Stand the stand in solid ground, you better
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up and question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Wise up children (wise up)
Wise up sistren (wise up)
Wise up brothers (wise up)
Wise up fathers (wise up)
Wise up people (wise up)
Wise up, wise up
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up and question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up and question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up and question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Wishing and hoping, dreaming in de stress
Make a move, the world is in a mess
Got to find your coin in da fountain
We all have been on top of the mountain
Make a move, the time is now
Don’t ask for reason, don’t ask how just
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up, question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Got to say no when it’s no
Got to say yes when it’s yes
Got to fight for life’s true worth
Got to get your piece of earth
Wise up to what life’s bringing
Wise up, question the system
Wise up, you’ve got the right
Wise up, stand up and fight
Wise up wise up (wise up)
Wise up wise up (wise up)
Wise up wise up (wise up)
Wise up wise up (wise up)
Wise up wise up (you better wise up)
Wise up wise up (you better wise up)
Wise up wise up (wise up)
Wise up wise up (wise up)
