Rise Up

Rise Up - The Skints/Parly B

Well Forest Gate was in my heart

Manor Park was in my arteries

I guess after all the parties

Walthamstow's become a part of me

And bunnin' all this Woodford

Green has made me Chingford

Hatch a plan so yeah man

I will be Leytonstone'd but at least

I will know where I stand and

I dunno about the Rio Grande

But I'll tell you bout the River Thames

And I've never been to Montego Bay

But I'll tell ya about the Ilford ends

And on the real fam man

I deal with friends and

I'll never put a Dagenham

And yes I will go Barking mad if the people

Start attacking 'em and

I Wanstead on my own

But they now there is a crew of us

So watch out you don't get Clapton Road

If you man out to slew and duss

And big enough for the two of us

This town don't seem to be

Been up and down the Lea Bridge

Strip like each and every week singing

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(We are the roughneck scouts)

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(Dis ah the wickedest sound)

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(We are the roughneck scouts)

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

So I bet you think you're

Rougher than them

Tougher than them

See you dying to cry cause

I play you like instrument

Calling out the mandem

Cause man can't understand them

I tread on the level because

Nowhere is where I can't step

I bet you think you're knowing

How to fight for survival

Living off the government and

Pray from the bible

I bet you think you know about the roots

But it's no rival I'm rocking the baroque

Larking with Bach I'm analysing

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

We are the roughneck scouts

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(Dis ah the wickedest sound)

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(We are the roughneck scouts)

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

I tell them "Rise up

Me ah listen good music inna evening

Until the morning time Rise up

Me ah dance ah Reggae music inna midnight

Until the sun start shine Rise up

Me ah listen good music inna evening

Until the morning time Rise up

Me ah dance ah Reggae music inna midnight

Until the sun start shine"

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(We are the roughneck scouts)

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(Dis ah the wickedest sound)

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(We are the roughneck scouts)

The Skints we are gonna kill

You inna this here time

(Dis ah the wickedest sound)

The Skints we are gonna

Kill you inna this here time
