Whoa man whoa, revolution is everywhere

They're rising up, everywhere around the world (rising up)
Low wage and a high priced market, ooh yeah (ooh)
How will we feed our little boys and girls?
Have you ever seen water carry inna basket? I say (ooh)

They're rising up, everywhere around the world (rising up)
Low wage and a high price market, uh yeah (ooh)
How will we feed our little boys and girls? (Rising up)
Have you ever seen water carried inna basket?

The cause of confrontation shall be economic crisis
Is not the fear of the Islam and is not the threat of ISIS
Hunger makes the need for satisfaction become so hard to resist
And they've got no consideration, I see only hardship answer, and so

They're rising up, everywhere around the world (rising up)
Low wage and a high price market, look deh (ooh)
Well how will we feed our little boys and girls? (Rising up)
Have you ever seen water carried in a basket?

Well the cost of labor pales in comparison
In comparison to price
And if they should raise the minimum wages
We would also see taxes rise
All across the world, in one accord, in one voice
The people, the people are so dissatisfied
You see them in the Middle East, you see them in the South
In the North and the Americas, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

They're rising up, everywhere around the world (rising up)
Low wage and a high priced market, uh yeah (ooh)
Well how will we feed our little boys and girls?
Have you ever seen water being carried in a basket? Hey

The boats have been on their face for too long
With every inch of ground, freedom slips like sand
No chance, no way out, no escape plan
No longer one race, one group, it's now everyone

Now everyone fighting for their survival, ay
They're rising up, everywhere around the world (rising up, up)
