"Rise Up" Duffy King

"Rise Up" Lyrics by Duffy King

(vrs1.)
Welcome to the World that we live in
Like it or not, its what we all were given
We have to tear down old institutions
Our clock is running out, to find solutions

(chorus)
Rise up, what's everybody waiting for
Time's up, we're all in this together now
Let's go, let's move, you know, i't time to rise and shine
REVOLUTION's CALLING
(vrs. 2)
Weve been waiting far too long
To see the promises fulfilled, and right the wrongs
Someone has to make a real change
Everything that we know, now has to be rearranged

A chosen few cant tell us which way to go
Its OUR WORLD, OUR LIFE
We have to take control

Rise Up (chorus)

(Bridge)
Make a stand,
Raise your hands and be counted
Raise your hands and be counted

Reach out to your Sisters and your Brothers
Reach out, Reach out to one another
Made a stand
Raise your hands and be counted
Reach out to your Sisters and your Brothers
Reach out to one another.
Cause its all we got.

Rise Up( chorus.)

(vrs.3)
If anyone really cares about tomorrow
Or the many who live in oppression and sorrow
Our planet is in peril all around us

We need to stand together as one.

Rise Up (chorus)


The final song in the Tommy Lee Methods of Mayhem Public Record Project. This one was different, as we were only given a drum track and children's vocal melody on the chorus. It was open for writing lyrics, melodies, chord changes. I wrote the verse, bridge lyrics and melody, as well as the chord changes. Step-son Grant is multi-tracked in, on the choruses.
P.S. There was no part correction or Auto Tune used on this recording, what you hear, is how it was............

Good song, but if the world is telling you how to live; stop listening.

You dont need to rise up, if anything you need to sit down.

There is no need to get violent to stop what is coming, you just need to listen.

[organicstevewilson]

Duffy dances! Who's your choreographer? No don't tell me Karen! Great job on the song and this fabulous father son collaboration! And Karen I see you mastered that point and shoot camera in only a couple of weeks since we talked. Such talent. A real family project.

Sensational!! And I'm betting that's exactly what Tommy Lee's saying as he watches / listens to what my very talented friend Duffy King created starting with his (Lee's) drum track and chorus. On 'Master Grant' -- stellar job as co-front man, little bud!! And Kare's getting ready to take over for James Cameron. Wishing you continuing success!!
