Resister

Oppose the flow or take the role

They're only askin' for your body and soul

And your mind is not your own

Until you comprehend the forms of control

All the underdog black sheep

Fighters of the powers that be

In tenements, high rises

Freedom fighters, the outsiders

'Cause some of us are healin'

And some of us are feedin' the pain

We just need to speak it

So we can proceed again

Hey, sister

Don't let your heart close its fist, yeah, yeah

You got to get up, up, be a resister

You got to get up, up, be a resister

Sometimes it's too much, you know

And I know they got you feelin' down low

But there's just one way to dig ourselves from this hole

'Cause t-t-t-t-true change only comes from below

Breeze riders, occupiers residin'

In otherwise sidelined quarters

On doorways, on corners, and borders

'Cause some of us are healin'

And some of us are feedin' the pain

And we just need to speak it

So we can proceed again

Hey, sister

Don't let your heart close its fist ,yeah, yeah

You got to get up, up, be a resister

You got to get up, up, be a resister

Hey, sister

Don't let your heart close its fist, yeah, yeah

You got to get up, up, be a resister

You got to get up, up, be a resister

The slackers, the sleepless, the homeless, the loners

Sex workers with a service

Street workers riskin' murder

On council estates reclaiming space

From ethical leaders

And we just need to speak it so we can proceed again

Hey, sister

Don't let your heart close its fist, yeah, yeah

You got to get up, up, be a resister

You got to get up, up, be a resister

Hey, sister

Don't let your heart close its fist, yeah, yeah

You got to get up, up, be a resister

You got to get up, up, be a resister

You got to get up, up, be a resister

You got to get up, up, be a resister
