INTRO — PHONE TALK SILL-E: “Yo, mi bredren, you ready?” “Ready fi what?” “Fi wake up di people, man. No more sleepwalking through Babylon.” “Then turn up di riddim!” HOOK One love, one fight, we rise up tonight, From the islands to the streets, keep the vision in sight. Jah guide my steps when the road get rough, Mi say life give pressure, but we built tough. One love! One heart! One family! We break every chain that was holding we down. English with the patois, bass shake the ground, When the people unite, hear the whole world sound! VERSE 1 Mi step through the fire with a crown made of scars, Turn pain into fuel, now I’m reaching for stars, Babylon build walls, but the mind stay free, Can’t lock up a soul when the spirit got the key. Mi bredren say, “Forward!” — so mi never retreat, Got the rhythm in my blood and the truth in the beat, Capitalism got the hungry chasing paper like prey, While the clock keep ticking and it stealing the day. Jah know every struggle that we carry inside, Some smile for the world while the tears they hide, Mi rhyme like thunder when the dark clouds form, Every bar hit hard like a tropical storm. From Kingston to Brooklyn, from Philly to Queens, Different streets, same struggle, same broken dreams, But if love is the language, then let it be spoken— Build bridges with the pieces of the hearts that were broken. VERSE 2 Mi seh, “Wake up!” — don’t sleep through the mission, Television sell fear, politicians sell division, They put gold on the cage then they call it success, But freedom ain’t a chain with a diamond attached. Mi flow like a river cutting stone through time, Every metaphor carry a piece of my mind, Sun blazing hot but the soul stay cooler, I don’t follow Babylon, mi follow the ruler. No hate in the heart, that’s poison to drink, You can drown in your anger before you even blink, So mi plant good seeds where the concrete grow, Water them with love, watch the whole thing glow. Mi seh irie, everything gonna be alright, Even when the darkness trying to swallow the light, If one hand reach down and another reach back, We can build up the future where the world lost track. VERSE 3 Mi come from the struggle where the lessons get deep, Where the wolves stay awake while the innocent sleep, But the lion don’t roar just to prove he is strong, Sometimes strength means knowing when the violence is wrong. Mi carry these words like a torch through the night, Every syllable spark, every punchline ignite, Earth is one table but we fight for a chair, Meanwhile there’s enough for everybody to share. Jah give us the breath, so we gotta give thanks, Not worship the money sitting high in the banks, Your soul ain’t a product, your heart ain’t a price, You can’t buy tomorrow when you sacrifice life. So raise up your hands if you feel what I say, Let the riddim wash the negativity away, One people, one planet, let the heartbeat speak— When the strong help the weak, that’s when mankind gets free. OUTRO Jah guide the journey… One love to the people… From the islands to the whole world… SILL-E — we rise together.
