[Verse 1] They see me on the ITV News, talking bout the trouble, They paint a picture of a war zone, living in the rubble. Cyber attacks and disorder, yeah they talking on the screen, Trying to put us in a box, trying to kill the dream. But REAL BRITONS DON'T DIE! We multiply, getting so high, we touch the sky. From the housing estates, from the concrete floors, We opening doors, we settling scores. Against the stereotypes, against all the hate, They say we can't elevate, but we creating fate. Lenny Henry showed us laughter, Desmonds showed us love, The Real McCoy kept it real, now it’s time to rise up! "Get Up!" [Verse 2] They say we got an appetite for destruction? HELL NO! We got an appetite for CONSTRUCTION! Building up our community, teaching youth the way, Showing them the leaders from back in the day. From Birmingham soil, heroes stood tall, Fought for us all, answered the call. Now we standing on their shoulders, vision so clear, Removing all doubt, removing all the fear, yeah... You see us on the block, yeah we keeping order, Protecting our sisters, looking after our borders. No chaos, no madness, just strategic movement, Turning all the negative into pure improvement! "Stand Up!" [Chorus] [EXPLOSIVE Chorus] STRAIGHT OUTTA BIRMINGHAM! WHERE Only THE STRONG SURVIVE! O-1-2-1 Fight to STAY ALIVE! SHAKE OFF THE CHAINS! AND BREAK THE STEREOTYPE! WE RISING UP! LET'S TOUCH THE SKY! Real ninjas, YEAH WE NEVER DIE! REAL IS RARE! UP IN YOUR EYEs! UNITED WE STAND! DIVIDED WE FALL! BIRMINGHAM POWER! ANSWERING GODS CALL! [Verse 3] You used to say "Findum, Link Up & Flee", Now we say "FINDUM, TEACHUM & LEAD!" We don't run away, we face the storm We keeping our community warm and strong. Young brothers falling victim to the system? We catch them before they fall, that’s the mission. Cyber crime and violence, trying to take the youth, But we hitting them with facts, we hitting them with TRUTH! Look to the past, look to the history books, Black leaders from Brum, receiving dirty looks. To racism and hate, we say "GET OUT!" We turning this city inside out! "Black Power!" [Bridge] You see... They think we just "Niggaz" in their eyes? Nah... We are NATIONS WITH ATTITUDE! NATURAL WISE AFRICANS! NOBLE WARRIORS ALWAYS! Like the Real McCoy, we funny but smart, Like Lenny Henry, we sharp as a dart We can laugh, we can joke, but we serious too, When it comes to the future, we know what to do! "Everybody Rise!"
