(Bassline rolls in softly, accompanied by a slow rimshot)
Voice 1: "Coups are a violation of our democratic principles. They are unacceptable, outdated, and an obstacle to development."
Voice 2: "A soldier without any political or ideological education is a potential criminal."
(Horns swell, heavy reggae beat drops!)
Yeah, rise up, one love, listen to the truth now!
Put down the gun, serve the people today
Don't let the darkness cloud your way
We built this nation with sweat and pride
There’s no more room for the shadows to hide
Break the chains of the iron hand
Let peace flow across this blessed land
Oh, yeah, it’s time to stand up tall
Answer the righteous, freedom call
No to the coup, let the ballot speak loud
We are the voice, we are the crowd
Put down the gun, put down the blade
Respect the progress that we have made
Jah bless the soul of the one who knows
That love is the seed that the justice sows
No to the coup, let the ballot speak loud
We are the voice, we are the crowd
Why do you shatter the dream we built?
Trading our future for heavy guilt
A uniform doesn't make you the king
Listen to the song that the children sing
They want to learn, they want to grow
Not live in fear of the status quo
Easy now, brothers, put it aside
There is no strength in the power you hide
No to the coup, let the ballot speak loud
We are the voice, we are the crowd
Put down the gun, put down the blade
Respect the progress that we have made
Jah bless the soul of the one who knows
That love is the seed that the justice sows
No to the coup, let the ballot speak loud
We are the voice, we are the crowd
Unity is the key, progress is the way
Don't turn the light into a shades of gray
The people are awake, the spirit is strong
We know exactly where we belong
One love, one heart, one destiny
Fighting for a future that’s truly free
History watches the steps that you take
Choose not the path that leads to the break
Return to the barracks, honor the soul
Let the democracy take its control
We rise up higher, we rise up bold
More precious than silver, more precious than gold
Jah know the struggle, Jah know the fight
We’re turning the darkness into the light
No to the coup, let the ballot speak loud
We are the voice, we are the crowd
Put down the gun, put down the blade
Respect the progress that we have made
Jah bless the soul of the one who knows
That love is the seed that the justice sows
No to the coup, let the ballot speak loud
We are the voice, we are the crowd
Put down the gun, serve the people now
That is the promise, that is the vow
Rise up, rise up, let the freedom ring
One love, one people, everything
(Fade out with heavy horns and rolling bass)
