Rise up, rise up, rise up
Don’t crawl on your knees
You not a slave to them, you are free
They will put you down to make you feel small
If you different from them in any shape or form
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
There is hate in their mind
They are not colour blind
No, no, they are not colour blind
Feel the negative vibe
Feel the negative vibe
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Come on rise up
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Feel it, unite, unite
To fight off their hate
Life is too short, it’s never too late
How many times can you hold out your hand
As they turn away and deny your rights as a man
Deny your rights
Deny your rights as a man
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
One voice, one voice, yeah
To shout in their ears
We’re all the same, there’s nothing to fear
Their blood is red just like yours and mine
Discrimination since the beginning of time
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Feel their power
Feel the negative vibe
One voice, one voice
To shout in their ears
We’re all the same, there’s nothing to fear
Their blood is red just like yours and mine
Discrimination since the beginning of time
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Sit down, sit down
This is my dream
Sit in a tent under an olive tree
With all the tribes all united as one
All sitting together under the rising sun
All sitting together under the rising sun
Then feel the positive vibe
Be united as one world tribe
Then feel the positive vibe
All united as one world tribe
Then feel the positive vibe
No, no, no more negative vibe
United as a one world tribe
No, no, no negative vibe
United as one world tribe
Yeah, yeah, feel the positive vibe
United as one world tribe
With no need for war
No need for hate
Feel the negative vibe
Coz you’re from a different tribe
Rise up!
