09. Get up ! (Prod by Eva - Studio Barka)
(Lyrics)

[Intro]
Yeah ! Martial Pa’nucci Mwana Mayi !
Yoka ! It goes like this ! Zwaaaa Raaahhhhh !

[Refrain]
Stand up !
Freedom is up for grabs, it is not negotiable
Stand up !
No one will change the Congo for us
Get up !
It's time to stand up and fight for your rights
Get up !
Freedom is up for grabs, it is not negotiable
Stand up ! Get up ! Stand up !
Get up ! Stand up ! Get up ! Stand up ! Get up !
Stand up ! Stand up ! Stand up ! Stand up !


[Verse 1]
No one can change your life
As long as you don't fight
Everything is built on movement
Even nature shows us the way
No change comes from stagnation

Even stars are born and go out
Symbol and synonym of alternation
But tell me why we should be silent
Or suffer in silence when
Ministers remain in posts for life

Question your life
Break the muzzle
Let's engage in civic engagement
To avoid being electoral cattle
the caravan will pass by even if you grumble

It's time for action
So there's no need for division
In the face of tyranny, we'll remain resistance fighters
There's no reason for us to sit back
While dictatorship violates our rights

The country is dying
And its gravediggers lie as they look at us
Right in the eyes
That astonishes even God in heaven !

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
Fake democrats
Transform themselves into men of peace
Pretend peace, we all know it's fake
The country is full of people who swim in fakery

Pretence of peace
Pretend citizens
Pretense of complaint
Pretend support (huh)

Pretending to resist
Pretense of Institutions
Pretense of life
Pretence of progress

Pretend democracy
Pretend elections
Pretend voting
Pretence of opposition

In the end, repression wins out
While the media remain muzzled
We break down the doors of the forbidden
If you want freedom stand up
Don't wait for it to be brought to you

As true as it is that ‘‘only the struggle liberates’’
Realistic we remain, we won't all go to the slaughterhouse
With or without escort
If you want freedom stand up
Don't wait for it to be brought to you (twice)

[Refrain]
