Burkina Rise by 10000 Lions Ft Fikir Amlak

Here comes a powerful tune about the recent revolutionary movements in Burkina Faso - led by Ibrahim Traore!

Africa has long been looted and foreign powers have been extracting Africas resources for the longest time... NO MORE!

-

Many times i love to work with the singers and especially to come up with lyric topics & ideas.
For this tune I wanted to make something to support the movements in Burkina Faso while the topic is hot, so i contacted the lyrics master Fikir Amlak to make this happen!

Powerful music for powerful people!

BURKINA RISE! <3

LYRIX:

Burkina Rise (Traoré Chant)

Burkina rise, rise in I-sight
Traoré stand in the warrior light
Africa no more puppet string
Free land chant, hear the freedom ring
Burkina rise, rise with the flame
Gold and soil nah sell for shame
One by one the shackles break
Fire in the bush, whole earth shake

From Ouagadougou to the spirit drum,
Echo of Sankara rise and come.
They still try divide with foreign tongue
But the youth dem chant in ancestral hum.
Military boots with a conscious aim,
Not for greed, not for capital gain.
Traoré walk where the brave dem reign,
Inna lion courage, no colonial chain.
They’re vex 'cause the man don't bow,
Won't dance for IMF or NATO vow.
He speak for the land, defend right now,
While France and the allies raise eyebrow.
But tell dem Babylon time expired,
The African soul get re-inspired.
With the Sahel wind and a prophet fire,
We light the torch from the muck and mire.

Burkina rise, rise in I-sight
Traoré stand in the warrior light
Africa no more puppet string
Free land chant, hear the freedom ring
Burkina rise, rise with the flame
Gold and soil nah sell for shame
One by one dem shackles break
Fire in the bush, whole earth shake

UN dem vex 'cause he hold the ground,
While mercenary contracts a spin around.
Resources rich, but the people bound
Now the table flip and the truth resound
They cry dictator but nah check the plot,
Who fund the coups? Who set the rot?
Burkina tired of the global scam,
No more puppet dance for the oil man.
He call to Mali, to Guinea too,
Link the thread like Sankara knew.
Pan-African drum, let the signal move,
From the cocoa roots to the Nile groove.
They send threats but the hearts are firm,
Rooted deep like the baobab germ.
This is Africa turning tide,
Rising up with warrior pride.

Burkina rise, rise in I-sight
Traoré stand in the warrior light
Africa no more puppet string
Free land chant, hear the freedom ring
Burkina rise, rise with the flame
Gold and soil nah sell for shame
One by one dem shackles break
Fire in the bush, whole earth shake

Tell dem we know ‘bout the false alliance,
Aid with strings disguised compliance.
Africa nah beg Africa rise,
With the ancestors watching inna starry skies.
Traoré isn’t perfect, but his step is bold,
In a time when leaders sell out for gold.
He walk with the ancestors in his fold,
And the youth they hear what the elders told.
No more lies in the IMF loans,
No more bases with CIA drones.
The blood of the martyrs cry from bones,
Burkina Faso reclaim the throne.
Decolonize the mind and soul,
From borders drawn to the banker’s toll.
This chant is for the rebel role
Every lion who stand for the whole.

Burkina rise, rise in I-sight
Traoré stand in the warrior light
Africa no more puppet string
Free land chant, hear the freedom ring
Burkina rise, rise with the flame
Gold and soil nah sell for shame
One by one dem shackles break
Fire in the bush, whole earth shake
