Rise Like the Sun
Jungle, 1990s underground rave, Amen break chopped and frantically rolling, heavy dub reggae bassline slamming on the offbeat, dub siren wailing through the mix, atmospheric reverb caves, dark melodic synth stabs, bass-heavy low-end pressure, raw underground urgency, frantic breakbeat rush — female vocalist delivering powerful Jamaican patois singing and toasting, warm contralto with raw conviction, melodic lines rooted in roots reggae tradition, vocal phrases riding the breaks like water over rocks, themes of strength and survival, dancehall-influenced melodic lift on the chorus, organic and unpolished, underground not commercial, jungle rave energy, female vocalist, female vocals, powerful female voice

Lyrics
(Inna di jungle we rise)
(Fire pon di riddim tonight)
Di morning come but di struggle nah done
Pickney dem hungry, tek dem to di sun
Babylon a press but wi nah run away
Wi plant wi seed and wi come fi stay
Rockstone pon di road can't break wi will
River run deep past di valley and hill
Empress rise up, hold di ting strong
Wi been here before and wi here fi long
Rise like di sun pon a new day
Nuh let di rain wash wi joy away
Strength inna di blood, fire inna di soul
Jungle a pound and di riddim take hold
Rise like di sun — can't dim dis light
Empress inna di dance burning bright
Rise — rise — rise like di sun
Dem say wi down but wi standing tall
No wall dem build that wi cyaan break fall
From Kingston streets to di cold concrete
Wi carry di heartbeat under wi feet
Roots and culture run through wi vein
Lightning strike but wi nah complain
Every trial is a step on di way
Every night must give birth to di day
Rise like di sun pon a new day
Nuh let di rain wash wi joy away
Strength inna di blood, fire inna di soul
Jungle a pound and di riddim take hold
Rise like di sun — can't dim dis light
Empress inna di dance burning bright
Rise — rise — rise like di sun
(Empress)
(Rise up)
(Di jungle call)
Dem never know di road wi walk
Di silence in between di talk
But wi nuh bow, wi nuh break, wi nuh fall
Wi answer every time di riddim call
Rise like di sun pon a new day
Nuh let di rain wash wi joy away
Strength inna di blood, fire inna di soul
Jungle a pound and di riddim take hold
Rise like di sun — can't dim dis light
Empress inna di dance burning bright
Rise — rise — rise like di sun
(Inna di jungle we rise...)
(Fire pon di riddim...)
(Rise...)
