Rise Up With The Facts

Intro

Yeah, listen up

Two voices, one truth

From the streets to history's booth

Verse

They call us dirty, say we ain't clean

Mock our accents, our clothes, our scene

Show India's dirt, only the grime

Ignoring the centuries of hygiene

Daily baths, Ayurveda's flow

Indus drainage, watch it go

Stepwells deep, sanitation advanced

Old colonial lies just a backward glance

Chorus

Rise up, fight back with the facts

We ain't the image your hate attacks

From wounds of the past to the present day

We stand proud, won't fade away

Verse

Kolhapuri chappals, Prada's new face

Indian artisans lost in the race

Yoga, spices, threads of gold

Five thousand years, our stories told

Mahmud razed temples, blood in the sand

Timur slaughtered, heavy hand

Mughal conquests, death's dark dance

History's pillage, not by chance

Chorus

Rise up, fight back with the facts

We ain't the image your hate attacks

From wounds of the past to the present day

We stand proud, won't fade away

Verse

European storms on coastal land

Portuguese, Dutch, blood stained sand

British Raj famine, millions gone

Great Bengal's cry still lives on

Jallianwala Bagh, bullets hail

Rebels burned, stories impale

Tharoor exposes colonial greed

Drained the wealth, planted the seed

Of death and despair, but still we breathe

Chorus

Rise up, fight back with the facts

We ain't the image your hate attacks

From wounds of the past to the present day

We stand proud, won't fade away

Verse

Slums in your lens, achievements out

Tech hubs spark, ISRO's shout

Moon and Mars missions take flight

Fifth largest economy, shining bright

Culture rich, diverse and vast

History's shadow, we outlast

Despite the hate, the theft, the pain

Indians rise, break every chain

Chorus

Rise up, fight back with the facts

We ain't the image your hate attacks

From wounds of the past to the present day

We stand proud, won't fade away

Outro

Two voices, united stand

Truth and pride across this land

From struggle's fire, we are born anew

Indian strength, shining through
