Rise |
| So much pain, we |
| Don’t know how to be but angry |
| Feel infected, like we’ve got gangrene |
| Please don’t let anybody try to change me |
| Me, just me |
| In the middle of a sea full of faces, full of faces |
| Some laugh, some salivate |
| What’s in your alleyway, recycling bins or bullet cases? |
| It’s not equal, it’s not fair |
| We’re different people but we’re not scared |
| We ain’t never scared to pave a new path |
| Make a new street, build a new bridge |
| Say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, free slaves running? |
| Song’s words weren’t right, now a new day’s coming |
| The few stay stunnin' while the many are handsome |
| Your soul is alive, but they want it for ransom |
| The base drummin' is the anthem |
| We step to the heartbeats of our granddaughters and grandsons, and |
| Rise together |
| (We) rise together |
| (We) rise together |
| (We) rise together |
| (We) rise together |
| (We) rise together |
| (We) rise together |
| (We) rise together |
| Lost hope and found need |
| Grounded by our surroundings |
| Did the walls scream universities? |
| Or you and I verse the T’s? |
| React automatic and we burst when squeezed |
| And make 9/11 each emergency |
| Urgency, amber to red, like the turnin' leaves |
| Oh, please let the hurtin' cease |
| And don’t let apathy police the populace |
| We will march across |
| Those stereotypes that were marked for us |
| The answer’s obvious, we switch the consonants |
| And change the sword to words and lift continents |
| Rise together, we rise together |
| We rise together, we rise together |
| We rise together, we rise together |
| We rise together, we rise together |
| Rise together, we rise together |
| We rise together, we rise together |
| We rise together, we rise together |
| We rise together, we rise together |
| If you believe in redemption |
| I’m callin' to you from another dimension |
| If you believe in redemption |
| I’m callin' to you from another dimension |
| If you believe in redemption |
| I’m callin' to you from another dimension |
| If you believe in redemption |
| I’m callin' to you from another dimension |
