Rise Up (feat. Mic Flo & Nini)

For us to rise up, you got to wise up Don't let the world get you down, keep your eyes up For us to rise up, you got to wise up Don't let the world get you down, down, down It’s time to rise up, like a phoenix from the ashes Unite with every ally so we can lead the masses Try to mold us like clay, but we speaking like Cassius Power to the people, deleting any fascists Whether poor or person of color they seek to caste us Put up a fight guarantee the police blast us So, keep your Bible and heat beneath the mattress It’s time the system of the elite crashes Hit the reset button and reboot Damn, he had his back to him, why did he shoot? We been taking L’s but it’s time to recoup They been raping and killing, but judge when we loot Man, and that ain’t even us, it’s ANTIFA We just want respect and Franklin’s like Aretha “White Blessing” from the mouth of a preacher Make sure you got a shepherd, not a wolf as a teacher Rise Up, Don’t let 'em hold you down You’re a king go and get your crown and Rise Up, Don’t let 'em break your home You’re a queen go and get your throne and Rise Up, Don’t let 'em hold you down You’re a king go and get your crown Rise Up, Don’t let 'em break your home You’re a queen go and get your throne I’m tryna find peace in the midst of chaos Essential, but it’s essential that I get a day off The president ain’t presidential, his beliefs are way off Those that lead I plead they’re unemployed or laid off I’m showing what I’m made of, is that what they’re afraid of? I’m stunting like Vince Carter dunking while they are laid up The world is at its nadir, look around don’t need no data But that can’t dissuade you ‘cause the efforts needed’s major I’m trying reach greatness like SpaceX With great text over break beats that break necks Let’s take bets. Are we getting wise before the end of times? Or stick to acting out the lies that are in our minds Look to the skies put divineness within my lines While sipping wine, I feel the times they are sending signs My life’s work light work no more blind hoping When life’s worse I surf eyes wide open Rise Up, Don’t let 'em hold you down You’re a king go and get your crown and Rise Up, Don’t let 'em break your home You’re a queen go and get your throne and Rise Up, Don’t let 'em hold you down You’re a king go and get your crown Rise Up, Don’t let 'em break your home You’re a queen go and get your throne For us to rise up, we got to wise up Don't let the world get you down, keep your eyes up See to rise up, we got to wise up Don't let the world get you down, down, down
