So much pain we don't no how to be but angry.
Feel infected like we 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
So 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, so 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 words weren't right
Now a new day's coming.
The few stay stunning while the many are handsome.
Your soul is alive but they want it for ransom
The base drumming 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 we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise

Lost hope and found need, grounded by our surroundings.
Did the walls scream universities
Or you and I verse the tees?
React automatic and we burst when squeezed
And make 9-11 each emergency.. urgency
Amber to red like the turning leaves
Oh please let the hurting cease.
Don't let apathy police the populace!
We will march across
Those stereotypes that were marked for us.
The answers obvious, we switch the consonants
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 we rise

Rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise
Together we rise

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension
