Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wanna listen to the radio, can't listen to the radio
'Cause radio don't play music anymore
I wanna turn on the evening news, I can't turn on the evening news, no
'Cause life ain't all about sex game, no and celebrity blues
Wanna take a joyride
Drop down to the countryside
CEOs are getting richer at the gas pump on my day
Look out my window, backstreets and alleyways
The men in blue may arrest the youth no matter they’re good
[Verse 2]
This is the State of the Union
This is the State of (Hey, I was born and rise up) the Union
Gonna rise up, rise up
This is the State of (Hey, I was born and rise up) the Union
Gonna rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
This is the State of the Union
[Verse 3]
Heard they burned a boy in Southern Florida
Over a civil game, will it ever be the same
And on the South Side, up in Chicago
I heard they beat a boy to death who meant no trouble
Assassination, I just don't understand
'Cause when you fight for peace that's when they gun you down
I'll rise for Lincoln, I'll rise for MLK
I'll rise for Lennon, I'll rise for the Kennedys
Stand for unity, equality, stand up to be free
This is the state of
[Verse 4]
This is the State of (Hey, I was born and rise up) the Union
Gonna rise up, rise up
This is the State of (Hey, I was born and rise up) the Union
Gonna rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
[Verse 5]
And on the South Side, up in Chicago
I heard they beat a boy to death who meant no trouble
Assassination, I just don't understand
'Cause when you fight for peace that's when they gun you down
[Verse 6]
This is the State of (Hey, I was born and rise up) the Union
Gonna rise up, rise up
This is the State of (Hey, I was born and rise up) the Union
Gonna rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
