Rise (feat. Samm Henshaw)

Hold up, wait a minute

Hold up, wait a minute

There's something I'd like to say, yeah

Don't pretend that you ain't in it

'Cause Lord knows, we're in it

We've all got a part to play, yeah

They want us in our position

I got a proposition

Don't turn and look away, no

You're awake but are you woke?

Actin' like this life's a joke

All laughs, but you ain't brave, no

This ain't no run-through (Yeah)

This ain't no drill (Yeah)

You're slow to love (Yeah)

But quick to kill, yeah

Let's learn to teach

Just teach to feel, yeah

Not tryna preach

Just being real, yeah

We will rise, we will rise

With a fire in our eyes, yeah, yeah, yeah

With no hate in our hearts

And the future in our minds, yeah, yeah, yeah

No answers without questions

No question, we're forgiven

'Cause everybody knows

It's the price of simple livin'

We will rise, we will rise

With the fire in our eyes, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now that I've got your attention

We can all feel the tension

I got something to say, yeah

It's seeming so absurd

We got the letters, not the words

Everyday a new parade, yeah

We can hold our signs

We can shake our fists

If we're not allowed to speak

How can we resist?

We've all heard the rumors

We're the product, we're the losers

I'm not tryna preach

But I won't be your consumers

We will rise, we will rise

With the fire in our eyes, yeah, yeah, yeah

With no hate in our hearts

And the future in our minds, yeah, yeah, yeah

No answers without questions

No question, we're forgiven

'Cause everybody knows

It's the price of simple livin'

We will rise, we will rise

With the fire in our eyes, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hands raised high

Like we're tryna give some praise, yeah

All we need is to believe that we'll be saved

I don't believe we can't fight what we face

Everybody needs a little hope in their own way, yeah

We will rise, we will rise

With the fire in our eyes, yeah, yeah, yeah

With no hate in our hearts

And the future in our minds, yeah, yeah, yeah

No answers without questions

No question, we're forgiven

'Cause everybody knows

It's the price of simple livin'

We will rise, we will rise

With the fire in our eyes, yeah, yeah, yeah
