So much pain
We dont know how to be but angry
Feel infected like weve got gangrene
Please dont let anybody try to change meMe, just me, in the middle of a sea full of faces
Full of faces, some laugh, some salivate
Whats in your alleyway
Recycling bins or bullet cases?Its not equal, its not fair
Were different people but we're not scared
We aint never scared to pave a new path
Make a new street, build a new bridgeSay, can you see by the dawns early light?
Free slaves running, songs words werent right
Now, a new days coming
The few stay stunning while the many are handsome
Your soul is alive but they want it for ransomThe bass drumming is the anthem
We step to the heartbeats
Of our granddaughters and grandsons
AndRise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we riseTogether we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we riseLost 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 ceaseDont 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 continentsRise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we riseRise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we rise
Together we rise, together we riseIf you believe in redemption
(Rise, rise)
Im calling to you from another dimension
(Rise, rise)If you believe in redemption
(Rise, rise)
Im calling to you from another dimension
(Rise, rise)If you believe in redemption
(Rise, rise)
Im calling to you from another dimension
(Rise, rise)If you believe in redemption
(Rise, rise)
Im calling to you from another dimension
(Rise, rise)
