Rise Up

We must rise up
And they pray on our demise but
Rise Up
They play with our minds try to disintegrate us
You never conquer, you just cancer, you an imitator
I know my visions greater
My peace is my stimulator
My niece my defibrillator
Make a change and get the paper
My ancestors start spinnin inside their grave cuz
We’ve been blind forever now our souls cannot be saved
We were kings they made us slaves
They genocide us to our graves
I got rage inside my veins
Your pale face should be afraid
They tried to kill us off, eradicate our memory
Take our women and abolish us from history
My words are like a bomb threat, my peace we ain’t find yet
We were raised like dogs thats why we got slave mindsets
Go to work and obey them, get you a weekly check
And spend it all at their stores, now thats your weekly flex
How they sell us all this land but they ain’t own it first
We was kings, we was queens, we was chosen first
Rise up stand up rise up hands up rise up man up
Open your mind and your eyes up
Rise up stand up rise up hands up rise up man up
Open your mind and your eyes up
God has risen and livid because the children
We do more killing than headling
We glorify all the villians
We put power in them people
They use it for their evil
They tell us that we’re equal
Shit thats just another sequel
If we dont know our history, how could we ever change it
We were bred for greatness, we gotta escape the slaveship
Make the struggle make sense make the profit make flips
We ain’t cast a vote and now our president is racist
We fought their wars, they still treat us like we’re immigrants
They stole our culture, raped our women, took their innocence
Im not an activist really Im just passionate
To give you knowledge that my soul is in these passages
They fled us into poverty, they treat it like monopoly
Lets make them understand that we’re people not property
I place my heart over these instrumentals
Im preaching change but rockin chains, that shit is detrimental
They took our gold and then they turned it into currency
If we ain’t pray to their God it was a murder scene
We must take the power pack for their sacrifice
Black and brown royalty we got braggin rights
Kings and queens pick your head up pick your eyes up
Stand together through whatever, we must rise up
Rise up stand up rise up hands up rise up man up
Open your mind and your eyes up
Rise up
