rise

Lyrics

baby loose that frying pan, you don't live to feed that man, nothing's gained through self-denial, 'cos you weren't born to be servile, don't you know you've gotta, rise - think about what you do now, where do you belong, are you somebody's niggababe, or does the fight go on, do you think the hurting is gonna go away, if you leave uprising for another day, hey mister! better teach your child to run, from all you name as just harmless fun, do you show respect everywhere you go, do you teach the young man how to treat your own, don't you know you've gotta, rise - think about what you do now, how do you behave, would you leave your children, what you see today, freedom to the children of the world, think about what you do now, everything you see, life ain't living in a magazine, life ain't living, sister! why do you trade it in, for a diamond chip and a rabbit skin, his big red car is a mote too fast, and it wasn't built for the ride to last, freedom to the slave of the slave,
