Lyrics
We gon' rise, we gon take
we gon shine, we won't break
We gon' cry, but we gon shake
We won't die, they gon hate
We gon' rise, we gon take
we gon shine, we won't break
We gon' cry, but we gon shake
We won't die, they gon hate
Verse 1) I'm not trying be pretentious, But this right here's a message
They'll try to shoot me, so salute me when you receive the lesson
They still think we're not nothing, til we give them something
And we're the reason why the whole world is jumping
They love what we do for them, but hate that we exist
They want us dead or somewhere stranded in an abyss
Then they want to take our culture from us, saying that they made it
The fact that they'll do so much to us just show that we're the greatest
Let's start off with the crack epidemic many were affected
Who would've thought it would get worse when Clinton was elected
They used us as lab rats and took out a whole city
There's a reason we can't trust nobody when it's silly
They took Dr. Martin, and they took out Malcolm X
George Stinny, Trayvonne Martin, I'm scared who else is next
They want us eradicated and they still will try
But as long as we stick together we're still gonna rise
We gon' rise, we gon take
we gon shine, we won't break
We gon' cry, but we gon shake
We won't die, they gon hate
We gon' rise, we gon take
we gon shine, we won't break
We gon' cry, but we gon shake
We won't die, they gon hate
I love everybody, but I gotta rep for my people
Cause once upon a time we weren't considered people
Their actions were so deadly man, those punishments were lethal
Here we in 24 still making sure we're equal
They make us seem like we're crazy or trying to play the victim
But just think about the facts we've been fighting against the system
They want us to hate each other, men, women, and babies
It's sad that it's working, don't you find it crazy
That they see us as their biggest threat, maybe cause we're stronger
They said our culture is a fad it won't be here much longer
Now look at us thriving and changing the whole world
Bringing all colors together every boy, every girl
Are starting to stand by us, and some wants to sabotage us
That won't stop nothing cause if anything we got us
My fist in the air and middle finger to others
I'm young, black, and great, so are the rest of my sisters and brothers
