Rise (Radio Edit) Lyrics

I gotta a few things to say

I may some lose people over this today

But I don't give a damn it needs to be said

About the b.s. that's happening today

I'm not afraid to speak my mind

My heart is not on the line

But I gotta step and be a man and defend the state of mind

I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough

Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough

We need to make some noise get up and stand up

We cannot hold back now

Take your power back now and just rise

Just rise

Just rise

We gotta just rise

I can't believe this happened

They overturn a decision that took away a right

For a woman to make a choice about her own body

How could somebody think they know what's good for somebody

Who the **** are we to say what a woman can do with her body

As a man I try to understand but I can't understand

How they made that rule for everybody

It started out with vaccine mandates

Don't get me wrong I'm all for living healthy

But to force everybody to take it or break their of life

It's pretty ******

They say they're pro-life and that's why the did it

But it's control yeah that's right ****** I said it

What it all comes down to is absolute power absolutely

But I'm gonna rise above it won't tear me down completely

I know it's hard but I invite you to join me too

So put your fist up in the air ladies I stand with you

I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough

Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough

We need to make some noise get up and stand up

We cannot hold back now

Take your power back now and just rise

Just rise

Just rise

We gotta just rise

Gun control is out of control

When we have mass shootings on the regular

Can't send the kids to school and have them feel safe

What the hell is wrong with us

Politicians rather keep their power and pockets aligned

But I think it's about time that power is overthrown this time

I don't care what you think about my words

I'm pissed off since the last one I heard

So many meaningless deaths of kids and adults

This country is so absurd

They rather sit in their rich and privileged bubble

Until the **** hits the fan and it's their family in trouble

What's wrong Uncle Sam

I'm tried of the thoughts and prayers

Get your *** up and make a change

It only takes one person to light a flame of change today

I know we're pissed off and upset

But use that as the fuel that fires your flames

So put your fist up in the air it's time for change

I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough

Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough

We need to make some noise get up and stand up

We cannot hold back now

Take your power back now and just rise

Just rise

Just rise

We gotta just rise

I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough

Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough

We need to make some noise get up and stand up

We cannot hold back now

Take your power back now and just rise

You think I forgot

(Yeah Black Lives Matter) Yea we still matter

Have you noticed the killers of mass shootings are arrested

Yet we are still tested for Door Dash driving we're killed in the cold

It's not subsiding I'm still labeled as an angry black man

Cause I'm 6'2 with dark skin 280 pounds and I'm a threat to a few

Already a suspect to a few

Already guilty by my peers by the way I looked at a few

What am I supposed to do

But I won't live my life in fear I will always do what I'm called to do

I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough

Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough

We need to make some noise get up and stand up

We cannot hold back now

Take your power back now and just rise

Just rise

Just rise

We gotta just rise

I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough

Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough

We need to make some noise get up and stand up

We cannot hold back now

Take your power back now

Take your power back now
