RISE It’s time now Nah you can’t be silent can’t be quiet now Let that voice be heard baby don’t tone it down You know we got your back baby just turn around Verse 1 Man this here’s crazy Gettin' a clear pic of how the world treats our black babies Black mothers and Black fathers. They over do it we can’t take it Caught up in the same matrix. Being foul they all flagrant Let them boots hit the ground baby gotta hit the pavement Like look at how they did Trayvon Left George Floyd in the street heart losin' beats cryin' to his dead mom Philando got 7 shot times in the whip next to his kids' mom Sandra Bland for a lane change and the end result is the same thang Breonna Taylor in her own bed - Like what’s wrong man. I don’t get it They Tell us to be cautious. Use our Color as a target Man I’m tired a' all this nonsense. Man y’all gotta show its different You can’t say that we all equal when they disrespect our women. Send our sons and dads to prison A yo Listen We done lost way too many. Cried way too much And they don’t want us to retaliate but don’t wanna show us love So we march fight and we protest to relieve stress from our truth We ain’t goin back when we move. We gon’ pushin forward as a movement Chorus It’s time now No you can’t be silent can’t be quiet now Let that voice be heard baby don’t tone it down You know we got yo' back baby just turn around And we gon' celebrate soon as we live the Dream Treatin' every single day just like its Juneteenth Chest out lion hearted, what you frightened for? Never forget you deserve everything you're fighting for Verse 2 So we got street names, business names change, job fillers Notice holidays, but still ain’t found time to prosecute killers The whole system crooked You can get hit with a police bullet and barely get an apology Let alone some camaraderie from Government Prayers out George Floyd and his family Video footage of murder while he was saying that he couldn’t breathe Crazy how they tried to trip on Kap when took a knee But when they use excessive force they somehow get off Scott free, with paid leave!?! You know better then do better, it’s simple Control the mind control the masses, so they aiming at our mental This generation is different, we got choices, we Are changes Yeah they try to say we brainless - Doctors, Lawyers, Entertainers? They like Change is gonna come but I'm impatient G Said you gotta trust the process like Joel Embiid Our ancestors went through hell and what you tellin' me? Is that we gotta face the same? Nah let’s expedite that change RISE Chorus It’s time now No you can’t be silent can’t be quiet now Let that voice be heard baby don’t tone it down You know we got yo' back baby just turn around And we gon' celebrate soon as we live the Dream Treatin' every single day just like its Juneteenth Chest out lion hearted what you frightened for? Never forget you deserve everything you're fighting for Verse 3 Never take no for an answer. Push with a purpose. RISE Even when they try and down play you, know what your worth is. RISE Constantly pursuing better life and bigger movement No regrets, and show no remorse we tired of excuses. RISE This is next level Held us back for too long Need our cut like a bad lawn I promise they done stepped on the wrong land mine Got too many of us locked up for petty crimes Judges and the jury give em' max like it’s fed time I’m not lying Neighborhoods bad on the other side of that red line. RISE Ahmad Aubrey murdered by the cops is a clear sign. RISE Stephon Clark murdered by cops is a clear sign. STAND UP It’s like our death toll is on an incline. RISE It’s saddening Eric Gardner, Freddie Gray, Nah they ain’t comin back again This life is not a game but we have to win We restore the streets, buy em back, make em ours again Police the block. Protect our ladies and our gentlemen It’s time to RISE RISE
