Raise up, raise up
Raise up raise up
I said soldiers raise up, I said infants stand up
I said load up shot, protect yo’ culture
Don’t be a coward, raise up
Build a tower, raise up
I don’t care what the fuck they did to you, Still I rise
Like Maya Angelou said, you may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust I rise
Too much pain, ain’t time to cry
Blacks are afraid to make sometin?, hardly
Lets build sometin, like Marcus Garvey
Let’s heal our woman so they can fight too, ‘member what Tupac said
But I ain’t tryin to take two in the head an’ be dead
But if that so happens, then so that happens
Still raisin the army
Fight the depression, fight the poverty
Fight the aggression, fight the anger
Gain some possession, Jesus manger
Hold the most beauty in the strangest places
I won’t be beset wit gloom, ratha face that doom
Maya, jus like hopes springing high, still I rise
Let’s rise to the cause, rise ‘till we reach God
Raise up, raise up
Raise up raise up
I said soldiers raise up, I said infants stand up
I said load up shot, protect yo’ culture
Don’t be a coward, raise up
Build a tower, raise up
Let’s not even stick to the culture
Nigga black, brown, blue, pink, anywho
Yellow asian, beauty, ugly, cracka white man
I don’t give a damn, let’s just spread the divine grace across the lands
I’m sick of the youth listenin to bullshit, bein transpired by wackass materialistic things
How you get yo’ moms outta the project by sellin poisonous things?
Build the community, plant a seed, let ya knowledge blossom
Not the otha way around like Indians Columbus raped an’ slaughtered
Yo raise up, Malcom, Colin, Maya, y’all caused my inspiration to arise
What, does this come as a surprise?
That a young black man speaks like diamond’s in his wise
Wise as a noun, cus the power of ICBM’s control his mind
I had a dream, I had a dream
That 6 billion people could walk across the ocean holdin’ God’s hands
As we perpetuate to bring beauty through out the lands
Raise up, raise up
Raise up raise up
I said soldiers raise up, I said infants stand up
I said load up shot, protect yo’ culture
Don’t be a coward, raise up
Build a tower, raise up
Let the gats bleed, let the cops take a knee
You jus stole from my damn family tree
Anguish Adam and Eve had to go through to create a kinship
Yeah you so thug, but you can’t be loyal for a friendship?
Yeah you hard stuff, but much of yo’ fam is sufferin
You bluffin, you ain’t real, you just could mack an’ steal
You ain’t down fo’ the cause, you just selfish
You don’t have love, you just helpless
Now stand cowards, stand
Raise up, raise up
Raise up raise up
I said soldiers raise up, I said infants stand up
I said load up shot, protect yo’ culture
Don’t be a coward, raise up
Build a tower, raise up
Children, adolescent, adult, senior
I could gives a fuck less
Just raise up, raise up
I said raise up, raise up
Raise up, raise up
