Rise Up

[Verse] Concrete jungle, we fightin' through the struggle, Golden chains and diamond rings, but our folks still juggle, Streets be our cradle, the system like a fable, Blind eyes turn away from our unstable. [Chorus] They all pass us by, leave us in the street, Got mansions to retreat, outta sight, outta fleet, Need unity to breach, reach up, reach down, Together we can fix, flip the whole town around. [Verse 2] Rise like the sun, our time gotta come, Hand in hand we stand, hustle ain't the only run, From the gutter to the high rise, make our voices rise, Put the pieces back, no disguise, truth in our eyes. [Bridge] Whispers in the shadow, echoes in the smoke, Power in the people, we ain't no joke, Buildin' bridges, not walls, hear the freedom calls, Brick by brick, we defy all laws. [Verse 3] Dreams in our backpack, hope in our veins, Wash away the pain, break these heavy chains, Streetlights illuminate our path to reclaim, Lost in the shuffle, together we proclaim. [Chorus] They all pass us by, leave us in the street, Got mansions to retreat, outta sight, outta fleet, Need unity to breach, reach up, reach down, Together we can fix, flip the whole town around.
