RISE UP there is sadness in the world, that no one wants to seeWith Kids on the street crying with broken dreams, Cuz hope is a mystery just listen to meI've been to the other side it's not a place to beTears flow like a river, moving constantlyWith peoples Unknown mistaken identityPeople killed on the streets for their moneyIf we're all one people then who are weLook into their eyes, the kids of todayThey are the only ones that are here to stayDesperation, desecration, speculation correlationAll we know is hatred, why not try an see the affirmationtruth faith, aspiration, do it if we couldYet nobody helps us were all misunderstoodEveryone is different in their own kinda wayWe see the changes on each and every dayWe're not all the same, yet we play the same gameSome call it life, it's how we get our nameWhy can't we all be rich healthy and famousWe speak for the people who have betrayed usWe stand quietly waiting for the dayThat everyone accepts us for being okayWe may be silent but our hearts speak loudThis is an anthem listen to our sound Rise Up, and show them what your made ofHope, strength, faith, love, who we lost up aboveWe all stand strong united as oneJust normal kids who wanna have funYet we're forced to run, from the hand that feeds usWe're smarter than u think, you cannot deceive usWe all knows what pain isOn a real note This is the life we livegoing back in, to this catchy tuneIt makes us feel like we're going to the moonUp up and away that's what all the haters sayThey have the privilege to say and do what they mayBut don't let it hurt you, your the stronger humanWhat they don't show is that theres somethin there losinThey're minds their brains, they are going insane,They can't see the beauty behind the painNo fame no gain when we're always being put downHow do u think it feels to be put on the groundWe get up, we wipe the blood from our faceEven though we should've been put in our placeNow this is a shout out to all those strugglingFighting every day, with all the shit were takingNo it's not easy, no it's not rightBut when it's our time we won't go down without a fightRise Up, and show them what your made ofHope, strength, faith, love, who we lost up aboveWe all stand strong united as oneJust normal kids who wanna have funYet we're forced to run, from the hand that feeds usWe're smarter than u think, you cannot deceive usWe all knows what pain isOn a real note This is the life we live
