[00:03.37]The time is now
[00:04.48]
[00:07.68]Rise up
[00:08.24]
[00:11.95]You feel like I feel
[00:13.07]
[00:14.46]Rise up
[00:15.04]
[00:16.78]What's that in the air
[00:17.88]
[00:18.49]Is it the sound of sirens
[00:19.97]
[00:20.52]Ain't I'm supposed to feel safe
[00:21.80]Tell me why then do I
[00:22.80]Feel like runnin' n' hidin
[00:23.95]
[00:24.48]Tired of names on a T-Shirt
[00:26.40]Tired of my momma cryin'
[00:28.37]Tired of the powers that be
[00:29.76]Be the powers that be
[00:30.74]That be doin' all the lyin'
[00:31.77]N' I been tryin' to keep it calm
[00:34.40]I be tryin' to keep it calm
[00:36.32]But because of my race
[00:37.30]And the skin on my face
[00:38.25]Everybody wanna do me harm
[00:39.70]But still I be tryna keep it calm
[00:41.98]
[00:42.51]I be tryna keep it calm
[00:44.10]Another black man dead
[00:45.20]I woke up this mornin' wishin' I could drop a bomb
[00:47.93]
[00:48.46]Rise up from the ashes
[00:50.48]Rise up from the pain
[00:51.95]
[00:52.45]Rise up from the system
[00:53.84]We helped build but don't treat us the same
[00:56.46]Rise up for my brother
[00:57.96]
[00:58.51]Rise up for her name
[00:59.92]
[01:00.51]If you feel like I feel
[01:01.70]And you think it's time to see change
[01:03.52]Rise up
[01:04.08]
[01:04.91]We gonna make it
[01:05.64]You know I got you got me
[01:06.97]We gonna make it
[01:07.63]And if they won't give
[01:08.72]Then we gotta take it
[01:09.71]I said if they won't give
[01:10.78]Then we gotta rise up
[01:12.08]
[01:12.93]We gonna make it
[01:13.68]You know I got you got me
[01:14.98]We gonna make it

[01:17.65]I said if they won't give
[01:18.74]Then we gotta rise up
[01:20.09]
[01:20.65]Liberty in justice
[01:21.68]
[01:22.48]Money n' the power
[01:23.62]
[01:24.57]I got a question
[01:25.75]
[01:26.53]Where the hell is ours
[01:27.60]
[01:28.46]You don't wanna give us none
[01:29.74]So we take your food n' devour
[01:31.54]
[01:32.54]You don't wanna hear my voice
[01:33.79]So I guess I gotta speak a lil' louder
[01:35.56]
[01:36.49]Rise up from the ashes
[01:38.48]Rise up from the pain
[01:39.98]
[01:40.50]Rise up from the system
[01:42.09]We helped build but don't treat us the same
