For we have given all that we have

And it's still not enough

Hold up wait a minute hold up wait a minute

There's something I'd like to say here mhm

Don't pretend that you ain't in it

'Cause lord knows we're winnin'

You've all got a part to play yeah

They want us in our position

I got a proposition

Don't turn and look away nah mhm

You're awake but are you woke

Actin' like this life's a joke

All laughs but you ain't playin' though

This ain't a run-through yeah

This ain't no reel yeah

You're slow to love yeah

But quick to kill yeah

Let's learn to teach just need to feel yeah

Not trying to preach just bein' real yeah

We will rise we will rise with the fire

In our eyes yeah yeah yeah oh oh

With no hate in our hearts

And the future in our minds yeah yeah yeah oh oh

No answers with our questions no question's been forgiven

'Cause everybody knows it surprise us if we livin'

We will rise we will rise with the fire

In our eyes yeah yeah yeah

Now that I got your attention

We can all feel the tensions

I got something to say here oh oh oh

This theme is so absurd

We've got the letters not the words

Every day a new parade yeah

We can hold our signs we can shake our fists

But we're not allowed to speak how can we resist

We've all heard the rumours

We're the product we're the losers

I'm not tryna preach but

I won't be a consumist

We will rise we will rise with the fire

In our eyes yeah yeah yeah oh oh

With no hate in our hearts

And the future in our minds

Yeah yeah yeah oh oh

No answers with our questions

No question's been forgiven

'Cause everybody knows it surprise us

If we livin'

We will rise we will rise with the fire

In our eyes yeah yeah yeah

Hands in the air like

We tryna give some praise yeah yeah yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

All we need is to believe

That we'll be saved yeah yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I don't believe we can't fight

What we face yeah yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Everybody needs a little hope

When they're awake yeah yeah yeah yeah

We will rise we will rise with the fire

In our eyes yeah yeah yeah oh oh

With no hate in our hearts

And the future in our minds yeah yeah yeah oh oh

No answers with our questions no question's been forgiven

'Cause everybody knows it surprise us

If we livin'

We will rise we will rise with the fire

In our eyes yeah yeah yeah
