Rise (Album Version)

Rise - Bad Brains

Did you ever question

Any of the things

They taught you while you were at school

And did you ever question

Oh my teacher

Why do you take me for a fool

Rise up you got to rise

Rise up wake up and rise

Rise up you got to rise

Rise up wake up and rise

When you're all alone

You'll search for love

But they'll have none

This is the seed that they have sewn

Don't be afraid a better place has yet to come

And when they won't teach or reach or feed you

And all they do is leave you deceive you

Be true to yourself

And save your mind

Lesson for the young

So now let's fly away

Into the light of a brand new sun

The time has come

Rise up you got to rise

Rise up wake up and rise

Rise up you got to rise

Rise up wake up and rise

We'll meditate communicate escalate

Don't be late we just can't wait

To liberate this human race

Go

Rise up you got to rise

Rise up wake up and rise

Rise up you got to rise

Rise up wake up and rise

Wake up and rise come on

Don't let them

Don't let them take away your culture

Don't let them

Don't let them take away your future

Rise up you got to rise

Don't let them

Don't let them take away your culture

Don't let them

Don't let them take away your future

Rise up
