Rise Up
Rise Up
Your time is up at 25
Till then you wear your youth with pride
From then, get set, you can't be late
Cause you ain't nothing, without a mate
Women are free that's what they say
But what we're told at the end of the day
Gotta tick that box, man, job, kids we made the cut
Can't go turning forty, on your own, stuck in a rut
We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall
Shout out for all we're worth
Cause we gotta long way to go and the road is slow
To gain equality on this earth
We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall
Cry out against our past
Cause we gotta hell of a fight to make things right
We gotta make the world unite
And take what's ours at last
Got that female power
For now we have it all
Just gotta slave all day all night
To prove that we can't fall
No longer chained to the kitchen stove
We're free at last, we made it
How come we feel on the edge of tears
Day by day, burned out and faded
Until we all wake up and see that things are far from fair
White men rule the world, and we're still judged by the colour of our hair
Just gotta even out the load, make sure that you do your part
Cause for this revolution, we need every heart
We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall
Shout out for all we're worth
Cause we gotta long way to go and the road is slow
To gain equality on this earth
We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall
Cry out against our past
Cause we gotta hell of a fight to make things right
We gotta make the world unite
And take what's ours at last
Your time is up at 25
Till then you wear your youth with pride
From then, get set, you can't be late
Cause you ain't nothing, without a mate
Women are free that's what they say
But what we're told at the end of the day
Gotta tick that box, man, job, kids we made the cut
Can't go turning forty, on your own, stuck in a rut
We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall
Shout out for all we're worth
Cause we gotta long way to go and the road is slow
To gain equality on this earth
We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall
Cry out against our past
Cause we gotta hell of a fight to make things right
We gotta make the world unite
And take what's ours at last
Got that female power
For now we have it all
Just gotta slave all day all night
To prove that we can't fall
No longer chained to the kitchen stove
We're free at last, we made it
How come we feel on the edge of tears
Day by day, burned out and faded
Until we all wake up and see that things are far from fair
White men rule the world, and we're still judged by the colour of our hair
Just gotta even out the load, make sure that you do your part
Cause for this revolution, we need every heart
We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall
Shout out for all we're worth
Cause we gotta long way to go and the road is slow
To gain equality on this earth
We gotta rise up, we gotta stand tall
Cry out against our past
Cause we gotta hell of a fight to make things right
We gotta make the world unite
And take what's ours at last
