Rise

Shut them down, shut shut shut em down

We lost ourselves to the pressures
Played us like a puppet-show
Strapped to their belts for their pleasures
Pull the plug and wipe the floor

We know that when she runs you'll catch her, keep her locked away down low
We'll be taking measures, grab your scissors, cause were cutting ropes

Down with the hands of their Mothers
Down to their knees we'll find the snitch
Down find the fools, find the robbers
Who think they can own this bitch

No, this ain't your time
It ain't even mine
Women come together and rise damnit rise

Damn it, damn it, rise
Damn it, Damn it, rise

You listen to me
You listen well
The people have spoken and want to raise hell
Thought you could take everything from us?
Well, we're taking it back
Enough is enough

There's more at the table better move aside your chair
At least you could be able to make room and if you dare, to share with your sisters
We know you got enough to spare
So take a breath, catch some air, cause we've arrived, but don't despair
We don't want to take you down, just your disguise
It's not so rare to compromise
Could be allies, on the same side
Then all of us could rise

Shit's bout to change
Better learn to let go
We'll shake the house not the only one allowed to feel at home

So look around
You're not alone

Shit's bout to fall
Better hold on tight
Don't look down if you're at all afraid of heights

Cause were gonna rise

Don't trust your advice not anymore
You've caused
Too many fires
Your mouth's a vice
We can't afford

Won't be objectified
Bodies covered in mines
Not abiding by those eyes
You say a life for a life
That choice ain't yours

Shit's bout to change
Better learn to let go
We'll shake the house not the only one allowed to feel at home

So look around
You're not alone

Shit's bout to fall
Better hold on tight
Don't look down if you're at all afraid of heights
