Rise Up - Stand Tall
Why does the poor hate on those with a job?
It's the system that failed, can't you see the mob?
They burn down the buildings, block the streets with their pain
But come election time, they vote for the same
Oh, the struggle is real, and the fight is on
While the children are crying, the hope is nearly gone
Old folks lie hungry, dreams fade away
But the rich keep on smiling, living day by day
Desperation's a fire, it's burning inside
Single mothers crying, with nowhere to hide
No food on the table, no money in sight
But they hate on the employed, what's wrong with this fight?
Oh, the struggle is real, and the fight is on
While the children are crying, the hope is nearly gone
Old folks lie hungry, dreams fade away
But the rich keep on smiling, living day by day
Desperation's a fire, it's burning inside
Single mothers crying, with nowhere to hide
No food on the table, no money in sight
But they hate on the employed, what's wrong with this fight?
Oh, the struggle is real, and the fight is on
While the children are crying, the hope is nearly gone
Old folks lie hungry, dreams fade away
But the rich keep on smiling, living day by day
Desperation's a fire, it's burning inside
Single mothers crying, with nowhere to hide
No food on the table, no money in sight
But they hate on the employed, what's wrong with this fight?
We gotta rise up, stand tall, together as one
Break the chains of the system, let love be our gun
We're stronger united, can't let hate divide
For the sake of our children, let's turn the tide
Oh, the struggle is real, and the fight is on
While the children are crying, the hope is nearly gone
Old folks lie hungry, dreams fade away
But the rich keep on smiling, living day by day
So let's sing for the voiceless, let's lift up our song
In the heart of the struggle, we know we belong
Together we'll rise, let our spirits ignite
For a future of justice, we'll keep up the fight
It's the system that failed, can't you see the mob?
They burn down the buildings, block the streets with their pain
But come election time, they vote for the same
Oh, the struggle is real, and the fight is on
While the children are crying, the hope is nearly gone
Old folks lie hungry, dreams fade away
But the rich keep on smiling, living day by day
Desperation's a fire, it's burning inside
Single mothers crying, with nowhere to hide
No food on the table, no money in sight
But they hate on the employed, what's wrong with this fight?
Oh, the struggle is real, and the fight is on
While the children are crying, the hope is nearly gone
Old folks lie hungry, dreams fade away
But the rich keep on smiling, living day by day
Desperation's a fire, it's burning inside
Single mothers crying, with nowhere to hide
No food on the table, no money in sight
But they hate on the employed, what's wrong with this fight?
Oh, the struggle is real, and the fight is on
While the children are crying, the hope is nearly gone
Old folks lie hungry, dreams fade away
But the rich keep on smiling, living day by day
Desperation's a fire, it's burning inside
Single mothers crying, with nowhere to hide
No food on the table, no money in sight
But they hate on the employed, what's wrong with this fight?
We gotta rise up, stand tall, together as one
Break the chains of the system, let love be our gun
We're stronger united, can't let hate divide
For the sake of our children, let's turn the tide
Oh, the struggle is real, and the fight is on
While the children are crying, the hope is nearly gone
Old folks lie hungry, dreams fade away
But the rich keep on smiling, living day by day
So let's sing for the voiceless, let's lift up our song
In the heart of the struggle, we know we belong
Together we'll rise, let our spirits ignite
For a future of justice, we'll keep up the fight
