Moyet Alison Rise Lyrics

Rise Lyrics

Baby lose that frying pan
You don't live to feed that man
Nothing's gained
through self denial
'cause you weren't born to be servile
Don't you know
you gotta
Rise (think about what you do now)
Rise (where do you
belong)
Rise (are you somebody's niggababe)
Rise (or does the fight go
on)
Do you think the hurting is gonna go away
If you leave uprising for
another day
Hey mister!  Better teach your child to run
From all you name
as just harmless fun
Do you show respect everywhere you go
Do you teach
the young man how to treat your own
Don't you know you gotta
Rise (think
about what you do now)
Rise (how do you behave)
Rise (would you leave
your children)
Rise (what you see today)
Freedom to the children of the
world
Think about what you do now
Everything you see
Life ain't living
in a magazine
Life ain't living
Sister!  Why do you trade it in
For a
diamond chip and a rabbit skin
His big red car is mite too fast
And it
wasn't built for the ride to last
Freedom to the slave of the slave
(and
you know you are)
