<br>Baby lose that frying pan<br>You don`t live to feed that man<br>Nothing`s gained through self denial<br>`cause you weren`t born to be servile<br>Don`t you know you gotta<br>Rise (think about what you do now)<br>Rise (where do you belong)<br>Rise (are you somebody`s niggababe)<br>Rise (or does the fight go on)<br>Do you think the hurting is gonna go away<br>If you leave uprising for another day<br>Hey mister! Better teach your child to run<br>From all you name as just harmless fun<br>Do you show respect everywhere you go<br>Do you teach the young man how to treat your own<br>Don`t you know you gotta<br>Rise (think about what you do now)<br>Rise (how do you behave)<br>Rise (would you leave your children)<br>Rise (what you see today)<br>Freedom to the children of the world<br>Think about what you do now<br>Everything you see<br>Life ain`t living in a magazine<br>Life ain`t living<br>Sister! Why do you trade it in<br>For a diamond chip and a rabbit skin<br>His big red car is mite too fast<br>And it wasn`t built for the ride to last<br>Freedom to the slave of the slave<br>(and you know you are)
