Jealous cowards try to control

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

They distort what we say

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

Try and stop what we do

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

When they can't do it themselves

Rise above, we're gonna rise above



We are tired of your abuse

Try to stop us, it's no use



Societies arms of control

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

Think they're smart, can't think for themselves

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

Laugh at us behind our backs

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

I find satisfaction in what they lack

Rise above, we're gonna rise above



We are tired of your abuse

Try to stop us, but it's no use



We are tired of your abuse

Try to stop us, it's no use



We are born with a chance

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

I am gonna have my chance

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

We are born with a chance

Rise above, we're gonna rise above

And I am gonna have my chance

Rise above, we're gonna rise above



We are tired of your abuse

Try to stop us, it's no use



Rise above, rise above, rise above

We're gonna rise above

We're gonna rise above

We're gonna rise above
