about

The 2nd track on Rise Above, featuring a chill acoustic hip-hop rock groove and a message of encouragement for social change and peaceful living.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Give it to my people ‘cause I know that they be rising above
To our creator giving life under the sky above
To our surprise we hold the key and that be setting us free
For all with ears to hear the truth is yours if you believe
Born into a world with all the suffering supporting the greed
And honest people getting robbed by the people they feed
Tell me, what does it take to turn the tides and rid us all of their lies?
Realize this world is ours, someday we’ll hold the prize

Chorus:
Listen close your mind to come at ease
Open up inside to come at peace
Chen it all boils down the last shall be the first
When it all boils down in time we all will learn

Verse 2:
Give it to my people ‘cause I know that they be rising above
To our creator giving life under the sky above
Peace to the mothers giving their children all their love and their time
Peace to the fathers working endlessly so the family can get by
Living in a world where we waste, pollute, and still ask for more
Conscious people planting trees but they are ignored
Tell me what does it take to set it straight and start over again
Before it’s too late, I know it’s possible my friend
