Bad Brains - Rise

Did you ever question any of the things
They taught you while you were at school?
And did you ever question, "Oh, my teacher
Why do you take me for a fool?"

Rise up
You've got to rise
Rise up you
Wake up and rise

Rise up
You've got to rise
Rise up you
Wake up and rise

When you're all alone
You'll search for love but they'll have none
This is the seed that they have sown
Don't be afraid, a better place has yet to come

And when they won't teach or reach or feed ya
And all they do is leave you, deceive you
Be true to yourself and save your mind
Lesson for the young
So now let's fly away
Into the light of a brand new sun
Woah, the time has come!

Rise up
You've got to rise
Rise up you
Wake up and rise

Rise up
You've got to rise
Rise up you
Wake up and rise

We'll meditate, communicate, escalate
Don't be late, we just can't wait
To liberate this human race
Go!

Rise up
You've got to rise
Rise up you
Wake up and rise

Rise up
You've got to rise
Rise up you
Wake up and rise
Wake up and rise
C'mon!

Don't let them
Don't let them take away your culture
Don't let them
Don't let them take away your future
Rise up
You've got to rise

Don't let them
Don't let them take away your culture
Don't let them
Don't let them take away your future
Rise up!
