Rise Lyrics - Bad Brains

Did you ever question any of the things 

They thought while you were at school? 

And did you ever question, "Oh my teacher 

Why do you take me for a fool?" 

Rise up, you got to rise up, 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 

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 

The time has come, rise up, you gotta rise up, 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 gotta rise up, wake up and rise 

Don't let them take away your culture 

Don't let them take away your future, rise up, you got to rise
