Rise Lyrics - Singles - Moyet Alison

Baby lose that frying pan 

You don't live to feed that man 

Nothing's gained through self denial 

'cause you weren't born to be servile 

Don't you know you gotta 

Rise (think about what you do now) 

Rise (where do you belong) 

Rise (are you somebody's niggababe) 

Rise (or does the fight go on) 

Do you think the hurting is gonna go away 

If you leave uprising for another day 

Hey mister! Better teach your child to run 

From all you name as just harmless fun 

Do you show respect everywhere you go 

Do you teach the young man how to treat your own 

Don't you know you gotta 

Rise (think about what you do now) 

Rise (how do you behave) 

Rise (would you leave your children) 

Rise (what you see today) 

Freedom to the children of the world 

Think about what you do now 

Everything you see 

Life ain't living in a magazine 

Life ain't living 

Sister! Why do you trade it in 

For a diamond chip and a rabbit skin 

His big red car is mite too fast 

And it wasn't built for the ride to last 

Freedom to the slave of the slave 

(and you know you are)
