[Verse] 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! When they can't do it themselves! [Chorus] We are tired of your abuse Try to stop us it's no use [Verse] Society's 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 I find satisfaction In what they lack [Chorus] [Verse] 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! [Chorus] [Outro] Rise above Rise above Rise above We're gonna rise above We're gonna rise above We're gonna rise above
