Ne Yo - Rise Up Lyrics

"Rise Up" lyrics Ne-Yo Lyrics "Rise Up"
(from "Step Up 3" soundtrack)

The time is now
Rise up
You feel like I feel?
Rise up

What's that in the air?
Is it the sound of sirens?
Ain't I'm supposed to feel safe?
Tell me why then do I
Feel like runnin' n' hidin?

Tired of names on a T-Shirt
Tired of my momma cryin'
Tired of the powers that be
Be the powers that be
That be doin' all the lyin'

N' I been tryin' to keep it calm,
I be tryin' to keep it calm
But because of my race
And the skin on my face
Everybody wanna do me harm

But still I be tryna keep it calm
I be tryna keep it calm
Another black man dead
I woke up this mornin' wishin' I could drop a bomb

Rise up from the ashes
Rise up from the pain
Rise up from the system
We helped build but don't treat us the same

Rise up for my brother
Rise up for her name
If you feel like I feel
And you think it's time to see change
Rise up

We gonna make it
You know I got you got me
We gonna make it
And if they won't give
Then we gotta take it
I said if they won't give
Then we gotta rise up

Liberty in justice
Money n' the power?
I got a question
Where the hell is ours?
You don't wanna give us none
So we take your food n' devour
You don't wanna hear my voice
So I guess I gotta speak a lil' louder

Rise up from the ashes
Rise up from the pain
Rise up from the system
We helped build but don't treat us the same

Rise up for my brother
Rise up for her name
If you feel like I feel
And you think it's time to see change
Rise up

We gonna make it
You know I got you got me
We gonna make it
And if they won't give
Then we gotta take it
I said if they won't give
Then we gotta rise up

Rise up from the ashes
Rise up from the pain
Rise up from the system
We helped build but don't treat us the same

Rise up for my brother
Rise up for her name
If you feel like I feel
And you think it's time to see change
Rise up

If you feel like I feel
And you think it's time to see change
Rise up
