Rise Above

[Hook]
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
I just hope that you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
I just hope that you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
I just hope that you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
All those problems you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love

[Verse 1]
Imma tell you about the gyal Marianne
Age 13 she was linking man
She loves shoes and bare name brand
Had fake hair and had fake tan
Mother and father don't give a damn
Sent her to country, live with her nan
All on road, where she loves to hang
Ain't got a future, ain't got a plan
Then it gets sad
She had a yute that ain't got a dad
Look how quick she turned to a slag
She looks ran through, oh what a hag
Looked at the sky and she asked, "Why?"
Whole heap of water fall from her eye
Why her pickney won't stop cry?
She just feels like she wants to die

[Hook]
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
I just hope that you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
All those problems you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love

[Verse 2]
Imma tell you about the guy named George
Whole heap of problems he used to cause
Punch up people, kick down doors
He did business, didn't care 'bout laws
He used to thief and rob from stores
Stabbed up people, didn't even pause
Had one strap that he kept indoors
Screw up his face and take what's yours
Didn't think twice, now he's in jail serving life
Can't see his children can't see his wife
He can't smile 'cah he know it ain't nice
Everyting done, ain't getting out till he's 51
He can't smoke and he can't bun
Nowhere to run when justice come

[Hook]
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
I just hope that you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
All those problems you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love

[Verse 3]
We all make mistakes
Don't make your life turn to a waste
Don't roll round with a gun in your waist
Don't bring your family shame and disgrace
Life in jail, that's a serious ting
Can't drop soap on badman's wing
Man all hang themself with string
Screw lick your head till your ears start ring
Hey dere girl, don't follow dem and act like Skatell
One bag a man will make your life hell
I just hope that it all goes well
Act like a princess, act like a queen
Don't make a nightmare out of a dream
Learn how to cook, gotta learn how to clean
Gotta stay fresh, have good hygiene

[Hook]
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
I just hope that you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love
You need a hug, sometimes water's thicker than blood
All those problems you rise above
Meet someone then you fall in love
