Rise (Extended Version)

[Verse 1]
We all need to (Look at history)
What we'll find is (It's repeating, uh-huh)
It won't change 'til (We all come together)
Tell the truth now (Look, it's in the mirror)

[Refrain]
It looks as though all hope is lost (In the world today)
We're all trying to find that light (To make it a better place)
We've got to show them what it means to live in (Peace and harmony)
Where I'm a part of you, my brother, and you are a part of me
You're a part of me

[Chorus]
Together, said that we gon' (Rise to the top)
All my people singin', we gon' (Risе to the top)
Everybody, we gon' (Risе to the top)
Oh-oh, we gon' rise (Oh, we gon' rise) I said to the top
Ayy, yeah, oh, yes, man

[Verse 2]
(I said it feels) Feels like somehow (I lived this life before)
(Check through the books) Check the books and
(My ancestors went through way more)
We might have to (Fight technology)
Or we will end up (Back in slavery)

[Refrain]
It looks as though all hope is lost (In the world today)
Oh, we're all trying to find that light (To make it a better place)
We've got to show them what it means to live in (Peace and harmony)
Where I'm a part of you, my brother, you are a part of me

[Chorus]
Hand in hand, we're together, we gon' (Rise to the top)
All my people singing, we gon' (Rise to the top)
All across the world, we gon' (Rise to the top)
Ah, oh, we gon' rise (Oh, we gon' rise) I said to the top
Hand in hand, said that we gon' (Rise to the top)
All my people singin', we're gonna (Rise to the top)
All across the world now, we gon' (Rise to the top)
You better believe this that we gon' rise (Oh, we gon' rise to the top)

[Post-Chorus]
Said we gon' (Rise to the top)
(We gon' rise to the top)
Scream it from the top of your lungs, said that
(We gon' rise to the top)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, we gon' rise (Oh, we gon' rise to the top), yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Rise people, rise
All my people, we got to rise
Everybody say, "Rise, people, rise"
I said all my people (All my people, we've got to rise)
We've got to rise, singin'
(Rise, people, rise)
I said all my people (All my people, we've got to rise)
(Rise, people, rise)
All my people, say (All my people, we've got to rise), ayy, yeah
We gon' rise, we gon' rise
