Transparent-C - Rise Lyrics

I gotta a few things to say
I may some lose people over this today
But I don't give a damn it needs to be said
About the b.s. that's happening today
I'm not afraid to speak my mind
My heart is not on the line
But I gotta step and be a man and defend the state of mind
I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough
Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough
We need to make some noise get up and stand up
We cannot hold back now
Take your power back now and just rise
Just rise
Just rise
We gotta just rise
I can't believe this happened
They overturn a decision that took the right away
For a woman to make a choice about her own body
How could somebody think they know what's good for somebody
Who the fuck are we to say what a woman can do with her body
As a man I try to understand but I can't understand
How they made that rule for everybody
It started out with vaccine mandates
Don't get me wrong I'm all for living healthy
But to force everybody to take it or break their of life
It's pretty shitty
They say they're pro-life and that's why the did it
But it's control yeah that's right mother fucker I said it
What it all comes down to is absolute power absolutely
But I'm gonna rise above it won't tear me down completely
I know it's hard but I invite you to join me too
So put your fist up in the air ladies I stand with you
I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough
Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough
We need to make some noise get up and stand up
We cannot hold back now
Take your power back now and just rise
Just rise
Just rise
We gotta just rise
Gun control is out of control
When we have mass shootings on the regular
Can't send the kids to school and have them feel safe
What the hell is wrong with us
Politicians rather keep their power and pockets aligned
But I think it's about time that power is overthrown this time
I don't care what you think about my words
I'm pissed off since the last one I heard
So many meaningless deaths of kids and adults
This country is so absurd
They rather sit in their rich and privileged bubble
Until the shit hits the fan and it's their family in trouble
What's wrong Uncle Sam
I'm tried of the thoughts and prayers
Get your ass up and make a change
It only takes one person to light a flame of change today
I know we're pissed off and upset
But use that as the fuel that fires your flames
So put your fist up in the air it's time for change
I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough
Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough
We need to make some noise get up and stand up
We cannot hold back now
Take your power back now and just rise
Just rise
Just rise
We gotta just rise
I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough
Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough
We need to make some noise get up and stand up
We cannot hold back now
Take your power back now and just rise
You think I forgot
(Yeah Black Lives Matter) Yea we still matter
Have you noticed the killers of mass shootings are arrested
Yet we are still tested for Door Dash driving we're killed in the cold
It's not subsiding I'm still labeled as an angry black man
Cause I'm 6'2 with dark skin 280 pounds and I'm a threat to a few
Already a suspect to a few
Already guilty by my peers by the way I looked at a few
What am I supposed to do
But I won't live my life in fear I will always do what I'm called to do
I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough
Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough
We need to make some noise get up and stand up
We cannot hold back now
Take your power back now and just rise
Just rise
Just rise
We gotta just rise
I know it's lookin bad and it's getting real tough
Losing your rights left and right it's gettin' rough
We need to make some noise get up and stand up
We cannot hold back now
Take your power back now
Take your power back now

I gotta a few things to say
