Bad Brains - Rise lyrics

Did you ever question Any of the things They taught you while you were at school And did you ever question Oh my teacher Why do you take me for a fool? Chorus: Rise up, you got to rise Rise up, wake up and rise When you're all alone You'll search for love But they'll have none This is the seed that they have sewn Don't be afraid a better place has yet to come And when they won't teach or reach or feed you And all they do is leave you deceive you

Be true to yourself And save your mind Lesson for the young So now let's fly away Into the light of a brand new sun The time has come Chorus We'll meditate communicate, escalate Don't be late, we just can't wait To liberate this human race Go! Chorus Don't let them Don't let them take away your culture Don't let them Don't let them take away your future Rise up, you got to rise
