[Verse 1]
We the oppressed,
hands in the dust
Built from the pressure,
built from the rust
From the corporations,
grinding us down
From the elites,
wearing the crown
From the corruption,
sliding through veins
Taking the bread
and selling the pain
Like our forefathers
did before us
We learned the names
they tried to ignore us
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that rumble?
It’s waking the floor
Hear that rumble?
We’re coming for more
No more silence
No more lies
When we stand up,
watch the fire rise
[Chorus]
We rise up, rise up
We rise up
No more wars
No more hate
We rise up, rise up
We rise up
Break the chain
Change the fate (rise up)
[Verse 2]
Back of the bus,
front of the line
Told to stay quiet,
told to fall in time
But we got drums
in the chest tonight
Got a million fists
and a burning light
They feed on fear,
we feed on truth
They sell the old
to bury the youth
But every block
got a heartbeat now
Every lost voice
sings loud somehow
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that rumble?
It’s waking the floor
Hear that rumble?
We’re coming for more
No more silence
No more lies
When we stand up,
watch the fire rise
[Chorus]
We rise up, rise up
We rise up
No more wars
No more hate
We rise up, rise up
We rise up
Break the chain
Change the fate (rise up)
[Bridge]
Let the cold walls crack
Let the names come back
Let the poor one lead
Let the hungry have that
No more kings
No more cage
Just a future
we can make
[Final Chorus]
We rise up, rise up
We rise up
No more wars
No more hate
We rise up, rise up
We rise up
Break the chain
Change the fate (rise up)
We rise up, rise up
We rise up
We the oppressed
won’t wait
