Gotta tell you somethin'
Can we meet up tonight?
Do you still remember
What we argued about? (Aha)
Do you see us for who we are?
I don't know, but maybe I'm blind (ooh, hoo, hoo)
I throw my hands right up in the sky
I wanna see this town come alive tonight
Gotta rise up now
Gotta speak out loud
Won't be treated like before
Gotta rise up now
Gotta speak your mind
'Cause we won't stand down no more
Oh, you better talk, you better walk, you better go

Let's face it, it all goes to what we do
(My community)
They call it humanity
But they don't know how to provide (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Oh, I throw my hands right up in the sky
'Cause I wanna see this town come alive
Gotta rise up now
Gotta speak out loud
Won't be treated like before
Gotta rise up now
Gotta speak your mind
'Cause we won't stand down no more
I don't see like before
It won't be like before
I won't stand down no more
Now it's time to unite
Who is wrong and who is right
It's a problem we can't disguise
