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?

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

We'll meditate communicate, escalate
Don't be late, we just can't wait
To liberate this human race

Go!

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
