Rise above rise above
And you've got to
Rise above rise above
She had a little daughter with her it was cold out
She said ah I hate this motherf**ker then she rolled out
He ain't answering his phone she yells what the f**k
Then told her daughter buckle up yeah that's for safety
See she been stressing lately
'Cause this ni**a she done been with for the past two years
Is now the current reason for her last few tears
She text he don't text back
When she see him she be tryna sex he don't sex back
His heart be on jet black
She call he don't call back all he say is fall back
A ni**a just need his space so she headed to his place
Cause she just got a call from her homegirl Rhonda
Who said he been creeping he been f**king with Yolanda
Yolanda Yeah girl Yolanda
Told you he ain't sh*t but you ain't listen I was tryna
Click hmmm
Hung up that phone and hopped right up in that Honda
Headed to his crib she said she fed up with this sh*t
Thought this time this was the one
Thought I got better at this sh*t
Picking out Mr Right stick it out through the fights
And long nights for what These niggas is all alike
She gon' set it off
Her daughter gon' witness it all tonight damn
Rise above rise above
And you've got to
Rise above rise above
She said she just finished school
Could barely pay tuition
Now she teaches 7th grade
Tryna make a difference
Aye but the kids frustrate her
Say that they don't listen
A a** like that how the f**k they supposed to pay attention
I'm f**king with you but for real
She say they hopeless
A class full of jokesters creating all the obstacles
Impossible to focus
Little niggas barely read
Tryna give them what they need
And they don't even try one little boy he caught her eye
'Cause he look just like her brother she be having to call his mother
But she act like she don't care what father He ain't here
Now she frustrated
Thinking that she just made the mistake of her life
Underpaid be having to waitress at night
Six years of college down the drain drinking tryna drown her pain
Party with her girls feeling sorry for the world
'Cause ain't no hope for the youth
Well ain't that the truth
When all your role models either rapping or they hoop damn
Rise above rise above
And you've got to
Rise above rise above
You've got to
Rise
Rise Above - Coldworld
