Yeah girl Yolanda! Told you he aintshit but you aint listen I was tryna, Click hmm!Hang up the phone then ha! right up in the honda,headed to his crib she said she fed up with this shit,thought this time this was the one, thought I got betterat this shit, pick it up mister write, stick it out throughthe fights, and long nights, for what these niggas is all alike,she gone set it off her daughter gone witness it all tonight, damn!ChorusRise above, Rise above, You got toRise above, Rise aboveVerse 2She say she just finished school could barely pay tuition,now she teaches second grade tryna make a difference,ey But the kids frustrate her say that they don't listen,a ass like that how the ***** they supposed to pay attention,I'm *****ing 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'em what they need, and they don't even try,one little boy he caught her eye, caused he looked just likeher brother, she'll be having to call his mother,but she act she don't care, where her father? he aint here,now she frustrated, thinking that she just made the mistakeof her life, underpaid be having a waitress at night,six years in college damn a drain, drink ittryna drown the pain, party with her girls, feeling sorryfor the world, cause aint no hope for the youth, well aintthat the truth? When all your role models either rapping or they hoop! Damn!ChorusRise above, Rise above, You got toRise above, Rise above, We got to
