Rise Above

Silence won't suffocate us We claim the air we breathe Y'all keep wanting to pull us down Steal our voices like thieves But there is a beauty In what has come before Those who fought the battles So we could win the war I won't compromise No one can steal my light Away from me I rise above There is no fear (Only freedom) In what we don't know The past has played (Still we remain) We know we come from another place Another time When darkness comes truth will shine Oh but I won't compromise No one can steal my light away from me I'm going to shine I am a revolutionary I rise above I rise above
