We gotta rise up

Gotta take a stand

We gotta rise up

We gotta rise up

Rise up for what’s right

 

We gotta protest

We gotta protest

We gotta protest

We gotta sing out

Fill the world with song

We gotta sing out

gotta fight what’s wrong

We gotta sing out

sing out for what’s right

 

We gotta boycott

Use our dollars for good

We gotta boycott

Won’t be misunderstood

We gotta boycott

Boycott for what’s right

 

We gotta stand up

for our fellow man

We gotta stand up

against this ban

We gotta stand up

We gotta raise hell

when it’s deserved

We gotta raise hell

can’t be reserved

We gotta raise hell

Raise hell for what’s right

 

We gotta speak up

when rights are infringed

We gotta speak up

when our leader’s unhinged

We gotta speak up

speak up for what’s right

 

We gonna rise up

Gonna take a stand

We gonna rise up

across the land

We gonna rise up

Rise up for what’s right

 

We gonna rise up

Gonna take a stand

We gonna rise up

across the land

We gonna rise up

Rise up for what’s right
