Jealous cowards try to control
/7
They distort what we say
Try to stop what we do
/7
When they can't do it themselves
We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us, but it's no use
Society's arms think they're smart
I find satisfaction in what they're lacking 'cause
We are born with a chance
And I'm gonna have my chance
Rise above
Rise above Rise above
etc.
