| [00:00.00] | Rise above, rise above |
| [00:04.61] | And you’ve got to |
| [00:05.97] | Rise above, rise above |
| [00:11.59] | She had a little daughter with her, it was cold out |
| [00:14.22] | She said “ah, I hate this ************,” then she rolled out |
| [00:16.88] | He ain’t answering his phone, she yells “what the ****?!” |
| [00:19.74] | Then told her daughter “buckle up, yeah, that’s for safety” |
| [00:22.16] | See she been stressin’ lately |
| [00:23.43] | ‘Cause this ***** she done been with for the past two years |
| [00:26.06] | Is now the current reason for her last few tears |
| [00:29.40] | She text, he don’t text back |
| [00:31.16] | When she see him she be tryna ***, he don’t *** back |
| [00:34.17] | His heart be on jet black |
| [00:35.46] | She call, he don’t call back, all he say is “fall back” |
| [00:38.53] | A ***** just need his space, so she headed to his place |
| [00:41.42] | Cause she just got a call from her homegirl Rhonda |
| [00:44.31] | Who said he been creepin’, he been ******’ with Yolanda |
| [00:47.30] | “Yolanda? Yeah girl, Yolanda” |
| [00:49.58] | “Told you he ain’t **** but you ain’t listen, I was tryna” – |
| [00:52.56] | “Click” – hmmm, hung up that phone and hopped right up in that Honda |
| [00:56.25] | Headed to his crib, she said she fed up with this **** |
| [00:59.12] | “Thought this time this was the one, thought I got better at this ****” |
| [01:02.01] | “Pickin’ out Mr. Right, stick it out through the fights” |
| [01:04.99] | “And long nights, for what? These ****** is all alike” |
| [01:07.79] | She gon’ set it off, her daughter gon’ witness it all tonight, damn |
| [01:11.41] | Rise above, rise above |
| [01:15.88] | And you’ve got to |
| [01:16.96] | Rise above, rise above |
| [01:21.54] | She said she just finished school, could barely pay tuition |
| [01:24.81] | Now she teaches 7th grade, tryna make a difference |
| [01:27.80] | Aye, but the kids frustrate her, say that they don’t listen |
| [01:30.52] | A ass like that, how the **** they supposed to pay attention? |
| [01:33.48] | I’m ******’ with you, but for real, she say they hopeless |
| [01:36.39] | A class full of jokesters, creating all the obstacles, impossible to focus |
| [01:40.64] | Little ****** barely read, tryna give them what they need |
| [01:43.63] | And they don’t even try, one little boy, he caught her eye |
| [01:46.40] | ‘Cause he look just like her brother, she be havin’ to call his mother |
| [01:49.38] | But she act like she don’t care – what father? He ain’t here |
| [01:52.41] | Now she frustrated, thinkin’ that she just made the mistake of her life |
| [01:56.04] | Underpaid, be havin’ to waitress at night |
| [01:58.20] | Six years of college down the drain, drinkin’, tryna drown her pain |
| [02:01.57] | Party with her girls, feeling sorry for the world |
| [02:04.20] | ‘Cause ain’t no hope for the youth, well ain’t that the truth |
| [02:07.16] | When all your role models either rappin’ or they hoop, damn |
| [02:10.54] | Rise above, rise above |
| [02:14.85] | And you’ve got to |
| [02:16.33] | Rise above, rise above |
| [02:29.21] |
