(Verse) She said she finish school, could barely pay tuition Now she teachin 7 grade, tryna a difference Aye but the kids frustrated, said if they listen A ass like that, how the they spposed to pay attention? Im fuckin wit you but for real she they hopeless, a class full of jokesters Creatin all the obstacles, impossible to Little niggas barely read, tryna give em they need And dont even try, one little boy, he caught her eye Cuz he looked just like her brother, she be havin to call his But she act she dont care, Where father? He aint Now she frustrated, thinkin she just made the mistake of her life Underpaid, be havin to at night Six years of down the drain Drinking, drown the pain Party her girls, feelin sorry for the world Cuz no hope for the youth Well, aint the truth? When all your role either rappin or they hoop, damn
(Chorus) above, rise above You got to Rise above, above
