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