(Verse) She had her little daughter er, it was cold out She said aight I hate motherfucker then she rode out He aint answering his phone, she what the fuck? told her daughter buckle up, yea thats for safety See she been lately cuz this nigga she done been with for the past 2 years Is now the reason for her last few tears She text, he dont text When she see him she be tryina sex, he sex back Its hard to be on jet She call, he dont back All he say is fall just need his space, so she headed to his place Cuz she just got a call from her home windin Who say he be creepin, he been with Yolanda Yea girl, Yolanda Told you he aint shit but you listen, I was tryna (click) Hmm, hung up that phone and hop right up in that Headed to his crib, she said she fed up with shit Thought time this was the one Thought I got better at this Picking out Mr. Right, sticking out the fights And long nights for what? This is all a lie She gon set it off, her gon witness it all tonight, damn
(Chorus) above, rise above You got to Rise above, above
(Verse) She said she just finish school, could pay tuition Now she 7 grade, tryna make a difference Aye but the kids frustrated, if they dont listen A ass that, how the fuck they spposed to pay attention? Im fuckin wit you but for real she said they hopeless, a full of jokesters Creatin all the obstacles, to focus Little niggas barely read, tryna give em they need And they dont try, one little boy, he caught her eye Cuz he looked just her brother, she be havin to call his mother But she act she dont care, Where father? He here Now she frustrated, that she just made the mistake of her life Underpaid, be to waitress at night Six of college down the drain Drinking, drown the pain with her girls, feelin sorry for the world Cuz aint no hope for the Well, aint that the When all your role either rappin or they hoop, damn
(Chorus) Rise above, above You got to above, rise above
(Outro) We got to
