Im wit you but for real she said they hopeless, a class full of jokesters Creatin all the obstacles, to focus Little barely read, tryna give em what they need And they dont even try, one boy, he caught her eye Cuz he looked like her brother, she be havin to call his mother But she act like she care, Where He aint here Now she frustrated, thinkin that she made the mistake of her life Underpaid, be to waitress at night Six of college down the drain Drinking, tryna drown the Party with her girls, feelin for the world Cuz aint no for the youth Well, aint that the When all your role models either or they hoop, damn
(Chorus) Rise above, rise You got to Rise above, rise
