[Intro]
Now everybody, throw your hands up high
If you don't give a [F], throw your hands up high!
[Hook]
To give 'em my full attention, ten-hut! Man, I gotta get my wind up
Man, I gotta get down with God cause I got my sins up
There's a new king on the throne, now I throw my cup up
Read the lyrics, and EVERYONE THROW THEIR [MF]ing HANDS UP!
[Verse One]
If you're a broken son, or if you ever seen ya mother cry, (THROW YA HANDS UP HIGH!)
If the last thing ya heard was a blood battle cry, (THROW YA HANDS UP HIGH!)
When ya see a brother die or painful tears sting ya eyes, (THROW YA HANDS UP HIGH!)
Fire burning inside my eyes, this the music that saved my life
Y'all be calling it hip-hop, I be calling it hypnotize
Yeah, hypnotize, trapped my body but freed my mind
These are the lyrics that made a blind man see
These are the lyrics that set a broken man free
If you're sprawled up and going through tough times (THROW YA HANDS UP HIGH!)
If you have cuts on your thighs, (THROW YA HANDS UP HIGH!)
[Hook]
[Verse Two]
Martin Luther is in my eyes, this be the shot that changed lives
He's still alive, behind yellow tape and colored lines
This be the man that the white man came to despise
But everyone put ya [MF]ing hands up and Rise!
Just ask Mandela how far we slaves have come
Just count heads and the water fountain and get you some
Could you do that 50 years ago? No I don't think so.
This is for the homies that actually read about this turbulent flow
This is for the homies that actually see this rapper glow
This is for the homies that actually hear this raven crow
If you actually one of the homies (THROW YA HANDS UP HIGH!)
[Hook]
