sandra st. victor - rise lyrics

and up a rickety stair she wonders
why if at all she should care
and with her pay for the week already gone
what can she say but where
her keys get stuck, ain’t it just her luck?
the walls keep closing in
and there her son with innocent eyes
she’ll never quit, she knows she’s got to rise

[chorus]
rise up, rise up, rise up (she knows she’s got to)
rise up, rise up, rise up (c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)

ain’t mr. washington bad?
howard made man al the top of his class
with seven years on the job day in and out you’d really think
he’d break that ceiling of glass
oh no, not now, not here
sometime maybe next year
let the clock strike five
now he’s really alive
he’ll do his own thang
finally, maybe he’ll rise

[chorus]
rise up, rise up, rise up (he’ll do his own thang)
rise up, rise up, rise up (finally maybe he’ll rise)
rise up, rise up, rise up (you know you can)
rise up, rise up, rise up (and on a personal note)
i remember the day i met him
handsome solid as stone
loved the conversation
especially the private part
’bout how well he could bone
born on the sign of aries the ram
i knew this brother could slam
but silky smooth sweet nothings became nothing but lies
’cause back at home, boyfriend could not rise!
