SWEETBACK
- You Will Rise Lyrics / with translationsOoohhhhhh....
Yeah, yeah
I gotta a story that must be heard,
About a little girl who wished she was a bird.
She was unhappy livin' in a ghetto cage,
But it gave her hope when her sweet grandma would say:
[Baby, you will rise.]
...Rise!
[Limit is the skies.]
...The skies.
[Don't let no body fill your head with their lies.]
...Nobody...fill your head with lies.
[Baby, you will rise.]
...Rise
[Never compromise.]
...Compromise
[Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side.]
...Waitin’ for you....other side.
Yeah
She had a burnin' desire to go far,
And she had lively hopes of reaching every star.
One day she'd leave this place,
But never forget her fateful space.
And when she found her dreams,
She'd come back and proclaim!
Yeah...
[Baby, you will rise.]
[Limit is the skies.]
...The skies.
[Don't let no body fill your head with their lies.]
...Nobody...fill your head with lies.
[Baby, you will rise.]
...Rise
