She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
He was nameless, he was homeless
She asked him his name and told him what hers was
He gave her a story 'bout life
She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
He was nameless, he was homeless
She asked him his name and told him what hers was
He gave her a story 'bout life
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
One conversation, a simple moment
The things that change us if we notice
When we look up sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
They said I would never make it
But I was built to break the mold
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
[Chorus]
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
Young teachers, student doctors
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
You'll find that someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
On the run from a country where they put you in prison
For being a woman and speaking your mind
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
One conversation, a single moment
The things that change us if we notice
When we look up sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
They said I would never make it
But I was built to break the mold
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
[Chorus]
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
Young teachers, student doctors
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
You'll find that someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
Everybody rise up
You gonna rise up, ayy
[Chorus]
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
Single mothers waiting on a check to come (Say you're gonna make it)
Young teachers, student doctors (Yeah)
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
You'll find that someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Kráčala po ulici, vzhliadla a všimla si
Bol bezmenný, bez domova
Spýtala sa na jeho meno a povedala mu, čo je jej
Dal jej príbehový život
S žiarivým okom a kútikom úsmevu
Jedna konverzácia, jednoduchý okamih
Veci, ktoré nás zmenia, ak si to všimneme
Keď sa občas pozrieme hore
[Pre-Chorus]
Povedali, že to nikdy neurobím
Ale bol som postavený, aby prelomil pleseň
Jediný sen, ktorý som prenasledoval, je môj vlastný
[Chorus]
Takže spievam pieseň pre podvodníkov obchodujúcich na autobusovej zastávke
Slobodné matky čakajúce na kontrolu
Mladí učitelia, doktorandi
Synovia v prvej línii vedeli, že sa im nedarí utiecť
To ide k chudobným
Pokračujte v tom, čo máte radi
Zistíte, že jedného dňa dosť skoro
Vstaneš, vstaneš, áno
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verš 2]
Viezla sa v taxíku späť do kuchyne
Hovorí s vodičom záchvat jeho manželka a jeho deti
Na úteku z krajiny, kde ťa uväznili
Za to, že ste žena a hovoríte svojou mysľou
Pozrela sa mu do zrkadla v očiach a on sa usmial
Jedna konverzácia, jediný okamih
Veci, ktoré nás zmenia, ak si to všimneme
Keď sa občas pozrieme hore
[Pre-Chorus]
Povedali, že to nikdy neurobím
Ale bol som postavený, aby prelomil pleseň
Jediný sen, ktorý som prenasledoval, je môj vlastný
[Chorus]
Takže spievam pieseň pre podvodníkov obchodujúcich na autobusovej zastávke

Pokračujte v tom, čo máte radi
Zistíte, že jedného dňa dosť skoro
Vstaneš, vstaneš, áno
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Most]
Každý vstáva
Vstaneš, yyy
[Chorus]
Takže spievam pieseň pre podvodníkov obchodujúcich na autobusovej zastávke
Slobodné matky čakajúce na šek (povedzme, že to dokážete)
Mladí učitelia, doktorandi (Áno)
Synovia v prvej línii vedeli, že sa im nedarí utiecť
To ide k chudobným
Pokračujte v tom, čo máte radi
Zistíte, že jedného dňa dosť skoro
Vstaneš, vstaneš, áno
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
