Intro 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 
Ooh, ooh, ooh 

Verse 1 
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 (Single mothers)
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
