Rise Up!

**Rise Up** is the seventh of the thirteen songs in Season 9: Hunted, and the second of the three songs featured in the episode, The Weakest Link. It plays when the Alicorn princesses, the Ninja and Wu were practicing how to use a chain harpoon to stop Iron Baron's clutches.

A reprise of this song is also featured in School Raze: Lessons of Friendship. It plays in the flashback where Twilight Sparkle tries to use magic to hatch an egg, in order to pass an entrance exam.

## Lyrics

**Twilight Sparkle**: Hey, it's true, no stoppin' now

You're facin' a big test

So much to do, so much to learn

So bring it, be your best

Feeling doubts, forgetting facts

Won't get you to the top

If you're gonna make it

You got to pull out all the stops

You've got to rise up to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

Rise up to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

The hard part is getting goin'

To get your mind on track

Put aside all those distractions

'Cause there's no turnin' back

But you know it just gets better

When you see the end in sight

Take it on, start going strong

You can get it right!

**Alicorns and Ninja**: You can get it right!

You've got to rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

Rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

You've got to rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

Rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

Flash by flash, card by card

Rememberin' all that you know

Put yourself through all the paces

Take a seat, it's time to show

Step by step, start it small

Look how much you can grow

Now you're lookin' at all aces

Take a seat, it's time to show

*Wu*: Alright it’s time to get the Dragon Armor, once and for all!

**Alicorns and Ninja**: You've got to rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class (gotta rise up!)

Rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class (gotta rise up!)

Rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

And you know you can make it

You know what you've got

You've got to rise up!

## Reprise

**Mane Six**: You've got to rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

Rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

You've got to rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

Rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

(Instrumental Break)

You've got to rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class (gotta rise up!)

Rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class (gotta rise up!)

Rise up (up!) to the top of the class

Go straight to the top of the class

And you know you can make it

You know what you've got

You've got to rise up!
