The song is very similar in style to Tom Morello's work with Rage Against the Machine.

Speaking in March 2010 to noted UK urban writer Pete Lewis - Deputy Editor of the award-winning Blues & Soul - Cypress Hill emcee B-Real explained how the song 'Rise Up' became the title track to its accompanying album: "Sen Dog and myself had been working on the album for quite some time.

And we got to a point where we were like 'Maybe we should call Tom Morello to see if he'd be interested in taking a listen to this album and perhaps contributing to it'... And so fortunately Tom - who's a friend of ours - listened, liked what he heard - and ended up giving us a great TRACK!

This is followed by a scene featuring a girl sitting down with a gas mask on watching several televisions.

At the end it shows the band playing on top of giant lettering stating the song's name in front of various fans.
