Get Up Stand Up |
This song don’t give a damn |
If the rhymes don’t fit |
Beat don’t bounce |
If the dj quit |
This song |
Don’t give a damn |
If you can’t sing to dance to it |
Can’t romance to it |
This song ain’t arrogant |
If you don’t try it |
Buy it |
If your radio deny it |
Don’t care bout what who got |
What’s cool on tv |
Or what spots hot I forgot |
I ain’t mad at evolution |
But I stand for revolution |
Enough is enough |
Somebody stand up |
Get up, stand up, |
Get up, stand up |
This track ain’t asking you a damn thing |
Not the brand name bottle with your ch&agne |
Not where you land your private airplane |
How many blood diamonds shining in that chain? |
How much compromise is tied to that fame? |
How many more times we gotta hear that lame |
Line I’m inspiring them |
To do what? |
roll better weed and get higher than them? |
Feed the needy greedy ass fire in them? |
Be the same damn dog but to finer women? |
They gonna tell me that I’m preaching to the choir than I’m |
Sure they right but I’m trying to light a fire in them |
Cause I was raised by the enemy |
And ever since then thats been my identity |
So I’m trying to give back whats was given me |
Truth told delivery is my tendency |
Youth fold to the spirit of my energy |
Bottom of my feet is something that you’ll never see |
Thats cause I’m standing singing the anthem |
Fist on my hand, and a list of demands and |
When they hear this might piss in their pants and |
Try to get the children to not listen to the man |
But the mighty pe is what birthed ali |
So what you gonna think come after me? |
Chuck d |
Get up, stand up |
Occupy if you denied |
Protest songs cause I see wrong |
Most of my heroes still don’t appear on no st& |
So I rant even when they say I can’t |
I rise against |
Rage against |
Hope I don’t end up being the same thing I’m fighting against |
Hence |
I wince never on the fence |
Since they think the masses powerless |
Ain’t on no power list |
I ball my fist w my audience |
Like this |
Get up, stand up, |
Get up, stand up |
Got so much to shout about |
What the 1% is gettin out |
Recession depression desperation due |
Never have so many been screwed by so few |
Cheapest price is to pay attention |
No need to dumb down to what I mention |
No need to young down how I mention |
In spanish portuguese english french and |
No satisfaction |
Listen to the world reaction |
Americas still black and white |
Like an old tv set |
What we gonna do about it? |
Laugh sit back forget &quit? |
I get racial |
Just talkin about the ratio |
People are no longer patient |
Now the brown they don’t want around |
Thats why sammy got that facial |
My wife says its spacial |
Politics that stick way beyond baseball |
I think its self hateful |
Anti immigration |
Disgraceful |
Get up, stand up, |
