| 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, |
