Lyrics Stand Proud - Unified Highway, Shana Halligan, Keznamdi

Stand Proud

Don’t speak nothing more to say
No one listen anyway
Is that how we are going to play
All where we stand on
Notice these messages especially
No one was all we ever need
Is that we were meant to be
All where we stand on
How can we fight for peace
We are the enemies
We’ve lost our dignity
Stand up and stand proud
We only know from greve
Nobody wants to see
We need to learn to say stand up
And stand proud
Alright too much dutty politicians deh out a road
Wah mama have to go work and leave her kids at home
Several times a week she just a try to make ends meet
Have to grind it out cause you know the pickney have to eat
Father locked up so you know help is obsolete
System set him up and now he is a product of the streets
Brother tells his community that gets no help
From those who claiming they help people in need
News flash and nothing is different
We have corporation making money over prisons
I’ll be dissing governments and it’s only minimal
Of all those money it’s time to get rid of them
Incorporation and it’s all from the system
They should know they should know now we mad at them
How many more will they lock up the poor
Or money for foreign investors to store
No more
Don’t speak nothing more to say
No one listen anyway
Is that how we are going to play
All where we stand on
Notice these messages especially
No one was all we ever need
Is that we were meant to be
All where we stand on
How can we fight for peace
We are the enemies
We’ve lost our dignity
Stand up and stand proud
We only know from greve
Nobody wants to see
We need to learn to say stand up
And stand proud
Yea yea yea yea yow yow
We nah go sit in quiet
All you fi take a riot
We just a blaze the fire red
Revolution take me higher
Oh yes this world is cold
Or they don’t see our soul
The half has not been told
Full time we take control
Get up and stand up and
Fight and fight
And get up for your rights
We standing up tall
And divided we fall
Time for we to unite
We all need a semblance
Whether we black or we white
Get together organize
It is time to centralize
Oh don’t tell me you trying
To tell me what it is like
Riots in the streets and
The fires at night
I see a reason to get up up and fight
It’s a fucked up city in a fucked up time
We are in a system corrupted by greve
Farms in the lands and they lead by leaves
Big politicians and they speak on behalf of me
And they claim that they come from the streets
Don’t speak nothing more to say
No one listen anyway
Is that how we are going to play
All where we stand on
Notice these messages especially
No one was all we ever need
Is that we were meant to be
All where we stand on
