Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Listen

Do you really think I'm gonna stay silent?

All this blood and crimes, now who's violent?

It's a genocide, they tried to divide, to put us aside

You should have known we are resilient

[Verse 2]

I'm talking about the nation of the wisdom

The real first ones to be here (The first)

The history books are dumb (Indeed)

And same for the ones next year (Respectfully)

Boarding schools were there to save us (Murderers)

Now we find dead kids in the ground (That's fact)

Oh, you shared that in you story uh?

Well, we still find dead kids in the ground

[Verse 3]

Bloody, bloody Canada

Tell me how many more secrets do you hide? (A lot)

Pretty, pretty Kanata

Tell me how you can proudly look at this flag uh? (I can not)

[Verse 4]

Now it's so cool to be angry nowadays

It's on my feed but for how more, many days?

'Cause you can't win if you just fight for a phase

And we must win for the next kids to be raised

All this bloodshed on the CV of the land

And the Natives got no justice but we stand

Politicians and governments tryna rent

Now it's land back every new day until the end

[Verse 5]

Every time I feel this trauma

I hear the drums and the voices getting louder

I know it's the call from my powerful ancestors

And every time they tell me

[Verse 6]

I must stand up

We must stand up

I must stand up

You must stand, and every time they tell me

I must stand up (Uh, yeah, uh, yeah)

We must stand up (Yeah, we must, yeah, I must)

I must stand up (Uh, yeah, uh, yeah)

You must stand (Yeah, we must, yeah, skoden)

[Verse 7]

To this day we stand as a nation (We do)

Even though they keep stealing us (They do)

I'm tired of theses white politicians

Always looking for a way to buy us (Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh)

We ain't for sale, your plan will fail

Tell me how you're gonna put a spirit in a jail?

Not the end of a tale, we will prevail

You're looking like a dog who's tryna catch his own tail (You really do)

[Verse 8]

I'm talking about millions of deaths, uh

But why it's not written in this crap? (For what)

So, since they know about it

Why don't they educate about that? (For real)

They might have a reason then (Right)

They don't want woke citizens (Nah)

Fellow sheeps who keep it zen (Yeah)

Good, good Canadians

Nah, nah, never again (Never)

[Verse 9]

What about all these Native womens that are being kidnaped and killed uh? (Mmh)

What about all these communities that ain't got no water to drink uh? (Mmh)

What about the systemic racism that apparently don't exist uh? (Mmh)

What about the, what about the, what about

Canada never gave a shit

[Verse 10]

Every time I feel this trauma

I hear the drums and the voices getting louder

I know it's the call from my powerful ancestors

And every time they tell me

[Verse 11]

I must stand up (You feel the drum in you body?)

(That's the heartbeat of our ancestors) We must stand up

(They are with us, they always been and they'll always be) I must stand up

(So, if you allow yourself to connect to their souls) You must stand up

(You'll become unstoppable, and all they asking in return, is to fight)

[Verse 12]

I must stand up (You can be sure I will, you can be sure I will)

We must stand up

I must stand up (I must, we must, I must)

You must stand, and every time they tell me

I must stand up (Time, every, every, every time, every, every, every)

We must stand up (Time, every, every, every, time, every, every, every)

I must stand up (Time, every, every, every time, every, every, every)

You must stand (Time every every every time, every every every)

[Verse 13]

Time, every, every, every time, every, every, every

Time, every, every, every time, every, every, every

Stand up
