If they violate your rights and freedom

Stand up

Cause they never had the right to beat em

Stand up

Cause they throw us in the cells and cages

Stand up

If you wanna see some help and changes

Stand up

If they violate your rights and freedom

Stand up

Cause they never had the right to beat em

Stand up

Cause they throw us in the cells and cages

Stand up

If you wanna see some help and changes

Stand up

God bless the child that can hold his own

I think militant, looking like a soldier's clone

I got a team on my side but I rose alone

I got a gang that can ride but I hold my own

If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything

Stay away from the clowns and the negative energy

Got my feet to the ground ain't no way to pretend to be

Got my fist to the cloud I'mma make em remember me

Stand up

If they violate your rights and freedom

Stand up

Cause they never had the right to beat em

Stand up

Cause they throw us in the cells and cages

Stand up

If you wanna see some help and changes

Stand up

If they violate your rights and freedom

Stand up

Cause they never had the right to beat em

Stand up

Cause they throw us in the cells and cages

Stand up

If you wanna see some help and changes

Stand up

It's not a red vs blue thing

It's not a me vs you thing

It's a lie vs truth thing

Look into my eyes what do you see

I see a man, see a man, see a man that'll stand for change

A hundred yards from the target with fearless range

They call the cops when I walk inside my building now

I've been around for a while and it's clearly strange

I'm saying hands up don't shoot

Cell phone in my hand so they still shoot

In a better neighborhood they probably won't shoot

But make excuses for them people what I won't do

Stand up

If they violate your rights and freedom

Stand up

Cause they never had the right to beat em

Stand up

Cause they throw us in the cells and cages

Stand up

If you wanna see some help and changes

Stand up

If they violate your rights and freedom

Stand up

Cause they never had the right to beat em

Stand up

Cause they throw us in the cells and cages

Stand up

If you wanna see some help and changes

Stand up
