Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Preacher man don't tell me
Every time we try go get back up
Somebody come try to tear us down
But this time when I get back up
We gon' fight back and stand our ground
We took too much
We seen enough
I know my rights
You cannot touch
There's no peace where there's no justice
Cuts too deep, can't stitch them up
Gotta let go
Hangin' on to pain
Struggle made us strong so we breakin' through the chains
Knew it wouldn't be long
'Til we see a change
Gotta be loud
So they hear us when we sang, yeah (stand up for your rights)
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights (taha haha)
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights (straight up)
You got the right to grab a light
Roll up and speak your mind
Gotta take care of your fam, I'm teachin' mine
Pullin' up, seat recline
Somedays I got a lot of things on my mind
But we stay in the fight
Struggle everyday to do what's right
It took patience for these situations I made it out of
Know I got a lot to go but still I see the progress
Plus, I know we survivors
Make the best out of a bad thing
You can bet
When they go right, we go left
Kush smoke in my chest, ten toes in each step
Taylor Gang what I rep
Boy don't play with us
Made it to the top
And that's exactly where the fuck we gon' stay
Stay the fuck out our way
And if you're down, you better
Get up, stand up (taha haha)
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up (ain't playin' no games, man)
Stand up for your rights
They never listen to us when we speak
But they gon' hear us when we raise hell
They taking brothers from our families
They either dead or they end up in jail
Give us no chance
This life is tough
We standin' strong
Ain't gon' give up
We gon' fight back
This ain't no bluff
We'll march all night
From dawn 'til dusk
Gotta let go
Hangin' on to pain
Struggle made us strong so we breakin' through the chains
Knew it wouldn't be long
'Til we see a change
Gotta be loud
So they hear us when we sang, yeah
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Always said do what you want
Stand up for your rights
There's some shit you should want to do
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights, be yourself, free yourself
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Preacher man don't tell me
