Stand

Goapele - Stand Lyrics

Catch me if you canUnderstand it's a new dayLife is real, but we still gotta get paidTake it back to the simple thingsLike level out the fucked up bullshit gamesStand up to a man, yes I can take my placeDon't let that chessmate fool yaPut your picture in a frameIt's time to step into this double dutch gameJust stand up for somethingDon't fall back for nothingIf we don't stand for somethingWe'll fall for anythingLife is passing by and it's not gonna sit rightWhen you witness the truth but then believe the liesI'm a mama, freedom fighter, I'm a queenBut if I don't speak up then tell me what it meansAnd while justice keeps on fading awayGreed and fear keep on making mistakesPolice against the citizens, the troops against the youthAnd what amount is legal—tell me what we're gonna doJust stand up for somethingDon't fall back for nothingIf we don't stand for somethingWe'll fall for anythingJust stand up for somethingDon't fall back for nothingIf we don't stand for somethingWe'll fall for anythingDream makers, heart breakersFreedom fighters, not you hatersTrue believers, motivatorsTo rise up nowYeah there's a new day right outside your doorIf you open it you'll see what's in storeYeah there's a new day right outside your doorIf you open it you'll see what's in storeJust stand up for somethingDon't fall back for nothingIf we don't stand for somethingWe'll fall for anythingJust stand up for somethingDon't fall back for nothingIf we don't stand for somethingWe'll fall for anything
