Stand - Goapele

Catch me if you can

Understand it’s a new day

Life is real, but we still gotta get paid

Take it back to the simple things

Like level out the fucked up bullshit games

Stand up to a man, yes I can take my place

Don’t let that chessmate fool ya

Put your picture in a frame

It’s time to step into this double dutch game

Just stand up for something

Don’t fall back for nothing

If we don’t stand for something

We’ll fall for anything

Life is passing by and it’s not gonna sit right

When you witness the truth but then believe the lies

I’m a mama, freedom fighter, I’m a queen

But if I don’t speak up then tell me what it means

And while justice keeps on fading away

Greed and fear keep on making mistakes

Police against the citizens, the troops against the youth

And what amount is legal—tell me what we’re gonna do

Just stand up for something

Don’t fall back for nothing

If we don’t stand for something

We’ll fall for anything

Just stand up for something

Don’t fall back for nothing

If we don’t stand for something

We’ll fall for anything

Dream makers, heart breakers

Freedom fighters, not you haters

True believers, motivators

To rise up now

Yeah there’s a new day right outside your door

If you open it you’ll see what’s in store

Yeah there’s a new day right outside your door

If you open it you’ll see what’s in store

Just stand up for something

Don’t fall back for nothing

If we don’t stand for something

We’ll fall for anything

Just stand up for something

Don’t fall back for nothing

If we don’t stand for something

We’ll fall for anything
