Stand Up

If you got the courage, the strength, will and endurance
To fight for what you believe in, stand up (stand up)
If you got the passion inside you that's everlasting
To guide you to what you're after, stand up (stand up)
All of this pressure, upon ya shoulder like a boulder
Though I know that you'll lift it and stand up (stand up)
All of this torture can burn and scorch ya if ya let it
If it hurts it's gone force ya to stand up (stand up)

I don't wanna justify my religion to those against me
It's the 21st century love is all that you get from me
My origin surely don't make a difference if you question me
Smell the roses homie you are the one who controls your destiny
Sister and brother, we all should matter to each other
I am you, You are me, Don't hate because of color
Don't hate because of Creed, Peace the only Belief
So Please, retract ya weapon Put your heart to the beat
My mission is end collision Resistant thru Pacifism
Imagine the world that Lennon envisioned when he was singing
Continue the Dream that Martin Luther King is still instilling
Feel it building from within him to change the world for our children
It ain't about my image when music is my prescription
My vision is no division, See eye to eye when you listen
It ain't about my image when music is my prescription
My vision is no division, See eye to eye when you listen

If you got the courage, the strength, will and endurance
To fight for what you believe in, stand up (stand up)
If you got the passion inside you that's everlasting
To guide you to what you're after, stand up (stand up)
All of this pressure, up on ya shoulder like a boulder
Tho I know that you'll lift it and stand up (stand up)
All of this torture can burn and scorch ya if ya let it
If it hurts it's gone force ya to stand up (stand up)

Peace to Ali, one of the finest embodiments of courage
Takin a stand for what he believed in results an ultimate flourish
Provided us with the nourishment needed to reach the purest
Form of innocence, no violence, fighting with kindness makes a killing
Better believe that in time we gone find our peace of mind
Never gone eat up a piece of the pie if the hungry don't get a slice
Better believe that in time we gone find our peace of mind
I ain't gone eat up a piece of the pie if the hungry don't get a slice

If you got the courage, the strength, will and endurance
To fight for what you believe in, stand up (stand up)
If you got the passion inside you that's everlasting
To guide you to what you're after, stand up (stand up)
All of this pressure, up on ya shoulder like a boulder
Tho I know that you'll lift it and stand up (stand up)
All of this torture can burn and scorch ya if ya let it
If it hurts it's gone force ya to stand up (stand up)
