Stand Up

I stand up for myself
I stand up for change
I stand up for justice
I stand up for peace
I stand up for equality
I stand up for black excellence
I stand ups for reparations
I stand up for love
Stand up because, still we rise

The whole world's watching, scenes through a broken mirror
A thousand mes are waiting and now
And now's the moment, but am I really gonna seize it?
I'm doing what I said I believed in
But everything's all fast paced, doubt, faith but time waits for no-one
If I just take that first step then, I'll be on my way

Stand up, Stand up
Time keeps moving and nothings granted
So don't stop, hold on
I can, I can
Things worth having, they won't come easy
But I know it's my time

The pressure's building, but i'm gonna rise to the top
I'm taking charge of my direction and I, and I
I'm built for greatness and nothing's gonna stop it
I'm doing what I should be doing
But everything's all fast paced, doubt, faith but time waits for no-one
If I just take that first step then, I'll be on my way

Stand up, Stand up
Time keeps moving and nothings granted
So don't stop, hold on
I can, I can
Things worth having they won't come easy
But I know it's my time

Time to win, time to go hard, time to break the shackles holding my heart and
Time to stop wasting time on time consuming things just holding me back
Coz I'm in control of my destiny and I give it all, all of me
And if I believe it, I can do it all, So I just

Stand up, Stand up
Coz time keeps moving and nothings granted
So don't stop, hold on
I can, I can
And things worth having they won't come easy
But I know it's, oh
Stand up, Stand up
And things worth having they won't come easy
But I know it's my time
