Stand Up (feat. Nathália)

If I don’t stand up for somethin'

They make me fall down for nothin'

Keep me lock down, down, down

With no way out (no out)

If I don’t speak up for something

They take my freedom for nothing

Keep me lock down, down, down

Affi check myself, see if I thinking straight

'Cause I’m feeling so alone inna this sinking place

Everybody tryna stay afloat, and think it safe

Following the news reporters, everything dem state

But Martin Luther had a dream, weh him nuh live fi see

Rosa Parks did tek a seat, Cappernick him tek a knee

Mandela go a jail and end up set the people free

Marcus Garvey mek mi pree a God weh fava me

Malcolm X him tell we seh by any means necessary

Peter Tosh seh legalize it, look deh now see ganja free

The word tek onto flesh and manifest in front a me

Suh I create my own reality

If I don’t stand up for somethin'

They make me fall down for nothin'

Keep me lock down, down, down

With no way out (no out)

If I don’t speak up for something

They take my freedom for nothing

Keep me lock down, down, down

With no way out (no way out)

Some a dem cah pay dem lawyer fee

Suh them haffi tek a plea

Suh what that says to me

Is that freedom isn’t free

Cyaan get no good education from certain community

Suh yuh likely fi guh end up inna di penitentiary

Breonna Taylor get shot up and George Floyd him couldn’t breathe

If a dat them do to dem, then what dem ago do to me?

Anyone with common sense can see, wah Babylon a pree

But even when di higher man stand alone

If I don’t stand up for something

They make me fall down for nothing

Keep me lock down, down, down

With no way out (no out)

I don’t speak up for something

They take my freedom for nothing

Keep me lock down down down

With no way out (no way out)

See, see dem

Waan fi muzzle mi, but I a speak out

That's why dem record label dem nuh try an' reach out

Dem know seh that mi different from the guy weh bleach out

And rasta nah go sell mi soul fi buy a beach no house

Tell dem seh di Bebble Rock reliable

Gideon start, duff a dem unidentifiable

One bagga talk, until yuh see seh that dem pliable

But I a stand firm, and that is undeniable

If I don’t stand up for something

They make me fall down for nothing

Keep me lock down down down

With no way out (No out)

I don’t speak up for something

They take my freedom for nothing

Keep me lock down, down, down

With no way out (No way out)

Whooo, woo, woo, woo

Whoo, woo, woo, woo
