Get your feet up off the ground
Let the tape roll, make the whole world stand up
Hold your position, don't go backwards
Put your hands in the sky
Don't look too long, you might get blinded
You got style and you got game
Only there to bring you down
Don't you know that you're worth
I take a stand for my son like Afeni Shakur
As much as anyone on earth?
If they're not shackled to your feet
I pray for the strength to handle what my city brings
Get up, get up, get up
Let everybody know your name
Get some handcuffs
Just a face in the crowd
So get it out, don't be ashamed
You will fall for anything
We need solutions not propaganda
Better stand for some or you're bound to fall for anything
If you don't stand for something
Make 'em crash and burn
You can stand for peace, you can stand for war
X still grindin', the west keep shining
Feeling lost, down and out
Follow your heart, your head might just find it
Get it on out, now, what's you name?
Lots of losers hanging 'round
Everybody's got a voice
Millions more just like you
If you don't stand for something
If you don't stand for something
You will fall for anything, get up
Let me hear you now
If you don't stand for something
I take a stand like I'm 4 double six 64
Can't make me stand down
Get up, stand up, get your damn hands up
Can you hear me now?
You will fall for anything, get up
Get 'em way up high
Yeah, stand up, come on
If you don't stand for something
You will fall for anything, get up
Am I getting through?
I stand in the square, never stood before
Stand alone in my struggle
If you don't stand for something
Now's the time to make some noise
Afraid to do what they wanna do
You will fall for anything
You will fall for anything
You're a mega star
Let your freaky colors fly
Mayday, mayday, mayday down
