Afronaut - Speak Up lyrics

Intro (Afronaut): Yo You ever felt like, there's pressure in your gut? Like something's happened to you And you can't tell anyone what's happened? Well we're gonna help you speak up for yourself Right now Verse 1 (Afronaut): Here's a little story about a reject named Jimmy Jimmy had a mom and dad, and a cute kitty He was never really liked by children in his school Because he was 213 pounds and 5'2" 6th grade isn't the best transition for a child Especially when you grew up in a neighborhood like Ivywild Rape, murder, deals and s**, his whole hood was piled But on one rainy night, his mom's mood was very wild Jimmy's mother had found out that her sister had died Jimmy told his friends and they promised not to spread it But as normal kids would, they indeed lied Tellin' the whole school, through social media, like Reddit People started making fun of Jimmy even more Telling him he's a "fatty" and "just a stupid boar" He couldn't take it anymore, so on one lonely night He got a rope from his dad and hung himself! (Bye-Bye!) Hook (Afronaut): It is time to make a change in our society Help the ones who need it with their social anxiety Even though there are the few that help others We still need to be speaking up for one another [x2] Verse 2 (Captain): You speak up for me, and I'll speak up for you Man, I can't believe that this crap is true Jimmy dead found a rope around his head Wishin' that his milli would be frickin' dead And the people that watched him get mentally abused And refused to step up, for another homie Y'all talk big but you a little phony Can't think you would just sit there, watch him die inside Sittin' alone, watching him cry, it just took 1 person to ask why To shoot him back up, startin' to fly in the sky Seen the light like a kite, but it didn't happen Now you have to plan for another human pa**in' Just so sad it took this to happen, to get people in it Who couldn't take one minute to make someone better? But now he fought away, and can't correct the mistake that he made Best believe the same fate Hook (Afronaut): It is time to make a change in our society Help the ones who need it with their social anxiety Even though there are the few that help others We still need to be speaking up for one another [x6] Outro (Captain): Yo Make sure if you see anybody Ever getting bullied, or hurt, or anything You step up for them It could be YOU that changes our whole world Or it could be the person that... goes home, depressed everyday That could change the world or change the lives of many All because, 1 person, has that fair Maybe that one person don't deserve anything Or, maybe that 1 person is having a hard time at home That's not your place to judge! So don't! So if you ever see anything, just speak up Captain closin' out Thanks Afro Peace!
