Get Up by C.K. Marion
(Intro)
Fires in the West
Storms in the East
Contain a global virus
While we protest in the streets
Only thing we need next,
Is a stimulus check.
Aztec prophecy.
And a visit from E.T.
(Hook)
*Singer
I don’t want to hear your lies anymore
I just sit by and watch as our people die.
Yeah it’s getting tough and I’ve had enough
It’s time to get up.
(V1)
Mind perplexed by a vexed ma-media.
Malcolm X said, the news, misleading ya.
Hating the poor, & loving the rich.
Everyday is opposite, problem is,
It’s the Matrix with glitch.
Balling up my fist
Put the POWER in the sky.
BACK OF THE BUS to ~
SHOT in the back, 7 times.
It’s A, dangerous act when you black & alive.
Matter of fact it’s crime
You react...
Lose your mind.
Systematically chained. Mentally deranged.
Everything I’m seeing has my heart feeling pain.
Abel and Cain, bloodlines to brain.
Destroy our own planet.
No solution to sustain.
No more being silent; we’re defiant
Of the violence from the tyrant.
With the sounds of sirens
Noncompliant.
Let our voices be heard
Like a roar from a Lion.
Roar
Get Up
(Hook)
*Singer
I don’t want to hear you lies anymore
I just sit by and watch as our people die.
Yeah it’s getting tough and I’ve had enough
It’s time to get up.
(Bridge)
We as a people need to get up.
Let’s not just watch
Let’s take a stand
Get up for injustice, inequality,
And get up for the poor.
Yeah, let’s show them who we really are.
And get up. Get up.
Get up.
(V2)
Hit em, with the left.
Hit em’ with the right.
Every problem of the world,
Weighing heavy on my mind.
Activist doing time, trying to fight against brutality.
Racism, sexism, h*mosexuality,
disability (differently abled), Immigrants, and indigious people.
Standing up screaming “we just want to be equal.”
Feeble minded are lethal.
Evil Sam wants you.
pro-test-ing peaceful.
Hands up; don’t shoot.
Don’t kneel, don’t stand,
Don’t sleep, don’t walk.
Can’t breathe; don’t speak (boi).
Obey the cops.
YET We murdered at no cost.
Human rights don’t apply.
held down
Yet We still survive.
Not covid, & you know it’s,
Bigger than 2020.
Its the knee on our neck
Children being sold for money.
It’s the kids locked in cages.
And the families on the street.
billionaires hoarding it all
And people can’t eat.
No justice; no peace.
Breona Taylor cant sleep.
We still out in these streets
Screaming f*ck the police. (P)
Generational scars of blood sweat and tears.
YELLING inequality but it falls on deaf ears.
(Hook)

Yeah it’s getting tough and I’ve had enough
