Verse 1: Never bite your tongue n***a use it as a gun
Never flee instead make those cowards turn around
Look at how they escape buddy just watch em run
Baby go loud please speak aloud uh
Make all your people proud, shake every motherf**ing
Crowd, make them go "wow! " Feed from- your
Enemies, let em feel the heat that you bring
Martin Luther King had a dream, do you have one?
'Cause I do, my n***a you should too, -
Defend what you think, what you feel what you believe in
Don't remain silent, if you got to
Go wild and violent, stand up defiant
If you're living in struggle, go ahead and tell it
If you have a f**ing protest go ahead and yell it, lies can
Sell, but they'll fail, it ain't hard to f**ing tell, scream
'I'm somebody' yeah like the legend Melle Mel!
Chorus: Alright stand up, raise your voice
Yeah get up, make some noise
Alright stand up, raise your voice
Yeah get up, girls and boys (x2)
Verse 2: Don't let the greed n***a get in your way yeah
That's the root of all evil, that's what they say hey
If you wanna be listened, if you wanna be heard
Sir, keep it real and the nation will be there
Rapping 'bout j**elry, b**hes and chains
Will make you richer, is that the only thing 'cha want?
Instead write about your feelings, 'bout your experiences, remember
Your words can teach, your words can
Preach, foresight your speech can unleash
Spread- some wisdom, critics and beliefs
Your life you must live, your dreams you can achieve brother
This is Trizzie sayin make it motherf**ing big!
So I… want you to open your eyes, your mind, your mouth
Show them n***as what you are about
Alright stand up, get off your chair baby
Raise your voice like you don't f**ing care!
Chorus: Alright stand up, raise your voice
Yeah get up, make some noise
Alright stand up, raise your voice
Yeah get up, girls and boys (x2)
Bridge: (spoken) Oppressive regimes have always existed, ranging from Nazi Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union to Ceausescu's leadership, Franco's dictatorship and so on. This has to cease, call it a rebellion, name it as you want to, I'm just asking everyone to raise their voices, and stand up
Verse 3: Time for you to start a movement, just do it, go
Crazy go nuts, go motherf**ing stupid
Always- down with the crew feeling all brand new boo
Why should we hide our thoughts, i don't really have a clue
Drop your ego, spill your pride, leave all that sh** behind
Have in mind what matters, stand and climb the ladder
Some are truly feeling my sh**, feel like Marshall Mathers
I rather die but standing with a purpose
Today's rap game looks like a f**ing circus
Everything's about the surface, it makes me nervous
Speak out when you should, when you want when you need, keeping
Quiet will just make you feel like sh**, don't believe me? You'll
See, and you ain't gotta be great lyrically
Just someone who wants to see a change radically- and
f** off if you tryna shut us up
You will never get it cause we will stand up!
Chorus: Alright stand up, raise your voice
Yeah get up, make some noise
Alright stand up, raise your voice
Yeah get up, girls and boys (x2)
