Trisano - Stand Up lyrics

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 homie 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, bithces 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 claimb 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)
