Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stand up
'Cause you are standing for nothing
[Verse 2]
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing
[Verse 3]
Everyone is at each other's throats
Everyone thinking that they know things that they don't know
Everyone painting the third coat on the wall of belief
Send me relief
[Verse 4]
When I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When I call the police will they just protect me 'cause I'm white skinned too?
[Verse 5]
Every time you talk the system knows
Everywhere you walk the cameras go
Everything I say you already know
Everything in state is about to blow
Way back before Jim Crow
[Verse 6]
When I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When I call the police will they just protect me 'cause I'm white skinned too?
[Verse 7]
Stand up
'Cause you are standing for nothing
[Verse 8]
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing
[Verse 9]
Everybody stares like I'm just my gender
But I'm a living soul with my own agenda
Tell me how you are the priest and the prosecution
How you love a God who loves execution
[Verse 10]
Corruption in the blue line ripples out
Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud
Attention when the knees fall to the ground
Silently loud
[Verse 11]
When I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When you call the police would they just protect you 'cause you're white skinned too?
[Verse 12]
Every day that passes I'm angrier
Every time the cops get a hall pass - build another barrier
Now it's stereotypical
No I'm not cynical
Political hypocritical
[Verse 13]
Corruption in the blue line ripples out
Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud
Attention when the knees fall to the ground
Silently loud
[Verse 14]
Stand up
'Cause you are standing for nothing
[Verse 15]
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing
[Verse 16]
If you walked a mile in my shoes
You'd probably take 'em off, wouldn't you?
If you had to live in my truth
You'd probably tell a lie, wouldn't you?
[Verse 17]
When I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
[Verse 18]
Stand up
You stand for nothing
[Verse 19]
Nothing
You stand for nothing
[Verse 20]
Stand up
'Cause you stand for nothing
[Verse 21]
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing
[Verse 22]
Stand up
'Cause you stand for nothing
[Verse 23]
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing
