Lyrics

[PreChorus]
Don’t speak, nothing more to say
No one listens anyway
Is that how we're gonna play?
All where we stand on
Note these messages of greed
No advice is all we ever need
Is that what we're supposed to be?
All where we stand on
[Chorus]
How can we fight for peace?
We are the enemies
We’ve lost our dignity
Stand up and stand proud
We only know from grief
Nobody wants to see
We need to learn to say
Stand up and stand proud
[Verse 1]
Alright, yo, too much dutty politicians deh out a road
Wah mama have to go to work and leave her kids at home
Several times a week she just a try to make ends meet
Have to grind it out because you know the pickney have to eat
Father locked up so you know help is obsolete
System set him up and now he is a product of the streets
Brother tell the community that gets no help
From those who claiming they see people in need
News flash and nothing's different
We got corporations making money over prisons
I’ll be dissing governments and it’s only minimal
Of all the money, well it’s time to get rid of them
Incarceration all from the system
They should know, they should know now we mad at them
How many more? Will they lock up the poor?
Or money for investors to store?
No more
[PreChorus]
Don’t speak, nothing more to say
No one listens anyway
Is that how we're gonna play?
All where we stand on
Note these messages of greed
No advice is all we ever need
Is that what we're supposed to be?
All where we stand on
[Chorus]
How can we fight for peace?
We are the enemies
We’ve lost our dignity
Stand up and stand proud
We only know from grief
Nobody wants to see
We need to learn to say
Stand up and stand proud
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo yo, ayy
We nah go sit in quiet
All you fi take a riot
We just a blaze the fire
Revolution take me higher
Oh yes this world is cold
Or they see through our soul
The half has not been told
Full time we take control
Get up and stand up and
Fight and fight
And get up for your rights
We standing up tall
And divided we fall
Time for we to unite
We all need a semblance
Whether we black or we white
Get together, organize
It is time to centralize
[Verse 3]
Don't try and tell me that you know what it's like
Riots in the streets and
The fires at night
I see a reason to get up-up and fight
It’s a fucked up system in a fucked up time
We are in a system corrupted by greed
Farms in the lands and they lead by elites
Big politicians speak on behalf of me
And they claim that they come from the streets
[Outro]
Don’t speak, nothing more to say
No one listens anyway
Is that how we're gonna play?
All where we stand on
Note these messages of greed
No advice is all we ever need
Is that what we're supposed to be?
All where we stand on
