Yeah, Stand up What do you believe in? Yeah Stand up Come on Just a face in the crowd Feeling lost, down and out Can you hear me now? Millions more just like you Afraid to do what they wanna do Am I getting through? Lots of losers hanging 'round Only there to bring you down Get your feet up off the ground Get up, get up, get up If you don't stand for something You will fall for anything If you don't stand for something You will fall for anything, get up Don't you know that you're worth As much as anyone on earth? You're a mega star Put your hands in the sky Let your freaky colors fly Get 'em way up high You got style and you got game So get it out, don't be ashamed Let everybody know your name Get it on out, now, what's you name? If you don't stand for something You will fall for anything If you don't stand for something You will fall for anything, get up You can stand for peace, you can stand for war I stand in the square, never stood before I take a stand for my son like Afeni Shakur I take a stand like I'm 4 double six 64 Stand alone in my struggle Can't make me stand down Make 'em crash and burn Mayday, mayday, mayday down Get up, stand up, get your damn hands up If they're not shackled to your feet Get some handcuffs We need solutions not propaganda Let the tape roll, make the whole world stand up Hold your position, don't go backwards X still grindin', the west keep shining Don't look too long, you might get blinded Follow your heart, your head might just find it I pray for the strength to handle what my city brings Better stand for some or you're bound to fall for anything If you don't stand for something You will fall for anything, get up If you don't stand for something You will fall for anything Everybody's got a voice Now's the time to make some noise Let me hear you now Get up
