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
