Lyrics
0:03Stand up
0:06'Cause you are standing for nothing
0:11Just shut up
0:14'Cause your words mean nothing
0:19Everyone is at each other's throats
0:21Everyone thinking that they know things that they don't know Everyone painting the third coat on the wall of belief
0:26Send me relief
0:27When I call the police will they just kill me?
0:29Will they just kill you?
0:31When I call the police will they just protect me cause I'm white skinned too?
0:35Every time you talk the system knows
0:36Everywhere you walk the cameras go
0:38Everything I say you already know
0:39Everything in state is about to blow
0:41Way back before Jim Crow
0:43When I call the police will they just kill me?
0:44Will they just kill you?
0:47When I call the police will they just protect me cause I'm white skinned too?
0:50Stand up
0:53'Cause you are standing for nothing
0:58Just shut up
1:01'Cause your words mean nothing
1:07Everybody stares like I'm just my gender
1:08But I'm a living soul with my own agendo
1:10Tell me how you are the priest and the prosecution
1:12Tell me how you have a God who loves executions
1:15Corruption in the blue line ripples out
1:16Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud
1:19Attention when the knees fall to the ground
1:20Silently loud
1:22When I call the police will they just kill me?
1:24Will they just kill you?
1:25When you call the police would they just protect you cause you're white skinned too?
1:30Every day that passes I'm angrier
1:32Every time the cops get a hall pass - build another barrier
1:34Now it's stereotypical
1:35No I'm not cynical
1:36Political hypocritical
1:38Corruption in the blue line ripples out
1:40Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud
1:42Attention when the knees fall to the ground
1:44Silently loud
1:45Stand up
1:48'Cause you are standing for nothing
1:53Just shut up
1:56'Cause your words mean nothing
2:02If you walked a mile in my shoes
2:06You'd probably take 'em off wouldn't you?
2:10If you had to live in my truth
2:14You'd probably tell a lie wouldn't you?
2:17When I call the police will they just kill me?
2:19Will they just kill you?
2:20Stand up
2:26'Cause you stand for nothing
2:29Nothing
2:33You stand for nothing
2:40Stand up
2:41'Cause you stand for nothing
2:44Just shut up
2:47'Cause your words mean nothing
2:52Stand up
2:57'Cause you stand for nothing
3:00Just shut up
3:03'Cause your words mean nothing
Stand up 'Cause you are standing for nothing Just shut up 'Cause your words mean nothing 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 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? 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 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? Stand up 'Cause you are standing for nothing Just shut up 'Cause your words mean nothing Everybody stares like I'm just my gender But I'm a living soul with my own agendo Tell me how you are the priest and the prosecution Tell me how you have a God who loves executions 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 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? 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 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 Stand up 'Cause you are standing for nothing Just shut up 'Cause your words mean nothing 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? When I call the police will they just kill me? Will they just kill you? Stand up 'Cause you stand for nothing Nothing You stand for nothing Stand up 'Cause you stand for nothing Just shut up 'Cause your words mean nothing Stand up 'Cause you stand for nothing Just shut up 'Cause your words mean nothing
