God-des & She Stand Up
OOOoo hoO hOoo
Uhhh
I know its cliché to say everyday be positive,
Life’s’ filled with obstacles and broken promises,
When the sun don’t shine your battling time,
On the search to find answers that you never find,
Sometimes... you feel like giving up,
Throw your hands to the sky cos’ you’re so fed up,
Sometimes... you truly lose your hope
Trying to find an escape so you drink and smoke
Then the next day comes and it doesn’t get better
Our generations lost, n we needa’ go get her
so many of us got folks that don't get us
it's not the same as it was, their mentality's stuck
in their old ways, but it's not the same
In the past 20 years things have really changed,
We’ve lost our sense of hope; n lost our sense of pride
I wanna change the way I think, at least I’m going to try.
Stand up for what you believe in, don’t be afraid [Don’t you be afraid]
It aint easy, to have hope when you’re always broke
But you know you’ve gotta keep, keeping on just the same
My baby...
It’s a hope a sense of air the breeze around the world,
Trina t latch on to somethin’ like riches and pearls,
Tryin’ to find a sense of purpose in material things,
Distracted from yourself when your cell phone rings,
Hey
I understand how it feels, how life can be so hard to deal with,
Hey,
I’ve been down that road, searching for direction with no path to follow,
You can’t just go to college and get a degree,
Fo’ sure it’d make enough to support your family
We’re an angry generation littered by the situation
Weapons too accessible to take out of frustration
With violence involved, guns resolve
Minor disputes in schools bathroom stalls
I’m not sure how to process all the thoughts I have
I know times are tough but it’s not all bad
Come on
Stand up for what you believe in [You’ve gotta believe], don’t be afraid [Don’t you be afraid]
It aint easy, to have hope when you’re always broke
But you know you’ve gotta keep, keeping on just the same
My baby...
It’s up to us ya’ll
Our generation is way too complacent;
We have a war going on,
And so many of us are not free
Its time for us to make a stand
And come together
N don’t just talk revolution, act revolution,
Stand up, come on.
Stand up for what you believe in, don’t be afraid [Don’t you be afraid]
It aint easy
[It might not be easy baby],
To have hope when you’re always broke
[But you gotta have some hope]
But you know you’ve gotta keep, keeping on just the same
My baby...
Stand up for what you believe in, don’t be afraid [Don’t you be afraid]
It aint easy, to have hope when you’re always broke
But you know you’ve gotta keep, keeping on just the same
My baby...
Stand up for something, no matter what it is,
What you’re unhappy with
Change your path,
Change your life,
Yeah,
We deserve equality, come on.
