Lyrics

[00:00.25] I would like to say to this gentleman
[00:02.54] And all other people who are not blessed with melanin
[00:06.57] At this point in time to understand that
[00:10.19] What has happened in our history is that
[00:12.37] You have been misinformed as much as we have been misinformed.
[00:17.02] Much of the information that is brought forth,
[00:20.26] Not only from Doctor Mohammed, but other areas,
[00:23.55] Other scholars, are not available to you as a sister said
[00:27.76] In your curriculum that you've had for 400 years
[00:32.82] When you did not allow us to read and write, it was being hidden.
[00:35.74] Whether you, sir, personally did that or not,
[00:39.38] It was a legacy that was passed onto you.
[00:42.97] And I end by saying the Holocaust
[00:45.58] Is simply the greatest atrocity on film.
[00:49.07] Ours was not filmed.
[00:51.70] (Get up, stand up) No apology, equality
[00:55.06] (Stand up for your rights) Youth is future, lets move forward
[00:58.26] (Get up, stand up) Healthy mentality helps sanity
[01:00.89] (Stand up for your rights) Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
[01:03.59] (Get up, stand up) Facts half backwards and inaccurate
[01:06.23] (Stand up for your rights) Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
[01:08.90] (Get up, stand up) Good over evil, deceitful
[01:11.52] (Don't give up the fight) Morals, principles, it's simple, son
[01:14.46] What will it take for my peoples to connect together?
[01:17.05] You know it's black excellence if we compete together
[01:19.85] Picture a photograph of black folks lit together
[01:22.38] In high definition, in high, I would never
[01:25.23] Turn my back on the block, I got the block on my back
[01:27.94] Like James Brown, boy, I'm proud to be black
[01:30.52] To all my sisters, Mother Earth has birthed us
[01:33.33] Lurchers, it hurts us first, less heard this
[01:36.14] To all my sisters, ain't no knockin' you back
[01:38.31] Politicans politickin' with a gown and a cap
[01:41.01] The house got flavor and I like it like that
[01:43.85] Black girl power, yeah, I'm rockin' with that
[01:46.55] Doors is gettin' kicked down, statues is gettin' ripped down
[01:49.44] Presidents meetin' overseas just to have a sitdown
[01:52.27] They tryna keep us from runnin' up
[01:54.22] I never tell you to get down, it's all about comin' up
[01:57.76] (Get up, stand up) No apology, equality
[02:00.59] (Stand up for your rights) Youth is future, lets move forward
[02:03.78] (Get up, stand up) Healthy mentality helps sanity
[02:06.20] (Stand up for your rights) Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
[02:08.95] (Get up, stand up) Facts half backwards and inaccurate
[02:11.59] (Stand up for your rights) Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
[02:14.31] (Get up, stand up) Good over evil, deceitful
[02:16.95] (Don't give up the fight)
[02:18.23] Morals, principles, it's simple, son (Son)
[02:20.23] So what are you saying?
[02:22.04] The foundation was laid, y'all nation was made
[02:24.99] Off our ancestors' back, back, back in the day
[02:27.47] Four hundred years ago, y'all made us slaves
[02:30.35] And you can hear it in the spirit comin' deep from the graves
[02:33.03] Life is a maze
[02:34.53] Smoke so much **** you in a daze
[02:37.31] But you ain't trippin', you gettin' paid
[02:39.97] Who do you praise? But anyways
[02:42.58] I read a history book, but I ain't learned nothin', dawg
[02:47.20] So I read the Bible, then the holy Quran
[02:50.18] Went to Jamaica to acquire my knowledge
[02:52.38] Sat with some Rastas 'til my game got polished
[02:55.11] The gangbang extreme with malice
[02:57.15] Trees and degrees like I'm trained for college
[02:59.69] They tryna keep us from runnin' up
[03:02.44] I never tell you to get down, it's all about comin' up
[03:05.98] (Get up, stand up) No apology, equality
[03:09.05] (Stand up for your rights) Youth is future, lets move forward
[03:11.90] (Get up, stand up) Healthy mentality helps sanity
[03:14.32] (Stand up for your rights) Melting Pot, help us up, vote or not
[03:17.02] (Get up, stand up) Facts half backwards and inaccurate
[03:19.78] (Stand up for your rights) Tell folks no backin' up, track it up
[03:22.42] (Get up, stand up) Good over evil, deceitful
[03:25.11] (Don't give up the fight) Morals, principles, it's simple, son
[03:28.14] (Get up, stand up) No apology, equality
[03:30.54] (Stand up for your rights) Youth is future, lets move forward
[03:33.52] (Get up, stand up) Healthy mentality helps sanity
