Stand Up

Damian Marley, Keron Salmon, Nathalia Marshall, Nkrumah Marley Thomas

If I don't stand up for something
They make me fall down for nothing
Keep me lock down, down, down
With no way out, no out
If I don't speak up for something
They take my freedom for nothing
Keep me lock down, down, down
With no way out, no way out (Accurate Immaculate)

Haffi check myself, see if I thinking straight
'Cause I'm feeling so alone inna this sinking place
Everybody trying to stay afloat and think it safe
Following the news reporters, everything dem state
But Martin Luther had a dream weh him nuh live fi see
Rosa Parks did tek a seat, Kaepernick him tek a knee
Mandela go a jail and end up set di people free
Marcus Garvey mek me pree a God weh fava me
Malcolm X him tell we seh by any means necessary
Peter Tosh seh legalize it, look deh now see ganja free
The word tek onto flesh and manifest in front a me
So I create my own reality

If I don't stand up for something
They make me fall down for nothing
Keep me lock down, down, down
With no way out, no out
I don't speak up for something
They take my freedom for nothing
Keep me lock down, down, down
With no way out, no way out

Some a dem cyaan' pay dem lawyer fee
So dem haffi tek a plea
So then what that says to me
Is that freedom isn't free
Cyaan' get no good education from certain community
So yuh likely fi go end up inna di penitentiary
Breonna Taylor get shot up and George Floyd him couldn't breathe
If a dat dem do to them, then what dem a go do to me?
Anyone with common sense can see wah Babylon a pree
But even when di higher man stand alone

If I don't stand up for something
They make me fall down for nothing
Keep me lock down, down, down
With no way out, no out
I don't speak up for something
They take my freedom for nothing
Keep me lock down, down, down
With no way out, no way out

See seh dem wan fi muzzle me but I a speak out
That's why dem record label dem nuh try and reach out
Dem know seh that me different from dem guys weh bleach out
And rasta nah go sell mi soul fi buy no beach house
Tell dem seh di Bebble Rock reliable
Gideon start, nuff a dem unidentifiable
One bagga talk, until you see seh dem a pliable
But I a stand firm and that is undeniable

If I don't stand up for something
They make me fall down for nothing
Keep me lock down, down, down
With no way out, no out
I don't speak up for something
They take my freedom for nothing
Keep me lock down, down, down
With no way out, no way out

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
