Stand

(album: Dirty Diamonds - 2005)

[Xzibit:]
Yeah
Stand Up
Ha?
What do you believe in?
Ha?
Yeah
Stand Up
Aha
C'mon

[Alice:]
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 you 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

[Xzibit:] Yeah Yeah

[Alice:]
Don't you know that you're worth
As much as anyone on earth
(You`re a megastar)
Put your hands in the sky
Let your freaky colours fly
(Get 'em way up high)

You got style and you got game
So get it out don't be ashamed
([Xzibit:] Yeah)
Let everybody know your name
([Xzibit:] C'mon)
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
([Xzibit:] Stand Up)
You will fall for anything
Get up

[Xzibit:]
Yeah
Ah
Yeah
Breathe with me
Yeah
C'mon
Breathe

You can stand for peace
You can stand for war
I stand in the square I never stood before
I take a stand for my son like Afeni Shakur
[Note: Mother of dead rapper Tupac Shakur]
I take a stand like a four double six six four
Stand alone in my struggle
Can't make me stand down
Make 'em crash and burn
Mayday mayday may tell
Get up stand up get your damn hands off
If they not shackled to your feet in 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 grinding, the west's keeps 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 something (or) you're bound to fall for anything

[Alice:]
If you don't stand for something
([Xzibit:] stand up stand up)
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!
