You can feel my rage, yeah, I'm red hot
You either get my point or you get point blanked shot 'Cause I forgot, you see, black lives as nuisances Broke your own laws, suspended the constitution Fueled by hate, strapped up, ready for war
But mama told me love's the only thing worth fighting for Uh, but I ain't felt hope in a long time
Black lives ain't made nothing in a long time
So I'm all up on your face, on your palate
How it tastes? Will it take another life to go to waste? For y'all to get up to date with the state of inequality Between racе, but it's not about black and white It's about all humans gettin' basic human rights So I swallow my pride and look you in thе eye
Give you my time even if I never change nothing
My people always equal, so we always stand for something
Stand for something
We stand for something
We stand for something
We stand for something
Knock, knock, standing at your door like Jehovah Witness
I could be the greatest just like Hova spit it
But I ain't give a fuck if you ain't ready to listen
'Cause our people losing lives, yeah, fuck the system The government ain't never gave a fuck about us
They stole our youth, so now we drowning in the fountain Black voices never heard upon your TV
Black thoughts caught your ears
So now you motherfuckers hear me
Howard saved so many lives with gun laws
But I'm shootin' holes like pool, damn right I saved my black balls Please won't you Aborigines be polite?
Only white lives worth saving and that ain't right
So fuck it, this discussion is disgusting
Mind racing next racists wrists I'll slit and have gushing Now I'm locked in a cell and my education means nothing Even though they said, "Sorry, it never changed nothing"
It changed nothing It changed nothing I stand for something Stand for something Aye
Over half my peers more likely to see prison
Than to get an education, how's that life worth living? How's that life worth living?
We stand for something
