Stand up
'Cause you are standing for nothing
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing (nothing)
Everyone is at each other's throats
Everyone thinking that they know things that they don't know
Everyone painting the third coat on the wall of belief
Send me relief
When I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When I call the police will they just protect me
'Cause I'm white skinned too?
Every time you talk, the system knows
Everywhere you walk, the cameras go
Everything I say you already know
Everything in state is about to blow
Way back before Jim Crow
When I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When I call the police will they just protect me
'Cause I'm white skinned too?
Stand up
'Cause you are standing for nothing
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing (nothing)
Everybody stares like I'm just my gender
I'm a living soul with my own agenda
Tell me how you are the priest and the prosecution
How you love a God who loves executions
Corruption in the blue line ripples out
Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud
Attention when the knees fall to the ground
Silently loud
When I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When you call the police would they just protect you
'Cause you're white skinned too?
Every day that passes I'm angrier
Every time the cops get a hall pass, build another barrier
Now it's stereotypical
No I'm not cynical
Political, hypocritical
Corruption in the blue line ripples out
Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud
Attention when the knees fall to the ground
Silently loud
Stand up
'Cause you are standing for nothing
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing (nothing)
If you walked a mile in my shoes
You'd probably take 'em off, wouldn't you?
If you had to live in my truth
You'd probably tell a lie, wouldn't you?
When I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
Stand up
Stand for nothing
Nothing
You stand for nothing
Stand up
'Cause you stand for nothing
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing
Stand up
'Cause you stand for nothing
Just shut up
'Cause your words mean nothing
