Take a Stand ft. DMO Lyrics

I'll continue to sit. I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed

To me, this is something that has to change

And when there's significant change, and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent and this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand

We live in a land

Mad at a man for taking a stand

For taking a knee disgruntled with his country

I think it's funny everyone is burning their nikes

Can't you see that they gotta keep us fighting

Keep the fire igniting the flame alive

Cause that's the way they create a divide

If it's about respect, then respect is choice

Choosing a passive action for those without a voice

Bring the noise. Shut it down

Chuck D told me that when P.E. was around

Now it's hit the ground and get choked out

Is that what freedom is all about

I'm talking inside jobs or no more jobs

Got us praising false idols like Steve Jobs

Y'all need to get your priorities straight

before they lay you down on your dying day

Stand up. Sit down.

Take a knee. Then bow

There's a lot of things that need to change

One specifically is police brutality

There's people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable

Cops are getting paid leave for killing people

That's not right

That's not right by anyone's standards

This is America catch us all slipping now

Only the land of the brave you can't stand your ground

Keep us all morbid

Move and we'll kill you now

Especially when you hear get your ass on the ground

Better comply or get killed

Complied and got killed

This is why Kap kneeled

So many miss that man they bringing up the flag in MAGA hats

And we see more blood spilled

Believing police word over video

I said it before said it again your mind blown

Together we strong. We see we team up to overthrow them

Inciting from our poems

Tamir Rice and Philando we stand for them

Police from within gotta say something to them

This is America thought we was free now

Only the land of the brave we can't kneel now

Stand up. Sit down.

Take a knee. Then bow

We have to come together

We have to unify and make a change

If we have these real conversations that are uncomfortable for a lot of people

If we have these conversations there's a better understanding where both sides are coming from

And if we reach common ground and can understand what everybody's going through

We can really effect change and make sure that everybody's treated equally and has the same freedom
