Lyrics

Don't speak nothing more to say
 No one listens anyway
 Is that how we are going to play
 All where we stand up
 Notice messagess of hate
 No rights is all we ever think
 Is that we deserve to take
 All where we stand up
 How can we fight for peace
 We are the enemy
 We've lost our dignity
 Stand up and stand proud
 We only know from greed
 Nobody wants to see
 We need to learn to say stand up
 And stand proud
 Alright too much dutty politicians deh out a road
 While mama have to go work and leave her kids at home
 Several times a week she just a try to make ends meet
 Have to grind it out because the pickaninny need to eat
 Father locked up so his help is obsolete
 System set him up and now he is a product of the streets
 Brothers of the community that gets no help
 From those claiming they help people in need
 News flash and nothing is different
 We got corporations making money over prisons
 Lobbyist in government mandatory minimum
 All for the money well it's time to get rid of them
 Incarceration all from a system
 They should know, they should know, why we're mad at them
 How many more?
 Will they lock up the poor?
 More money for investors to store, no more
 Don't speak nothing more to say
 No one listens anyway
 Is that how we are going to play
 All where we stand up
 Notice messagess of hate
 No rights is all we ever think
 Is that we deserve to take
 All where we stand up
 How can we fight for peace
 We are the enemy
 We've lost our dignity
 Stand up and stand proud
 We only know from greed
 Nobody wants to see
 We need to learn to say stand up
 And stand proud
 Yea yea yea yea yo yo
 We now go sit in quiet
 All you take a riot
 We just a blaze the fire red
 Rebelution take we higher
 Oh yes this world is cold
 Or they don't see our soul
 The half has not been told
 Full time we take control
 Get up and stand up and run up and fight
 And get up for your rights
 We standing up tall
 And divided we fall
 Time for we to unite
 We all need a semblance
 Whether we black or we white
 Get together organize
 A time to centralize
 oh don't try and tell me you know what is like
 Riots in the street and the fires at night
 I see a reason to get up up and fight
 It's a fucked up system in a fucked up time
 We are in a system corrupted by greed
 Farmed in the lands and then led by elite
 Fake politicians speak on behalf of me
 And they claim that they come from the streets
 Don't speak nothing more to say
 No one listens anyway
 Is that how we are going to play
 All where we stand up
 Notice messagess of hate
 No rights is all we ever think
 Is that we deserve to take
 All where we stand up
