Frustrated with this situations
It's not enough love in the world people hating
Black people on the stake don't no how much more I can't take
Don't wanna see no more kids dying in the streets
A knee in my neck screaming I can't breath
We can't determine who wins the race wars
So choose to fight it or we will never know

It's time to stand up
I have had enough
Cause I go hard for my people I got love for my people
So I gotta speak up
It's time to stand up
I have had enough
Cause I go hard for my people I got love for my people
So I gotta speak up

I can't understand it why is it so hard
Why should we have to demand it when it is rightfully ours
It could all be so simple forty acres and a mule but wait
Is that asking too much when we be been hurt and abused

It's time to stand up
I have had enough
Cause I go hard for my people I got love for my people
So I gotta speak up
It's time to stand up
I have had enough
Cause I go hard for my people I got love for my people
So I gotta speak up

We gotta wake up our people
Stop breaking down our people
We gotta learn to trust our people, educate, lend a hand, build the wealth our people

Somebody tell me what is going on
How we still here
Shit's gotten out of hand lets make it clear
That I'm beyond fed up and no I won't shut up
Until things make a change I'm gonna take a stand

It's time to stand up
I have had enough
Cause I go hard for my people I got love for my people
So I gotta speak up
It's time to stand up
I have had enough
Cause I go hard for my people I got love for my people
So I gotta speak up

Standing up against depression
Standing up against procrastination
Standing up against mental illness
Family secrets generational curses
We gotta stick together
We gotta get it right
We gotta stick together
We gotta get it right
We Gotta stick together
If we gone get it right
We gotta affirm one another
If we gone get it right
We can't let nothing hold us back
If we gone get it right
We gotta wake up our people we gotta get it right
Black lives matter
