When American people say its disrespectful to the flag 
When our athletes protest by kneeling, 
I wonder how will this nation respond to the murder 
of an innocent black man begging, “officer please, I can’t breathe?” 

Imagine a day when a black man won’t have to wonder 
If he will return home safe from jogging 
A day when the law that swore to serve and protect him, 
Will stop looking the other way to protect the men who lynched him 
 
That’s why we stand up
(Stand up)
Stand up 
(Stand up)
Stand up for black lives
So we stand up
(Stand up)
Our hand up
(hand up) 
For those who lost their life
One love, one voice, united we all stand
We will stand up 
(stand up)
Stand up
(Stand up)
Up for those who can’t 

One day a black nurse will feel safe coming home 
After a long day caring for her patients 
She will be able to Rest In Peace in the comfort of her own bed
In a future where police officers are held accountable for their actions 

But until then innocent citizens continue to 
Live in fear every day
Because the world doesn’t listen when a black mother cries for her baby 
No, what the world hears are the politicians who open their wallets 
And thank corrupt police officers for their service 

That’s why we stand

That’s why we stand up
(Stand up)
Stand up
(Stand up) 
Stand up for black lives
So we stand up
(Stand up)
Our hand up
(hand up) 
For those who lost their life

Say their names: 
George Floyd 
Rodney King
Ahmaud Arbery 
Treyvon Martin
Breonna Taylor 
Eric Garner
Tamir Rice
Freddie Gray
Yvette Smith
Michael Brown
Tanisha Anderson
Sandra Bland
Philando Castile
Michael Dean

And countless others

That’s why we stand up
(Stand up)
Stand up
(Stand up)
Stand up for black lives
So we stand up
Our hand up
Hand up
For those who lost their life
Stand up 
(Stand up)
