Yeah, fuck
Yo, stand up or die
Stand up or die on your knees

Another policy, yeah, to keep you on your knees
Another one in jail, another young black male, he kinda look like me
A law you did not make is gonna seal your fate
Like you had no voice, like you got no choice, but we the remedy

In the lies we trust (you know that we trust)
To survive we must (you know that we must)
‘Cause now you’re one of us
They gon’ cut you down (they’re cutting you down)
If you speak too much (if you speak too much, boy)
‘Cause now you’re one of us

So what did you expect from us?
So what did you expect?

They gotta isolate, they gotta segregate this
Just to keep us down, to keep us broken down
To keep us on the streets
Another body laying on the floor now
Tell everybody they better take their tone out
When talking about it, and everything they saw
No justice, no peace, we at war with the law

In the lies we trust (you know that we trust)
To survive we must (you know that we must)
‘Cause now you’re one of us (you’re one of us)
They gon’ cut you down (they will cut you down)
If you speak too much (if you speak too much, boy)
‘Cause now you’re one of us

Stand up or die on your knees
Stand up or die on your knees
Stand up or die on your knees
Stand up or die on your knees, get up
Stand up or die on your knees, get up
Stand up or fucking die on your knees
Stand up or die on your knees (yeah)
Stand up while you’re begging them, begging them: Please
Stand up or die on your knees, get up
Stand up or fucking die on your knees

In the lies we trust, to survive we must
‘Cause now you’re one of us
They gon’ cut you down if you speak too much
‘Cause now you’re one of us

Stand up or die on your knees
Stand up or die on your knees
