Pharoahe Monch - Stand Your Ground lyrics

If speed is what you need
If progress what you want to possess
See, when the system get you down
You got to just stand

I am just one man but I know my power
It's the final call, we're in the final hour
And we must not divide as
We march toward our future
Who are they to decide when
They conspire to shoot yah
Ahh, that could've been my mother
Ohh, that could’ve been my brother
As sure as we circle the
Sun and the earth revolves
Get involved, get involved, get involved
Get involved

Stand your ground

They'll say I've lost my mind
Claim that I'm psychotic
He's a fucking traitor, he's unpatriotic
But, I learned in life, truth
It must be slated
And I know my rights, they're un-alienated
Descendent of the blood of slaves
Used to be the one afraid
Until I learned my soul's divine
Amalgamate, let's combine, unify
Get in line and

Stand your ground
