[Verse 1]

Another nigga shot and ran down

We just tryna fucking live don’t wanna stand down

Black man black nigga put your hands down

We don’t want to see you niggas with your pants down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

Don’t put your hands up

Don’t put your head down

You got to man up

Go be a man now

You need to stand up

Don’t ever stand down

Cause I was pill popping them drugs

I den came back with them thugs

I den came back on them beats

I den came back with them bloods

Police pointing guns right at me

I don’t understand what I’ve done

White men staring looking at me

I don’t understand but I run

[Chorus]

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

I said just stand up

Don’t have to stand down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

Don’t put your hands up

Don’t put your head down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

I said just stand up

Don’t have to stand down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

Don’t put your hands up

Don’t put your head down

[Bridge]

Cause I was pill popping them drugs

I den came back with them thugs

I den came back on them beats

I den came back with them bloods

Police pointing guns right at me

I don’t understand what I’ve done

White men staring looking at me

I don’t understand but I run

[Chorus]

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

I said just stand up

Don’t have to stand down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

Don’t put your hands up

Don’t put your head down

[Verse 2]

Another nigga shot and ran down

I don’t understand the purpose of this plan now

White cops killing niggas getting slammed down

Shots fired there’s another nigga man down

So we den came back to be great

I ain’t got time to just waste

I was working hard on myself

I was working hard to be straight

Took some time to work on my wealth

Took some time to work on my faith

Prayed to God and asked for some help

He told me that I’ll be ok

Cause I was pill popping them drugs

I den came back with them thugs

I den came back on them beats

I den came back with them bloods

Police pointing guns right at me

I don’t understand what I’ve done

White men staring looking at me

I don’t understand but I run

[Chorus]

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

I said just stand up

Don’t have to stand down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

Don’t put your hands up

Don’t put your head down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

I said just stand up

Don’t have to stand down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

Don’t put your hands up

Don’t put your head down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

I said just stand up

Don’t have to stand down

You need to stand up

Don’t need to stand down

Don’t put your hands up

Don’t put your head down
