[Intro]

Yeah!

Lazerbeak!

P.O.S.!

Doomtree!

Stand up!

Yeah!

Stand up!

Stand up!

Crazy, this is before it's bent

You know, rappin’ and shit

Okay

Lazerbeak's going crazy!


[Verse 1: P.O.S.]

Yo, it’s funny when the movement makes the mainstream

But still don’t do shit but bruise a dream

Could use a new level of youth on scene

Truth is the kids are losin’ steam and, uh

They say it’s a shame to undermine it

We’re talkin’ about the most hated machine of all time, it's, uh

They’re playin’ a game with most of our lives

But in November, who had the patience to stand in line?

It’s all plain insane, they come to realize it

It’s big pain, stalk a flock of sheep

Talk’s cheap, when I shock 'em

Used to want to street fight like Blanka

Now I just pray I don’t lose my fuckin head like boss Tanaka

Rock a black bandana too tight

Black man with the posture of a punk cast aside ‘cause I ain't white

I’m patriotic like a fox

I hung my flag high, but must’ve misunderstood when Beanie Sigel was like

”Hey, yo, light that shit the fuck up!”

I ain’t white, and there’s laws for that

So I use color-safe bleach at the laundromat

And deal with it, you see how my squad react

We keep our hands warm with the damn Patriot Act

We burn pages, matter of fact we burn back

It was written as an outright attack

See, you can’t fight a feeling. I feel terrified

There’s a war against me, my friends, my fam, my pride

My life, my job, my likes and like-minded

Folks are like, “Psh” like they just don’t mind it

So I’m cool, right?

They wag the dog. We catch the lipstick

What kind of city plumber thought that he could make these old and rusty pipes fit?

Well, they don’t. I’m catching the drip

I’ll practice holdin’ my breath, then sink with the ship

It goes…

Hands up, if you're broken but find a way to stand up

Give it up, if you're hopin’ to never give it up

Hands up, if you're broken but find a way to stand up

Give it up, if you're hopin’ to never give it up (Doom)

Hands up, if you're broken but find a way to stand up (Tree)

Give it up, if you're hopin’ to never give it up (Doom)

Hands up, if you're broken but find a way to stand up (Tree)

Give it up, if you're hopin’ to never give it up (Doom)

Stand up, so we know who’s here, (Tree)

Who wants to open up the machine and rage against the gears?

Come on!

Hands up, if you're broken but find a way to stand up

Give it up, if you're hopin’ to never give it up

Stand up, so we know who’s here,(Tree)

Who wants to open up the machine and rage against the gears?

Hands up, if you're broken but find a way to stand up

Give it up, if you're hopin’ to never give it up

Stand up, so we know who’s here,(Tree)

Who wants to open up the machine and rage against the gears?

Come On!

Doom! Tree!

Doom! Tree!

Stand up!

Stand up!

Stand up!

Stand up!

Stand up!
