Peter Kings - Stand Up Lyrics




Yeah
C'mon
Uh

Rest In Peace to my brothers, I'm talking black and brown, uh
Deceased with the others, no longer 'round
At least physically cause spiritually we gon' hold it down
We gon' let that shit be known, every city, every town
Yo, we tired of seeing people of color murdered by police
Think they holy than thou, y'all got us pouring out these 40's
For the heavy amounts of people we done lost from toting
Killers say they protecting and serving, act like they controlling
But they ain't controlling shit, we the ones that take a hit
Got that badge on they chest so they think it's cool to scratch that itch
Of putting people to rest long as our blood line different
It's like they having a fest of coming at us militant
I be like f*ck that, f*ck them, and f*ck you if one of those
Racists, white supremacists, trump supporters, don't f*ck with none of those
It's time we let it be known, can't keep doing this shit on the low
Cause look where it done got us, in the same place that we was before, uh

It's time to stand up, it's time to amp up
March the streets til the whole city jammed up
Won't be the first time that y'all put me in them handcuffs
Won't be the first time they pointed a strap at me while they yelling hands up

It's time to stand up, it's time to amp up
March the streets til the whole city jammed up
Won't be the first time that y'all put me in them handcuffs
Won't be the first time they pointed a strap at me while they yelling hands up

Plenty of murders police committed
Course they said he was lurking and had a deadly weapon hidden
But after shooting and searching they ain't find nothing on the premise
Still judges let em walk free as if they wasn't a menace
This that country that we live in, the land of opportunities
Opportunities for an officer to come tearing up communities
Same officers, if I spit in they face bet ya ass they end up suing me
Be the same damn officers making families prepare a eulogy
They hate to see the unity of darker skin like it's a sin
Kill us off so brutally, they tryna stop our oxygen
Tryna keep us out of society while we lookin in
Shit is colder than them wooden boxes that they put is in
Rest In Peace to my brothers, promise y'all ain't die in vain
It's a tragedy y'all had go that way, it's not okay
Got y'all mothers crying in the cemetery where you lay
It's time to stand up for our people, show em we ain't come to play

It's time to stand up, it's time to amp up
March the streets til the whole city jammed up
Won't be the first time that y'all put me in them handcuffs
Won't be the first time they pointed a strap at me while they yelling hands up

It's time to stand up, it's time to amp up
March the streets til the whole city jammed up
Won't be the first time that y'all put me in them handcuffs
Won't be the first time they pointed a strap at me while they yelling hands up

It's time to stand up
Yeah
Uh, uh
Peter Kings baby
