Stand Up!

Lyrics by C. Hurst IV and S. Winter Chaney

I won’t be defeated in this life

I won’t be defeated

It’s not in my vocab it would drag me down

I gotta stay above the ground

I won’t be defeated

 

Losing not an option

 I make a concoction

Of words

That spark a movement nobody’s stoppin’

I won’t be defeated

My special brand of rap is needed

My pen and pad my chemistry kit

I’ve exceeded 

All expectations

Create foundations

That support massive structures

I’m always aimin’

For the highest level

And my motto be

Never settle

My motive is win

Like Olympians with medals

Correct error in my ways

Find a way through this maze

Called life

Evenly keeled experience’s made

Me the man I am

Spit flows that break down dams

I do what I do regardless

I don’t give a damn

Diffuse situations

With my wit and my patience

In the end my lines

Will be scrolls to the ancient

That shut down the hate

And generate love

Professor H signin’ off

From the cold dirty glove

 

I won’t be defeated

In this life

I wont be defeated

It not in my vocab’

It would drag me down

I gotta stay above the ground

I won’t be defeated

 

We all fall 

But we gotta get up

We gotta stand up 

We gotta stand tough

And above the hate

And participate in the game of love, community, unity and create opportunity

Rise above the crime and the injustice

Share the power of love which is lack thereof

The corruption and hate

The government playing games

I’m seein’ some bad things in the city that I love

We ain’t giving up on Detroit city baby!

We ain’t given up on Detroit city baby!

 

We won’t be defeated in this life

We won’t be defeated

It’s not in our vocab 

It would drag us down

We gotta stay above the ground

We won’t be defeated

 

Stand for your rights

Stand for your life

 

Defeated, won’t be defeated

 

Stand for your rights

Stand for your life
