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
