Goapele Stand Lyrics

Catch me if you can
Understand it's a new day
Life is real, but we still gotta get paid
Take it back to the simple things
Like level out the f*cked up bullshit games
Stand up to a man, yes I can take my place
Don't let that chessmate fool ya
Put your picture in a frame
It's time to step into this double dutch game

Just stand up for something
Don't fall back for nothing
If we don't stand for something
We'll fall for anything

Life is passing by and it's not gonna sit right
When you witness the truth but then believe the lies
I'm a mama, freedom fighter, I'm a queen
But if I don't speak up then tell me what it means
And while justice keeps on fading away
Greed and fear keep on making mistakes
Police against the citizens, the troops against the youth
And what amount is legal—tell me what we're gonna do Just stand up for something
Don't fall back for nothing
If we don't stand for something
We'll fall for anything
Just stand up for something
Don't fall back for nothing
If we don't stand for something
We'll fall for anything

Dream makers, heart breakers
Freedom fighters, not you haters
True believers, motivators
To rise up now
Yeah there's a new day right outside your door
If you open it you'll see what's in store
Yeah there's a new day right outside your door
If you open it you'll see what's in store

Just stand up for something
Don't fall back for nothing
If we don't stand for something
We'll fall for anything
Just stand up for something
Don't fall back for nothing
If we don't stand for something
We'll fall for anything
