Stand up

Intro] Yeah, I was walkin' down the street, Got my head held high, feelin' that beat. But there shadows lurkin’, tryin’ to steal my light, Had to stand up, gotta face the night. [Verse 1] A bully came at me with a grimy look, Said, "Give me your cash, or I’ll take this hook." Heart racing fast, but I ain't about to fold, I seen too many stories where the weak turn cold. His words were empty, just a mask he wore, I remember days when I was down before. Now it's my turn, yeah, I’ll rise to the call, Can’t let nobody bring me down, I’ll never fall. [Chorus] You got a bully in the darkness, but I’ll shine bright, Try to rob my spirit, but I’ll fight tonight. Face the fear, let the truth unfold, I’m stronger than the stories that the streets have told. [Hook] Yeah, I’ll rise, I’ll fight, face the night, Ain't no fear in my heart, yeah, I'm ready to ignite. Yeah, I’ll rise, I’ll fight, face the night, Ain't no stopping me now, I’m ready for the fight. [Interlude] (Spoken) Life's about struggle, life’s about pain, But when you walk tall, you’re breaking the chain. [Verse 2] They thought they could take me, play me like a game, But mercy isn’t weakness; it’s how I find my flame. Streetlights flicker, but my vision's clear, Take a stand now, ain't no room for fear. Got my crew with me, we ready to ride, Unity's the weapon, together we divide. When the bullies try to flex, think they hold the crown, We’ll show 'em what it means to turn it all around. [Chorus] You got a bully in the darkness, but I’ll shine bright, Try to rob my spirit, but I’ll fight tonight. Face the fear, let the truth unfold, I’m stronger than the stories that the streets have told. [Bridge] Stand up tall, keep your head in the game, When they try to push, don’t give 'em no fame. We’re the warriors, never backin' down, In this life battle, you wear your own crown. [Outro] So when you see a bully, remember what I say, Your heart’s your fortress, don’t let 'em take away. Face the night, keep your dreams in sight, We’re unstoppable warriors, forever ready to fight. Yeah, I walked that road, faced the fear, Now I'm stronger than ever, gotta make it clear. [Interlude] Keep the strength alive, got it in my veins, Through struggles and fights, I’ll break these chains. My spirit’s unyielding, can't you see? In this life’s battleground, I'm fighting to be free. So if you face a bully, look ‘em dead in the eye, Don’t let ‘em steal your dreams, reach up to the sky. There’s power in your voice, so let it resound, Together we can rise, and turn this around.
