The Flag Stands Strong

Verse 1) Yo, mic check, one two, hear the truth I'm droppin' Seein' red, white, and blue, got my heart just stoppin' Not from fear, but a fire deep inside When I see that fabric burn, nowhere left to hide From the anger, from the pain, disrespect I can't ignore That's our history in flames, what are they fighting for? (Chorus) 'Cause the flag stands strong, through the wind and through the rain Every star, every stripe, washin' out the bitter stain Of the hate that tries to tear us down But that banner's still alive, in every city, every town It's a symbol, it's a promise, of the freedom that we claim And you can burn it if you want, but you won't erase its name! (Verse 2) From battlefields of old, to struggles of today That flag has seen it all, it led us on our way Through triumph and tears, through the darkest times Represented hopes, outlasted all the crimes Of oppression, division, tryin' to break the unity But that cloth still waves high, for all the world to see! (Outro) So next time that you see it, unfurled against the blue Remember what it stands for, what it means to me and you. Our flag stands strong, yeah, let the message ring out clear Through the joy and through the struggle, banish all the fear! This one's for the fallen, for the lives that they gave, Protecting this flag, so our freedoms could wave.
