We all ready for change
Proving it through our actions
This the revolution to see the beauty in blackness
Every man, woman, and child
Say it loud in the spirit of James Brown
I'm black and I'm proud
Never let your head hang low or feel defeated
The media rewrite the story of how we been treated
For generations, people take our kindness for weakness
Centuries of prejudice, treacherous hangings and beatings
Still we keep a smile on our faces
Our spirit you can't crack it or break it
We bow our heads and say a prayer for racists
That whatever got you drowned in hatred
The Lord will take it, replace it with empathy for the mistakes you been making
It's something special 'bout that black girl magic
Yea, classy, bougie, ratchet
Girl you the whole package
Young king, believe in your dream by any means
No matter the way it seems
Keep holding your self esteem
And say it, I can breathe, I can breathe
We would rather die on our feet than give up and live on our knees
Put our fist in the air to fight the corrupt and grotesque
Unified through every picket sign and protest
Every injustice, from sitting on the back of the busses
To police that run up on us and try to cuff us
So don't cry, just sing
You are not a burden
We are all true kings and queens
Now let me hear you sing
They ask me am I fearless
My sleepless nights are never tearless
Oh
Stand with me
Oh
God's there
He will surely hear this
But I could lose it all
My faith is being tested tested tested
Oh-oh
Stand with me
Put your fist in the air
Put your fist in the air
Put your fist in the air
Won't you stand
Stand with me
Put your fist in the air
Put your fist in the air
Put your fist in the air
Won't you stand
Stand with me
Put your fist in the air
I know it's hard
To stand for something
When the world is against you
Let me say it again
I know it's hard
To stand for something
When the world is against you
But I got one fist in the air
Got one fist in the air
Got one fist in the air
Won't you stand
With me
Put your fist in the air
Put your fist in the air
Put your fist in the air
Won't you stand
(Won't you stand)
With me
Put your fist in the air
Come on and stand with me
Won't you stand with me
Won't you stand
Come on and stand
Why don't you stand
Why don't you stand
Come stand with me
Put your fist in the air
(One, two, three, come on)
Come on and stand with me
Won't you stand with me
Won't you stand
Come on and stand
Why don't you stand
Why don't you stand
Stand with me
(Get on your feet, everybody claps your hands, come on)
Come on and stand with me
Won't you stand with me
Won't you stand
Come on and stand
Why don't you stand
Why don't you stand
Come stand with me
(Yea, say it again)
Come on and stand with me
Won't you stand with me
Won't you stand
Come on and stand
Why don't you stand
Why don't you stand
Stand with me
Put your fist in the air
We stand together
For all those who've lost their lives to racism, inequality, and injustice
We love you and you will never be forgotten
Your memory will live on forever
Put your fist in the air
