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 (Simama) (Simama) (Simama) (Simama) (Simama)
