STAND UP


Written by: David, Veira

Chorus
J-E-S-U-S those are the letters to erase your stress
All in together now put him to the test
He will, help you, clean your, mess
2 xs
Stand up, if you want to life
Got to keep it positive
Looking for something to give
Keep on striving

1st
Well I'm a set this one thing straight for sure
If you're perfect then head back out the door
All church folk at one point broke the law
Why call me a sinner like he love's you more
Didn't he break bread spread with the poor
So I'm talking to the drug dealer time for war
Stand up; take your life back set it on the right track
You don't have to sell crack, Spanish speaking, White, Black
Rise, come on open your eyes
Don't you see were suffering steady rapping lies
Everybody's gun packing and smacking guys
Leaving females broken with blacken eyes
Tell me what's the repercussion of stacking pies
Death or jail; come on start acting wise
If you want to take it there, everybody make it clear
Put a hand up in the air and sing it with me now

Chorus

2nd
First let me say it's the hardest thing you'll ever do
In the light it's a fight, I'm telling you
Got to take old thoughts and turn them into new
Totally contrary to your point of view
Stand up; do away with lying keep it all true
Stand up; you will conquer anything that you pursue
Stand up; anyone who wants to make a break though
Put it all at stake to, be part of the crew, few chosen
Careful of the one's that stick there nose in the air
He don't care yah, no need for posing
Drug dealer, dun drugs, been shot, bust slugs
Church folk, street thugs, dog, cat, roach, bugs
Come as you are, everyone's a star in his eyes
Drop happy meals pick the super size
If you want to take it there, everybody make it clear
Put a hand up in the air and sing it with me now

Chorus

3rd
Stand up; if you're sick of all the tears and pain
Stand up; tired walking through the pouring rain
Stand up; call on him he'll relieve the strain
Stand up; recognize there's a lot to gain
Stand up; just enter in his courts with praise
Stand up; he'll amaze brighten up your days
Stand up; stop stress just put him to the test
He will clean up all your mess, North, South, East, West just rise
