Stand Your Ground

Everyone'll try to put you down

Everyone'll try to tell you no

If you've got a dream inside

You're the only one who can know

Don't let nobody own ya

Just say "One day I'll show ya"

Revenge'll sure feel nice

If inside you've paid the price -

CHORUS:

You know it and you've gotta stand your ground

You've earned it - no one can cut you down

They'll try to get what they can

When you're strong, everyone's your friend

Guard the jewel you've found

You've gotta stand your ground

Come on everybody clap your hands

Doesn't it feel good to take a stand?

Music is my only release

Gotta fight for peace

Fight for the beat

Whether you want for yourself or for others

Stand up for your sisters and brothers

Just do what you wanna do

No one can say what's right for you - Oooo!

CHORUS

Yo, Fred! Check this one out!

RAP:

You know you feel helpless on your own

Swallow your pride - don't you go it alone

Don't you run away from what is right

Stand your ground - stay there and fight

The only police are in your mind

You gotta work - now work now double time

'Cause runnin' only lets 'em get the best of you

So stand your ground

Do watcha gotta do.....

Yo, Ira!

(You know it) You've gotta stand your ground

(you've gotta stand your ground)

(You've earned it)

No one can cut you down, down, down, down

They'll try to get what they can

When you're strong, everyone's your friend

Guard the jewel you've found

You've gotta (you know it) stand (stand)

You've gotta stand your ground

You've gotta stand (stand, stand) yeah!

Stand your ground

They'll try, they'll try, they'll try

Guard the jewel you've found

Listen up, listen up (listen up)

Stand your ground
