Lyrics
I literally jumped outta my bed this morning and when both of my feet hit the floor, I heard God say "Stand." I searched franticly for my pen and my pad so I could capture what it was my Father wanted to say to me. "Stand." I paused and just stood there. "Ok,... now Imma tell you what you're standing for..." You're standing for that little girl in a wheelchair whose mother has no healthcare cause she's not exactly on welfare But she makes too much for Medicaid And if she buys insurance the rent won't get paid So she prays that her daughter stays in remission and takes on a second job to afford the prescriptions So my daughter YOU stand and break the lid off this mystery of how our people keep dying in this healthscare industry And maybe then we'll take part in this political process and bring our elderly out of medical distress And when we're finally fighting cuz we won't take no more... I'll introduce you to the next group you're standing for: You're standing for those living with AIDS those dying with AIDS so somebody can get paid off a disease that was man-made And don't sit there like I just told you some news Cuz I'm not Joe and these aren't Blues Clues It's not the disease that displeases my spirit It's that there's a cure and they won't let us near it You may think I'm crazy or don't wanna believe me But how does a celebrity live 15 years with HIV? "Oh, oh, it's MAGIC, ya knowww..." Hell No! Either he never had it or there IS a cure! But you can be sure it won't reach us unless we open our mouths and put up a fuss We gotta raise our awareness and Stop - Being - Careless... By this time my feet were burning and I was ready to run But the Lord said "Stand. I'm not quite done. There's one more group I want you to represent And they're the youngest soldiers I've ever sent. There's a generation that's rising up And they're filled with fire and they'll never give up And the enemy knows this and he's ready to buck! He's poisoning their minds and calling it vaccination, preventative medication, but all I see is eradication. A healthy child gets shots and winds up autistic Yo, I hope you heard me people. Man, Please don't miss this A healthy child gets shots and winds up autistic Another soldier down, cuz he's now silent, but gifted. So God, you want me to stand, and expose all of the plans That the enemy's masking... Lord, is that what you're askin? God looked me dead in the face, and said, "You thought I was asking?"
