Lyrics

-Spoken- you know sometimes a person hears about something that they feel just isn't right, I believe in these circumstances one should express themselves stand up and fight, organize shake some hands, make a plan, and take a stand... Chorus If you’ve got something that you need to express, Something to get off your chest.. Take a stand Everybody needs a little release So stand up and unleash the beat… take a stand Soap box if you have to Or just write it out if that’s you… take a stand I aint messin’, there’s nothing better than expression, Which is why I’m in this session to take a stand Verse I Write the words to what disturbs you, and I’ll do the same, this is usually my aim because I don’t waste a lot of time talking about nothing, too much on my mind for me not to say something, every track has been designed for the people to be bumping, every beat and every rhyme that I am pumping, there is always something I can say, always a message that I can convey, I don’t necessarily mean that I must in every song, but with so much junk going on, I can’t help but point out what I see as wrong, I will keep addressing the problems until they are gone, words can be so powerful and strong, so speak the words over the beats you’ve heard, make them listen, make it your mission, to state your position, for the world to hear, just be sincere, nothing to fear just make your message clear! Chorus If you’ve got something that you need to express, Something to get off your chest.. Take a stand Everybody needs a little release So stand up and unleash the beat… take a stand Soap box if you have to Or just write it out if that’s you… take a stand I aint messin’, there’s nothing better than expression, Which is why I’m in this session to take a stand Verse II My aim is not sway your opinion, let me say from the beginning that I am a straight man, But for anybody’s rights I will take a stand, come on bigotry is bigotry, and bigotry is something I will never understand, yes I know “adam and eve not adam and steve” is the theory you believe, but how are we to legislate when we allegedly separate the church and state? So where’s the debate? Many things being debated, many people being hated, poor people still puppets of the rich, people’s minds are made up until their media outlet causes them to switch, you can compare what you are doing to the tea boycott but the truth is the same it is not, you know I can’t help but notice the fact, that I never heard them say “take out country back….” until the president was black! Chorus If you’ve got something that you need to express, Something to get off your chest.. Take a stand Everybody needs a little release So stand up and unleash the beat… take a stand Soap box if you have to Or just write it out if that’s you… take a stand I aint messin’, there’s nothing better than expression, Which is why I’m in this session to take a stand Verse III Can you believe that women are still being stoned? Can you believe that there are families in mexico who are scared to leave their homes? At night because they don’t know what might happen, so they stay indoors, is this really something we as people should ignore, you know in some places rape is used as weapon, even females too young to mention, yo this world is diseased and it’s got an infection, you know certain members of my family can be pulled over for the looks, this has always been the case but now not just by cops that are crooks, It’s legal to stop anybody who looks illegal, so much for being treated in a way that is equal, freedom of religion is a concept that we must obey, it’s even what the founding fathers would say, so don’t tell anybody where and when they can pray! Chorus If you’ve got something that you need to express, Something to get off your chest.. Take a stand Everybody needs a little release So stand up and unleash the beat… take a stand Soap box if you have to Or just write it out if that’s you… take a stand I aint messin’, there’s nothing better than expression, Which is why I’m in this session to take a stand
