Stand Up For Something – Andra Day (feat. Common) (from “Marshall” soundtrack)
By
You can have all the money in your hands All the possessions anyone can ever have But it’s all worthless treasure True worth is only measured not by what you got But what you got in your heart You can have, you can have everything But what does it, what does it mean
It all means nothing If you don’t stand up for something You can’t just talk the talk You got to walk that walk, yes you do It all means nothing If you don’t stand up for something And I’ll stand up for you And I’ll stand up for you Yes I will, yes I will
You do the best to do the best that you can do Then you can look in the mirror Proud of who’s looking back at you Define the life you’re living Not by what you take but what you’re giving And if you bet on love, there’s no way you’ll ever lose Take a stand, make a stand for what’s right It’s always worth, always worth the fight
It all means nothing If you don’t stand up for something You can’t just talk the talk You got to walk that walk, yes you do It all means nothing If you don’t stand up for something And I’ll stand up for you
Self respect, dignity If that’s all you got Then you got all you need And without that you don’t have a thing
[Common:] Rise up, love, lift your hands I stand with you cuz I understand Ain’t here to judge, just to take a stand The greater plan’s the Creator’s plan Let’s all rise like the day began Reach out and touch with the Savior’s hand On rock we stand like this native land Let the ways of love be the ways of man
It all means nothing If you don’t stand for something You can’t just talk the talk You got to walk that walk, yes you do It all means nothing If you don’t stand up for something And I’ll stand up for you (Stand up, stand for you) I’ll stand up for you (Stand up) And I’ll stand up for you (Stand up, stand for you, stand up) Stand up for you Yes I will, yes I will
