Stand Up

[Verse 1: Tabs (AKA Taboo)]
I fight for hope while they try to block my sunshine
Damn right life's a joke, but I never got the punchline
I rep for the unsigned who went numb 'cause they done time
I got the soul of the survivor, of course it courses through my bloodline
My foes are numerous, it's humorous though ‘cause no
Cumulus could ever block my luminous glow
Bless the union of souls in control of their own destiny
Hoping our bone density can hold this globe's intensity
There's a reason I'm still alive, fighting demons for king
Of the landfill anthill, screaming, “I will survive”
Millions have tried and died, but I defy the odds. I'll part
The sky when I'm there and stare into the eyes of God
When I descend from Cloud Nine on some downtime
Every flow blessed with a celestial glow to leave you outshined
You can't stop this obnoxious confidence
Concocting toxins to spread that launches through the populace
There's no rebuttal to the struggle, I face this trouble fearless
It was embedded by my old man and both strands of my double helix
And I'm down to brawl, so you know who to call when all has gone bad
Shedding blood, sweat, and tears for my peers and fallen comrades
Threw Zion on the lion, no denying I am blessed
Defying death, screaming, “Freedom,” with the last of my dying breath
The stakes are high, and I know there's ways to survive, but I embrace
The faith that awaits us 'cause they'll never take us alive

[Hook: Tabs (AKA Taboo)]
Stand up for the rights of the people fighting the evil
Knowledge is bright, so follow the light where it leads you and stand up
For every act of injustice
Every cat that's been fucked with by the traps that attract the puppets
Stand up for the meek, weak, and feeble
Let our speech defeat these weasels 'cause they cheat and speak deceitful
Stand up for all that can’t but wish they could
So lend a hand if you would when my camp is in your hood

[Verse 2: Coal (AKA Coal Cash)]
The nocturnal
Sunshine, crop circle, universal punchline
The square in the circle, head-first [?] at the frontline
The one-time eternal [?] decay in the relay
The beat-blazed infernos, it's the verbals of my DJ
And we lay foundation for creations fortified
While my soul's retaliation fights Satan for all your lives
The Lord provides salvation, salutation from the spirit
My lyrics bring death to Masons, cremation from when they hear it
Death? I will not fear it 'cause I'm near it on the daily
So nail me to a cross before the crosses nail Israelis
My thoughts impale you squarely, and I'm barely tryna run through
I'll be standing with the Son when it's time to come and hunt you
I'm the one who the young knew as their protector
With death for Catholic priests that became child molesters
This style's pressure, so it's: God bless the black flag
You'll never drag me back, the blades will crack if you back-stab
The tracks mad on-point, I blaze joints but never smoke reds
Won't beg for lending hands 'cause I'd rather stand on broke legs
My throat plagues the land, the lampstand hand of God
Strip facades upon the damned to contraband the land of Nod
Expand the squad God has given, living righteous vs. the lightless
To incite this provision when we're driven into crisis
Christ is the vision, and He's living in my temple
And that was to brace the prison to envision our potential

Let our speech defeat these weasels 'cause they cheat and speak deceitful
Stand up for all that can’t but wish they could
