Stand Up by Joseph Sarenhes Lyrics
[Intro]
Listen
Do you really think I'm gonna stay silent
All this blood and crimes, now who's violent
It's a genocide, they tried to divide, to put us aside
You should have known we are resilient
[Verse 1]
I'm talking about the nation of the wisdom
The real first ones to be here (The first)
The history books are dumb (Indeed)
And same for the ones next year (Respectfully)
Boarding schools were there to save us (Murderers)
Now we find dead kids in the ground (That's fact)
Oh, you shared that in you story uh?
Well, we still find dead kids in the ground
Bloody, bloody Canada
Tell me how many more secrets do you hide (A lot)
Pretty, pretty Kanata
Tell me how you can proudly look at this flag uh? (I can not)
[Verse 2]
Now it's so cool to be angry nowadays
It's on my feed but for how more many days
Cause you can't win if you just fight for a phase
And we must win for the next kids to be raised
All this bloodshed on the CV of the land
And the Natives got no justice but we stand
Politicians and governments tryna rent (Uh, yeah)
Now it's land back every new day until the end (Uh, yeah)
[Bridge]
Every time I feel this trauma
I hear the drums and the voices getting louder
I know it's the call from my powerful ancestors
And every time they tell me
[Chorus]
I must stand up
We must stand up
I must stand up
You must stand, and every time they tell me
I must stand up (Uh, yeah, uh, yeah)
We must stand up (Yeah, we must, yeah, I must)
I must stand up (Uh, yeah, uh, yeah)
You must stand (Yeah, we must, yeah, skoden)
[Verse 3]
To this day we stand as a nation (We do)
Even though they keep stealing us (They do)
I'm tired of theses white politicians
Always looking for a way to buy us (Ouh-ouh-ouh-ouh)
We ain't for sale, your plan will fail
Tell me how you're gonna put a spirit in a jail
Not the end of a tale, we will prevail
You're looking like a dog who's tryna catch his own tail (You really do)
[Verse 4]
I'm talking about millions of deaths
But why it's not written in this crap (For what)
So, since they know about it
Why don't they educate about that (For real)
They might have a reason then (Right)
They don't want woke citizens (Nah)
Fellow cheeps who keep it zen (Yeah)
Good, good Canadians
Nah, nah, never again (Never)
[Verse 5]
What about all these Native womens that are being kidnaped and killed uh? (Mmh)
What about all these communities that ain't got no water to drink uh? (Mmh)
What about the systemic racism that apparently don't exist uh? (Mmh)
What about the, what about the, what about
Canada never gave a shit
[Bridge]
Every time I feel this trauma
I hear the drums and the voices getting louder
I know it's the call from my powerful ancestors
And every time they tell me
[Pre-Chorus]
I must stand up (You feel the drum in you body?)
We must stand up (That's the heartbeat of our ancestors)
I must stand up (They are with us, they always been and they'll always be. So, if you allow yourself to connect to their souls)
You must stand (You'll become unstoppable, and all they asking in return, is to fight)
[Chorus]
I must stand up (You can be sure I will, you can be sure I will, you can be sure I will)
We must stand up (Ouh, we must)
I must stand up (I must, we must, I must, you must)
You must stand, and every time they tell me
I must stand up (Time, every, every, every time, every, every, every)
We must stand up (Time, every, every, every, time, every, every, every)
I must stand up (Time, every, every, every time, every, every, every)
You must stand (Time every every every time, every every every)
[Outro]
Time, every, every, every time, every, every, every
Time, every, every, every time, every, every, every
Stand up
