Relief In Rhyme

I stand for a conscience, do what I believe in
I don’t stand for monsters or the greed and
I’m hoping for freedom, ignore the lies that feed in
I stand for an environment that all of us can breathe in
Stand for a reason, we’ve all got a purpose
When I’m dropping verses, the female’s not worthless
The right to worship, satisfy your soul’s needs
Equal opportunities for all until our goal is reached
No one feeling lonely, living on the cold streets
Let us give a voice to those in fear who won’t speak
Hope for the weak, an inclusive society
Stand for free speech, the media won’t lie to me
We all have the right to be alive where our minds are free
Why won’t the crying cease? I stand for care
I can’t stand labels, the politics we wear
There’s enough for the world’s need, why can’t we share?
Refrain:
(Tell me what you stand for)
(Do you have the strength to, to demand more?)
(Tell me what you stand for)
(Tell me what you stand for)
(Do you have the strength to, to demand more?)
(Tell me what you stand for)
Verse 2 (Melodiq):
Project kids need show the way
Trailer park kids need a place to play
Not worrying about hard times
Bringing relief written down in these rhymes
We all need space to grow
Let the spirit fill you up from head to toe
Putting things in the proper perspective
Uplifting souls — the final objective
I’m gonna do my part and much more
This soulful hip-hop tool
So we can be one nation under a groove
As I show and prove
There’s more in life than material things
Let us pray for a better day
So we can live as brothers and sisters
Always know that God is wit’cha
Refrain:
(Tell me what you stand for)
(Do you have the strength to, to demand more?)
(Tell me what you stand for)
(Tell me what you stand for)
(Do you have the strength to, to demand more?)
(Tell me what you stand for)
Verse 3 (Praverb):
I stand for equality, I gotta be equal
I stand for democracy, freedom to the people
With my daily earnings I gotta keep it legal
Not saying I’m a king but on this mic I am regal
Vacate the crown and throne
I’m on Shakespeare status
Hit you with astounding poems
They say the bird left his nest, well he found his home
I would probably die if I knew the sound was gone
I can spit about religion, spit about politics
Spit about my visions or spit about the obvious
I never spit about the negative
I represent the elements
A black man doing something positive
A role model standing tall in this land of deceit
I’m outspoken, y’all still planning your speech?
It’s Praverb teamed with Paradox and Pat D
The beat is jazzy so you know how ill the raps be
Refrain:
(Tell me what you stand for)
(Do you have the strength to, to demand more?)
(Tell me what you stand for)
