Stand up, stand up for your sisters Stand up for us, please don't fight against them Let your words be kind, let your words be full of love Stop the violence, stand up for your sisters
Relationships can be complicated We all know that So don't use it as an excuse To say it's your place to set your woman straight Like you're without sin, and should be first to cast a stone
You say can't you see I didn't lay my hands on her face Isn't she lucky, isn't she lucky But you call her every name in the book and desecrate the God in her, then proclaim your undying love
My brothers please, stand up, stand up for your sisters Stand up for them, don't fight against them Let your words be kind, Let you words be full of love Stop the violence, stand up for your sisters
My brothers I know that it's not easy To say what's on your mind, provide, protect and guide But when you don't share that heavy load It's your woman and your seed that pay the price
If you find yourself in a state of mind And you know that nothing good could come of it Just walk away, just walk away
