Stand Up Feat. Fred Leone by Mau Power

Stand Up Feat. Fred Leone was produced by Trails for the Documentary "Looky Looky Here Comes Cookey"; which was a part of the modern day songlines addressing the history of that arrival of Captain Jame Cook to Australia.

Stand Up is an anthem that calls for the people as a collective to rise up and stand for what they value and believe in. It is a mantra of self empowerment to the conscious warriors that stands for their people.

STAND UP FEAT. FRED LEONE (LYRICS)

Intro:

One time we gonna stand stand up/
One time we gonna stand up stand up, shout out shout out loud/

One time we gonna stand stand up/
One time we gonna stand up stand up, shout out shout out loud/

Vs1,

Freedom Declared is rare/
Prepare a new age mantra/
A nation remains in chains/
With its propaganda/

Maybe the knowledge be illogic/
In a nations banter/
Maybe the problem is/
The current knowledge is the cancer/

Huh, I spit a verse/
From a forbidden journal/
Ancient flow/
Designed in the poems to serve you/

The naked truth/
The “Endeavour” done became full circle/
Virtuous pen transcends/
So Respect the virtue/

Huh/
They Used Possession as their greatest weapon/
Policies followed/
Disguised in the term protection/

Protect from who/
Who protecting me from you/
When our truth is called a lie/
And your lies becomes your truth/
What followed/

Blueprints of annihilation/
Stolen Generation/
The death of First Nations/
PEOPLE/

Australia hidden misery/
Unlock our black history/
And raise your damn fist with me/
MY PEOPLE/

Chorus:

One time we gonna stand up/
MP: One time we gonna stand up - Yeah/
One time we gonna stand up/
Shout out Shout out loud - Yeah/

One time we gonna stand up/
MP: One time we gonna stand up - Yeah/
One time we gonna stand up/
Shout out Shout out loud - Yeah/

Vs2,

Now with that disdain/
On Your Membrane/
Came the pain/
That's why we opted for a date change/

Peace will never be the same/
Purge with Flames/
The truth amongst the brave/
The vision becomes the change/

And in this reign/
Transform the pain/
To something close to light/
Emancipate the mental chains/

Free a generation/
To seek healing not the rage/
Shift of Consciousness/
Now Watch it flow in with the waves/

Zenadh Kes done sent me/
To take the centre stage/
Spirits of my warriors/
Transcending through my blade/

This is a conscious movement/
A righteous movement/
Black excellence be the reasons of why I do this/
What follows/

Blueprints of a greater nation/
A conscious Generation/
The rise of first nations/
PEOPLE/

Australia new destiny/
Re-written history/
Now Raise your damn fist with me/
MY PEOPLE/

Bridge: (Fred Leone)

From the warm waters of the Torres Strait/
To the mainland clans here we stand/
Take heed to the knowledge of our old people/
And the strength that they have/
