Get Up Stand Up
Ms. Dynamite Lyrics

get up stand up, make a difference
Take action and make a change in the world.

one shout is louder than a thousand whispers
A big impact can be made with even one person's voice.

each breath brings death closer
Life is short and everyone is getting closer to death with every moment.

what breath u got left, make the most of
Make the most out of the time you have left on this earth.

till your life is over
Make positive changes and live life to the fullest until the very end.

sieze the time, life don't pause that record
Take advantage of the time you have as life does not stop for anyone.

no rewind, one time to hear that section
Life cannot be relived or redone, so make the most of each moment as it happens.

hear opinions, but you've gotta rule in your kingdom
Listen to others' opinions, but ultimately make your own decisions and take control of your own life.

make choices that cause you to realise your vision
Make decisions that are in alignment with your goals and dreams.

you don't show it, but you can do it, blood i know it
You may not always show your strength, but you have the power to make a difference.

don't flow it but we still both thug poets
Even if you don't always express yourself, you still have the spirit to make a positive impact.

raised by momma, nuff cut offs, gas and electrics
Raised by a strong mother figure, having endured financial struggles and difficulties.

certain birthdays I ain't get shit, but it's cool mums forget it
Having experienced disappointment on some birthdays, but being able to forgive and move on due to the love and support of one's mother.

your love, the only reason that i ain't sleep
A mother's love provides comfort and security, allowing one to rest easier.

only reason at these pricks I ain't poppin' off clips
The love and support of friends and family prevent one from turning to violence in difficult situations.

got family and friends that i'd lay down and die for
The strength of love and loyalty for those closest to us.

forces in my head, but in my heart i'm still for the life force
Mental struggles, but ultimately having the desire to continue living and making positive changes.

however you hurtin', situation worsens by lack of earners
Financial struggles can make difficult situations even worse.

system only workin' for certain persons
The societal and economic systems in place are biased and only benefit certain individuals.

a man 'll get caught tryna keep the rent up
One can get into legal trouble for attempting to provide for themselves and their family.

but a paedophile 'll spend less time bent up
Justice is not always served equally, with some criminals receiving less punishment than others.

next time you pick up blood, think of the consequences
Consider the consequences of one's actions, specifically in regards to drug usage.

someone's daughter or son cracked out on park benches
Drug addiction can have negative effects on individuals and their loved ones.

can't do it i know, can't afford to have a soul
It can be difficult to make morally sound decisions when faced with financial struggles.

'cause if you thinkin' you slippin' and not on ya toes
If one is not attentive and proactive, one may fail to make a positive change or prevent negative outcomes.

genocide turned suicide, it's not coincidental
Systemic oppression and violence can lead to severe and tragic consequences.

no chains, but it's worse when the shackles are mental
Psychological struggles can be just as, if not more, limiting and painful as physical bondage.

scared to shine, don't share, breed like rabbits,
People may be fearful of standing out or expressing themselves, leading to overpopulation and a lack of diversity.

feed abuse of habits, and the situations get drastic
Enabling harmful behaviors or actions can lead to increasingly negative situations.

kick in more, sure that it's soon to be you
Taking action and making positive changes can have a ripple effect, inspiring others to do the same.

we enterin, it's hard to be strong
Entering into uncertain times can be daunting and challenging.

when the lifestyles so temptin', fat pockets
The temptation of wealth and indulgent lifestyles can make it difficult to make ethical and productive choices.

getting money, grabbin hoes away
The pursuit of money and power can involve negative attitudes towards women and disrespect for others.

but if we don't change today our kids grow the same way
If we do not take action to make positive changes, future generations will inherit the same problems.

however hard shit gets, try and maintain focus
Even in the face of adversity, it is important to stay focused and determined towards making positive changes.

'cause god always side with the most hate and the brokest
The universe seems to favor those who have endured hardship, as they often have the most drive and motivation to create change.

i know theres a god 'cause all the times i should of died
Having survived severe situations, one believes in a higher power that allowed them to live through it.

impossible circumstance, somehow i survived
Overcoming extremely difficult situations that would seem impossible to many.

plus theres the fact that the universe is designed
The beauty and order of the natural world suggest a higher intelligence or divine force in the universe.

blood circulates, light reach earth in the same time
The natural world is filled with amazing and complex systems that work perfectly in harmony.

stars and cells born at rates you can't count

eighteen years ago, i weren't even visible
Reflecting on how far one has come in life and how much one has grown and accomplished.

now i spit lyrical syllables for spiritual criminals
Using one's talents and skills to speak out against societal injustices and make a positive difference.

nothin' worse than potential that remained hidden
The failure to utilize one's potential and make a positive impact is a great loss for oneself and the world.

don't look back could of, would of, should of, to late i didn't
Regretting missed opportunities, but understanding that dwelling on them is not productive.

while most of us struggle to strive for what we believe in
It can be difficult to stay committed to one's values and goals in the face of obstacles and challenges.

imagine the strength of those who died for what they believe in
Reflecting on the bravery and conviction of those who have sacrificed their lives for the greater good.

get up, oh stand up
Encouraging and motivating oneself and others to take action towards making a positive change.

stand up and make a change
Urging individuals to step up and make a difference in the world.

stand up get up and fight
Fighting against societal injustices and making a positive impact through one's actions.

don't just survive and live your life
Stepping beyond mere survival and instead living life to the fullest, making the most out of every moment.

get up oh stand up now
Motivating and inspiring individuals to take action in the present moment.

get up and make a change woah
Encouraging action towards making positive changes in the world.
