lyrics

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
