| 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) |
