Everybody stressed out
cbout the state of things
Cause when you looking around
It gets you wondering
How'd it get so bad
How'd it go so wrong
But if you don't like the game
You don't have to play along

Don't have to get crazy
Don't have to be obscene
If something hits you funky
Stand up and say your piece

You gotta speak
Speak on it
Use your voice
To make a righteous noise
Then you gotta keep
Keep on it
Put in the air
Make it loud and clear
Good people everywhere
Speak on, Speak on

Your brothers getting beat
Sisters held to the ground
If you say what you see
We could it turn it around
Don't let nobody tell you
Silence can't kill
If no one will defend them
Baby, let ‘em know you will

You gotta speak
Speak on it
Use your voice
To make a righteous noise
Then you gotta keep
Keep on it
Put in the air
Make it loud and clear
Good people everywhere
Speak on, Speak on

Think on it
Pray on it
Then Speak on it
Don't sit on it

Work on it
March on it
Stay on it
Don't stop, don't quit

Work on it
March on it
Stay on it
Don't stop, don't quit

You gotta speak
Speak on it
Use your voice
To make a righteous noise
Then you gotta keep
Keep on it
Put in the air
Make it loud and clear
Good people everywhere
Speak on, Speak on
