taboo - stand up / stand n rock lyrics

[intro: shailene woodley]
they call it a pipeline
but those on the front line know, that black snake was sent for us to grow
to shed the skin, our ancestors pray, of wounds old and calloused, so that we may stay
so that we may unite, unity our tool
no weapons are found in this court of rule
men become [?], steadfast in their guard
protecting women’s hearts as their songs become roots
roots to cast out healing for all sentient beings
to honor sacred mother, heart forward we heal
the salmon will run, the mowna will grieve, the rivers will flow
the river is here and prophecy tells us all generation will hear

[refrain: taboo]
stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up

[verse 1: taboo]
stand up with the first nations
a people that been livin’ here for thousands of years (stand up)
we been fightin’ for our freedoms since the niña and pinta and the santa maria (stand up)
like geronimo, sittin’ bull, red cloud, crazy horse, leonard peltier
now they poisonin’ the waters for our sons and our daughters, so
we on the frontier (we one) one nation, one cause, one people, one tribe
now it’s us against the pipeline
get on your feet for standing rock and we’ll show you how strong we can be when we unify

[chorus: pj vegas]
to all my native people
recognize yourself, keep your head up
to all my tribal people
recognize yourself, keep your head up
to all my native people, to all the original people, to all my indigenous people
recognize yourself, keep your head up
stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up
for standin’ rock

[verse 2: emcee one]
from the beginnin’ we was winnin’ this game on planet earth
it’s been spinnin’, we been dyin’ but givin’ birth
the first of many nations, celebratin’ them days when all that got made came after what god made
these days we cater to these internet memes, internet streams
it seems them streams aren’t clean
we need the whole story seen, we’re h-ssling before water has gasoline in it
malcolm x moment, martin luther king with a dream and [?]
wounded knee and alcatraz, doggonit
this is for the rock, with prayers we stand on it

[verse 3: drezus]
oh yeah we playin’ on with the earth
we camp on it in a sweat lodge, singing our songs with grandfathers
heat racks all on the spot, we splashin’ on ’em
with a beatbox from my boy [?]
said a prayer for the black snake k!llers
they on the front lines are the realest
stand for your people, stand for your family
stand for standing rock, stand for humanity

[chorus: pj vegas]
to all my native people
recognize yourself, keep your head up
to all my tribal people
recognize yourself, keep your head up
to all my native people, to all the original people, to all my indigenous people
recognize yourself, keep your head up
stand up
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up, stand up
for standin’ rock

[bridge: supaman]
[?] [apsáalooke]

[verse 4: doc battiest & spencer battiest]
to all my native people
woke up to change, we won’t go quiet
to all my tribal people
don’t mistake our peace, as we stand and fight
to all my native people
it’s the calm before the storm and i can hear it comin’
to all my tribal people
i’m ready for the battle and we ain’t runnin’

[chorus]
stand up
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up, stand up
for standing rock, for standing rock
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up, stand up, stand up
for standing rock, for standing rock

[verse 5: temryss lane]
standing rock where standing feet
as history is on the sad repeat
is it liberty, or are we just acting free?
as our land depletes from these hands of greed
see, fate is found, how we face the hounds
take a vow for your sacred grounds
make a sound that’ll shake ’em out
say aloud “what can save us now?”
what can save us now?
