Relief In Rhyme - Pat D, Lady Paradox, Melodiq

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)
