Stand Up ~original~

Now, Jessie and Jean,
they were walkin the street
and doin that
Oh, how you do?
You could see them inside,
walkin in the night,
doin all the things they shouldnt do.
Its the oldest game around—
Make a livin layin down
Theres only so many things you can make a living at when youre laying down,
and washing dishes aint one of em.
Now, Frances E. shes sold on the dream.
Oh, here were all equal now
But soon she would find that those men there in line
were makin more than she did.
Wow. Go figure.
The grind was just the same,
yet the men, they earned more change.
Hey woman, wont you stand up
and dust your feet, baby.
Dont you give up.
Thats right—you dust your feet, you stand up, and you dont give up.
Hey woman, wont you stand up
and dust your feet, baby.
Dont you give up.
Even after they knock yo ass down, you stand yo ass up. Thats right. No woman should ever give up or give in. So
how many woman are there out there today in this world that our young girls can look up to? Theres quite a few,
actually.
Like Ho Ching, Condi, and Carol B. Tome,
with Nancy Tillman. These women really got it goin on
with Susan Decker, and Hill and Oprah, too.
And if you dont know who any of these women are, I suggest you Google them. Women have to remind themselves
that the fight is not yet over.
Hey woman, wont you stand up
and dust your feet, baby.
Dont you give up.
Thats what they gotta keep tellin themselves, over and over.
Hey woman, wont you stand up
and dust your feet, baby.
Dont you give up.
Because theres still people out there thinkin that women just are not as important as men. So well just remind
them
