Yo. We got a message... To anybody reppin’ stars and stripes with real fire in they chest. Yeah. Will the real American stand up? We're gonna have a problem here... Let’s talk. Look Y’all act like liberty just up and vanished Talk loud on the net, but hearts ain’t managed Truth in chains, and they clickbait damage While real ones grind for a cause, not cameras Yeah, I came from a corner where hope was thin But I pledged to the dream, let the real begin Ain’t a clone of the past, I’m a voice that’s new But I carry that torch for the red, white, blue You can mock all you want, try to kill the flame But we stand on truth not just names We ain't perfect, but we reach for more From the block to the hills to the distant shore So will the real Ameri-cans stand up? (stand up!) Wave that flag but know the meaning, bruh (let’s go!) Ain’t ‘bout pride if you fake your love (nah) This land needs hearts that can bleed and trust So will the real Ameri-cans stand up? (yeah, yeah!) We ain’t fallin' back, we gon' band up (let's ride!) Truth and faith in the field is tough But liberty lives in the soul of us Yo They say we too broken, lines too drawn But the beat of the nation still marches on I’ve seen single moms raise kings from dirt And vets who lost limbs still push through hurt It ain’t in the flex, it’s the way we rise Through debt, through grief, through cold goodbyes Through loss of jobs and the food stamp lines Still praying for peace with battle cries Unity ain’t passive it’s built in fire Truth ain’t quiet it’s spit through wire This ain’t rap, it’s a heart built quire If you believe in the dream, then play your part Real ones don’t fold when the light gets dim We push through pain, no need to pretend Every skin, every tongue, every voice can blend In the name of the future we defend again So will the real Ameri-cans stand up? (stand up!) Wave that flag but know the meaning, bruh (let’s go!) Ain’t ‘bout pride if you fake your love (nah) This land needs hearts that can bleed and trust So will the real Ameri-cans stand up? (yeah, yeah!) We ain’t fallin' back, we gon' band up (let's ride!) Truth and faith in the field is tough But liberty lives in the soul of us It ain’t about being perfect… It’s about showing up. So if you’re out there grinding, fighting for better… You already stood up.
