Skindred - Stand for Something [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Caught in chains, shackles on too tight
Squirmin' for your life because you've gone and lost your freedom
Manacles, cut deep when they're too tight
You have to break the lock or find the key so you defeat dem
Enslaved by the wickedest power
We're smashin' up the cells and all the right ones gonna follow
Uprisin', we need not the chains
And we aren't gonna make the same mistakes again

If you want it, you got to rise and take it
You gotta wake up, you know you can't contain this
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
If you want it, you got to fight for it
Wake up, you'll never contain it
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything

Wolves they creep, out to take the sheep
The vulnerable, the easy led, the weak, who will protect dem?
Against the wall, now they execute
The blind can't lead the blind, they always need someone to lead dem
Restrained by the evillest power
Captive of the chains because these things you've done are so-ah
Not surprising, it's all done in vain
But you have gone and made the same mistake again

If you want it, you got to rise and take it
You gotta wake up, you know you can't contain this
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
If you want it, you got to fight for it
Wake up, you'll never contain it
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything

Caught in chains, shackles on too tight
Squirmin' for your life because you've gone and lost your freedom
Manacles, cut deep when they're too tight
You have to break the lock or find the key so you defeat dem
Enslaved by the wickedest power
Enslaved by the wickedest power
Enslaved by the wickedest power
Enslaved by the wicked-icked-icked-icked

Everyday you live, you gotta fight
You got to stand your ground

If you want it, you got to rise and take it
You gotta wake up, you know you can't contain this
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
If you want it, you got to fight for it
Wake up, you'll never contain it
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything
If you stand for something, you'll fall for anything
