To fight the great white suppression,
baffle the minds behind our oppression,
leaving only them to the disgusting aggression,
We Stand.

To cleanse the country with our pungent resistance,
put them in awe with our inspiring persistence,
lessen the gap of the colored distance,
We Stand.

To project our voices across Georgia’s plains,
break the iron grip of society’s chains,
glorify the blood running through our veins,
We Stand

To drink from the river as an equal man,
refuse the proposition of the forsaken Klan,
become not less but indeed more than,
We Stand.

Now who is there to tell black from white?
From under the Sun we share equal light.
Take from the viles our God-given right.
For our freedom I must right.
And so, We Stand.
