When standing up for anything?
You gonna be hated mainly disliked.
We aware many have no heart to fight.

When Jesus took his path?
Look at all those attacks level his way.
From those with the power to those with none.

When Martin Luther King Jr. and the few that protested?
Don't believe the hype of his own race that all supported him.
Just like some now fighting for righteousness isn't in them

We see this highly among the preach mouth religious leaders.
Afraid to offer an opinion on any injustice unless behind the podium.

When Muhammad Ali stood his ground?
Look at the reporters and others tried to cut him down.
To the point, many called him UnAmerican cause he stood his ground.

Look at the Mighty Three youth that was killed in Mississippi for assisting in voter registration.
We aware they rocked some the wrong way.
And we still see this stupidity today.

Except, in a certain region because some not gonna be pushed anymore by bigots without a serious fight.
Whoever been liked?

Well, maybe those that stay seated and quiet.
