[Vanessa Williams:] We will not bow down to, uh huh, racism [SWV:] We will not bow down to injustice We will not bow down to exploitation [Vanessa Williams & SWV:] I'm gon' stand, I'm gon' stand [Patra:] (?) stand for free your mind and your soul Half the story has never been told (?) you got to demand what you want And what we want is respect, right? [Meshell NdegeOcello:] Come and take a walk with me Closer walk with thee See what only I can see [Patra:] Sisters, check this Watch this [Mary J. Blige:] Turn us loose, set us free from all the chains that bind me [Zhane:] Let us run in our own direction [Chilli of TLC:] Let us go, set us free from all this propaganda and lies [T-Boz of TLC:] That your people try to teach us I know why you would like to bring us down [Aaliyah:] Because we have all the dirt on you You try to tell us that our lives don't mean a damn [Caron Wheeler:] But we know so much better So we're gonna take our freedom CHORUS: [Ad-libs: Mary J.

Your cover's been blown [Tanya Blount] I know just who I am and what I wanna do [Monica:] I can make you run Make you hide from all your ancestors' transgression That you hold inside [Queen Latifah:] Sisters rising up and seeing that our time is here We're taking back what's been ours for years [Meshell NdegeOcello:] Let the heaven of a sister embrace you And praise some other gods [Joi:] All these lies and all this propaganda You want us to take We're gonna take out VAMP: [En Vogue:] Free, free, free, freedom Freedom, ooooooooh BOP!
