That's because when he started he wanted to rap, that's one of his favorite music genres and he is very inspired by Eminem and he wanted to do rap that's why
[Verse 1] You've been hanging your conscious on the fence Cause you can't hold it An empty promise laid to rest A life is stolen And there will be no consequence For what you've broken Don't you know, what your father said? [Pre-Chorus] We are the only, we are the brave We are America, but we are to blame [Chorus] Stand up, stand up, can you hear me now? All I, all I really want now is Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying: "We can make it, oh, we can make it" Fist up, fist up, don't put your hands down! All I, all I really want now is Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying: "We can make it, oh we can make it" [Verse 2] We've been biting our tongues for far too long And they know it They told us that hope would carry on They really had us going And there will be no consequence For your sinful hypnosis Don't you know, what your father said? [Pre-Chorus] We are the only, we are the brave We are America, but we are to blame [Chorus] Stand up, stand up, can you hear me now? All I, all I really want now is Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying: "We can make it, oh, we can make it" Fist up, fist up, don't put your hands down! All I, all I really want now is Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying: "We can make it, oh we can make it"
I... guys. This song could describe blm. Not that this is how black people are getting treated as of right now but what we could do, as people, to help them. stand up, all i really want now is your voice screaming out loud saying "oh, we can make it". Let your voice be heard goddamnit. If we don't do anything they will never be able to live in peace without having to worry about getting shot while not even being awake. The world is messed up but if we stand strong and do something together, as people, we can make the world a better place.
But not all blacks are oppressed and a lot use the victim card in this time cause they are allowed to...I'm not saying their lives dont matter but there are a lot taking advantage of this to also hurt others knowing they can get away with it
The point of this song isn't about American pride, it's actually the opposite. It's about how Americans are ignoring the horrible things that go on inside our country.
Will there be a day in our lifetimes where this song won't hit close to home? I'm genuinely asking, I'd love to see an America without racism, homophobia, transphobia, poverty, or closed borders
You probably already got your answer, as it has been 6 months, but I think it's because he never officially released it. This was one of his first songs.

The passion in his voice is unbelievable, you can hear the anger
I can't like this comment it's at 69
You can tell he wrote this because of a law
@@disnamed8165 for sure, i mean with all thats going on now im glad i found it
@@Jay-ww6ve yeah
This song hits different with everything happening in the world right now
*this song is so different than his style wow*
Right?! I noticed too but I like it
That's because when he started he wanted to rap, that's one of his favorite music genres and he is very inspired by Eminem and he wanted to do rap that's why
its cuz this is 2013 him
yeah it is, but i kinda like it
Yeah, but these are still great!
aww he looks so happy in that pic he's so handsome
Ikr 😍😍😍 we stan
Ikr
Fantabulous ! IKR
How come I didnt hear this song until now?!? I literally listen to him every day!
IKR🤦🏻♀️
It's probably his rarest song -- he doesn't have it on his own socials, and I'm not so sure why.
"Don't you know what your father said?" I get the vibe that this lyric calling out how people will use the founding fathers as an excuse for anything.
Its 2020 and this song has never been more relevant
I think america really needs this song right now during these times..
2024.... and I still love Alec's songs to this day!
I made this a while ago and my idiot self didn’t realize I wrote “really wany now” so like excuse that😂
Thank you for making this. I love him so much.
At 1:27 I wasn't looking at the lyrics and for a second thought he said "Billy had his Gold" .... I'm weird
Omg same XD
Oh so Billy doesn't have his gold... sucks for him
Audio illusion 😂
I was reading this, then that part played and I heard it too XD
YOOOOOO YOY JUST RUINDD MY DAY. THANK YOU
[Verse 1]
You've been hanging your conscious on the fence
Cause you can't hold it
An empty promise laid to rest
A life is stolen
And there will be no consequence
For what you've broken
Don't you know, what your father said?
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the only, we are the brave
We are America, but we are to blame
[Chorus]
Stand up, stand up, can you hear me now?
All I, all I really want now is
Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:
"We can make it, oh, we can make it"
Fist up, fist up, don't put your hands down!
All I, all I really want now is
Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:
"We can make it, oh we can make it"
[Verse 2]
We've been biting our tongues for far too long
And they know it
They told us that hope would carry on
They really had us going
And there will be no consequence
For your sinful hypnosis
Don't you know, what your father said?
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the only, we are the brave
We are America, but we are to blame
[Chorus]
Stand up, stand up, can you hear me now?
All I, all I really want now is
Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:
"We can make it, oh, we can make it"
Fist up, fist up, don't put your hands down!
All I, all I really want now is
Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:
"We can make it, oh we can make it"
did you really just post lyrics on a lyric video
2:03... "Really wany now is" Hahahha
randombizqueen shhh we don’t talk about that
Jenny Not JJ 𝕩𝔻
hearing this now? completely different feel
3 years ago a song was made that was full of passion and had amazing lyrics but almost no one knew about it
This popping up in my feed on election day in 2024 before results are out really has me feeling some kinda way
I... guys. This song could describe blm. Not that this is how black people are getting treated as of right now but what we could do, as people, to help them.

Nyssa Ballenger it’s sad. A lot of them are killing their own with all these riots. And also destroying their businesses..
@@ER-co1hz yeah and those protecting their stores are hurt almost beaten to death or even killed whether it's a man or woman
Nyssa Ballenger yes, so sad. Stay safe 💕
Dude no
I'm fascinated. You can hear the youth in his voice. I'm so amazed!
*O-okay, I never saw Alec as someone who could pull this off, but um, I WAS WRONG!* STAN A KINGGGGGG
One of my favorite songs :)
why isn’t anyone talking about how drastically his voice changed ?????!!!!!
I think he did ot on purpose. I heard that this is six years old. Either way, stuff that's come B4 & after sounds more soft and stuff.
this came out in like 2013-2014
Me: *hears .2 seconds of the song*
My screen recorder: balls, here we go again
God I love this song so much I really hope he plays it when I see him in April

I screamed this song in class and my teacher kicked me out the school
We are the only, we are the brave, we are the netherlands but. We are to blame
ALL I WANT IS REALLY YOUR VOICE
Zeynep Kaya are you Ursula?
I love America
yes
The point of this song isn't about American pride, it's actually the opposite. It's about how Americans are ignoring the horrible things that go on inside our country.
they were being sarcastic
@@lilliedavis7824 ya know not all are ignoring the problems but mainstream media makes it look that way but ya know
His voice sounds so different!!
Haven't listened to this song in a couple years but I thought of it with everyone that's happening right now #blm
Why isn’t this song on Spotify
Andromeda Selevanto ahhh idk, but it’s on ITunes!!
It’s deleted that’s why
His voice sounds so strong
Im British.... 😂❤️
Im german

wE sTaN BrItAn XDXD
Me listen to this in 2020 be like👁️👄👁️
I feel like this is very appropriate for the riots and the #blacklivesmatter movement
I think it's best to leave the song out of the worlds problems right now
why was this removed from apple music 😭
Why is this not on spotifyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
this song kinda says whats happening right now
I’m Puerto Rican :)
Kind of counts considered America is associated with Puerto Rico. Not really it's own country
Why i cant find the song on his channel >.<
its my favorite!
Can we get a 1 hour version plz?
Will there be a day in our lifetimes where this song won't hit close to home? I'm genuinely asking, I'd love to see an America without racism, homophobia, transphobia, poverty, or closed borders
I'm Chinese but I still love this song lol
Why does this song seems like it was made for 2020
How come I can't find this on Spotify??
You probably already got your answer, as it has been 6 months, but I think it's because he never officially released it. This was one of his first songs.
@@hailiebrook5765 ah okay thank you, I assumed it was something like that. It's too bad, this is one of my favorites
Kathleen Flynn however it is on iTunes just so you know
