00:05Are you prepared to stand up for your rights?

00:07Yes!

00:08Let's go everybody, let's get upstairs!

00:10Let's take a stand now!

00:12Let's go, everybody that believes in justice, take a stand!

01:31We're not sure the people who don't know who their name is.

01:33It was good when they come to my child.

01:35For peal a.

01:36We're not sure the people who don't know who they're always trying to die.

01:38We're not sure how much it happens.
