When you make videos on YouTube, you hope people will watch what you’re posting. But rarely do you think, “I really hope someone samples this in a rap song.”

Chris Beckstrom, however, did a fantastic job with it. “Stand Up!,” an anthem to atheists who come out of the closet, is one of several tracks that appears on an album his group The Fonetiks will be releasing next week.

You got a right to believe whatever you want

If you want to worship a misogynistic bearded dude

Who sends you to hell if you give him attitude

Or eat the wrong food

Or love the wrong person Well you’re certainly entitled to that, although I disagree

Seems kinda silly, but that’s just me

Believe what you want, we gotta live free

You do you and I’ll do me … Stand up

I’m talking to the atheists, secular humanists

Gotta get agnostics up in this business

Stand up for what’s right

We’re all fighting the same damn fight

Stand up

All the lyrics are right here. I’ll let you know when the album is out.
