You don't stand for something, you fall for anything

from Public Enemy – Harder Than You Think Lyrics on Rap Genius

It’s a paraphrase of a famous quote by Malcolm X which plays on the words standing and falling. Standing means representing something, while falling means getting fooled. Therefore, if you don’t have principles, you can easily get swayed by anything.
