Patience, understanding, loyalty, loyalty |
|
Bayani, loyalty (got to have) |
|
It's more than just a hobby or pastime |
|
'Cause 24/7 I'm representin' the Massline |
|
Daily grind, 85, wonder why, maybe I'm |
|
Way behind lately been occupyin' my mind |
|
With the possibility this means we'll all end |
|
With two albums and a handful of people I call friends |
|
And friends I call my comrades, and comrades who stand |
|
Together write a book 'till it ends |
|
Indeed as we be headed in directions getting whole towns polarized |
|
Either love it or leave it, indeed I'm giving credit to the fam who believed it |
|
Preceding the hype of the hyperbole of the media |
|
Even though some people abandon ship on the other hand |
|
Some were skeptical quick, but now they quick to bandwagon up |
|
Saggin' my pants at the cocktail party with the mayor |
|
And later rockin' a party with a thousand in the air |
|
That's a beautiful thing, and if you're new to this thing |
|
Don't front, ask a question, stay humble, do your thing |
|
But just remember you ain't gotta prove a thing |
|
Stand up or fall down thanks for listenin' y'all |
|
Because I, got your back even if you don't got mine |
|
Grind in the dark when the clock strikes hard times |
|
We ain't nothing if this bond ain't solidified |
|
Give thanks in war time that people still alive |
|
Dignified soldiers who walk with the spirit of 12 million plus lost and found in this lyric |
|
Sound man turn it till the whole town hear it |
|
Either stand up or fall down now if you feel it |
|
Stand up or fall down |
|
Stand up or fall down |
|
While the record goes round stand up or fall down |
|
Stand up or fall down |
|
Stand up or fall down |
|
While the record goes round let the whole town know that it's us |
|
Somebody tell me where the riders and the soldiers are |
|
Before they close the door and go and start a colder war |
|
I see 'em posted up in corner stores holdin' fort |
|
Hopin' for a life from the crack of an open door |
|
And so the storm comes to cleanse without warn |
|
While the youth play with fire just to keep themselves warm |
|
In a cold world, cold people, playin' cold songs |
|
Sold for spare change while the broke hold on |
|
Why they call themselves right, but then act so wrong |
|
Dollar sign challenge why the unemployment line long |
|
No call for the blue collar gettin' low ball |
|
It's a long climb just to get to petty bourgeois |
|
While we, gettin' lifted but forgettin' that we fall |
|
Hit and shake cause your movin' but without the roll call |
|
This is protracted struggle revolutionized patience |
|
Bump this on your right wing radio station |
|
And maybe crack a top 10 daily rotation but until then |
|
You can keep ignorin' what I'm sayin' |
|
But just remember you ain't gotta prove a thing |
|
Stand up or fall down thanks for listenin' y'all |
|
Because I, got your back even if you don't got mine |
|
Grind in the dark when the clock strikes hard times |
|
We ain't nothing if this bond ain't solidified |
|
Give thanks in war time that people still alive |
|
Dignified soldiers who walk with the spirit of 12 million plus lost and found in this lyric |
|
Sound man turn it till the whole town hear it |
|
Either stand up or fall down now if you feel it |
|
Stand up or fall down |
|
Stand up or fall down |
|
While the record goes round stand up or fall down |
|
Stand up or fall down |
|
Stand up or fall down |
|
While the record goes round let the whole town know that it's us |
