Stand Tall

Now is the time

Come on y'all

Stand tall, live your life to the limit

'Cause haterism seem like a fuckin' epidemic

And look at Ice Cube, I ain't no gimmick

I'm straight from the hood, I got to represent it now

Every day I think about my color

And all the crazy shit we do to one another

I ain't your blood brother, but I'm your 'cause brother

Let's take it back to the love and how it was brother

If not, we gon' pull these triggers

Show the world we deserve to be called niggaz

I make a fuck up like Don Imus

Bow on his knees, and call me yo' highness

You can too, you got the power to

Don't let this motherfuckin' system devour you

I won't pretend or act like I'm knowin' you

But check it out I understand what you goin' through

But remember, brothers and sisters

You can still stand tall

Just be thankful

For what you got

I know what y'all motherfuckers thinkin'

Here comes another rapper with a song about hope

All you wanna hear is a song about dope

And how a nigga got mo' money than the Pope

But he'll never tell you when he drop the soap

No, Ice Cube is here to drop you a note

'Cause some of our folk used to hang from ropes

And some of our people used to hang from trees

Now the only thing hangin' motherfuckers is deez

So, get your mind right and I'ma rhyme right

Fuck the limelight and a blind dyke

I'm the sunlight, too bright to look

When it's all said and done I should write the book

You too cool for school, too old to know?

Get your ass off the grassroots and let 'em grow

I understand, it ain't no love lost

But little kids, it ain't no Santa Claus

But remember, brothers and sisters

You can still stand tall, stand up

Just be thankful, yeah

For what you got, f'real

I was born in the mud but I came out clean

That's 'til the government tried to intervene

Tried to lock me up when I was only nineteen

Don't never ever, ever let 'em kill your dream

I make shit raw that piss off the law

If you want some fake shit turn this off

If you want some realness I know you can feel this

Maybe we can heal this just like an illness

Black on black, I got'cho back

People don't think that we know how to act

Just because our neighborhood is filled with crack

And the CIA won't take it back

Never on top, always on the bottom

Never put your trust in Hillary Rodham

'Cause I can tell you now, it's gon' turn out rotten

Keep on pushin', get 'em 'til we got 'em

But remember, brothers and sisters

You can still stand tall, stand up

Just be thankful, f'real

For what you got

Raise your hand if you sick of this bullshit

In the belly of the evil empire

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
