Ice Cube - Stand Tall |
| [00:08.00] |
|
| [00:21.52] |
Stand tall, live your life to the limit |
| [00:24.45] |
Cause haterism seem like a fucking epidemic |
| [00:27.00] |
And look at Ice Cube, I ain't no gimmick |
| [00:29.52] |
I'm straight from the hood, I got to represent it |
| [00:32.27] |
Now - every day I think about my color |
| [00:34.92] |
And all the crazy shit we do to one another |
| [00:37.49] |
I ain't your blood brother, but I'm your cuz brother |
| [00:40.38] |
Let's take it back to the love and how it was brother |
| [00:42.93] |
If not, we gon' pull these triggers |
| [00:45.50] |
Show the world we deserve to be called niggaz |
| [00:48.01] |
I make a fuck-up, like Don Imus |
| [00:50.64] |
bow on his knees, and call me yo' highness |
| [00:53.26] |
You can too, you got the power to |
| [00:56.19] |
Don't let this motherfuckin system devour you |
| [00:58.64] |
I won't pretend, or act like I'm knowin you |
| [01:01.64] |
But check it out I understand what you goin through |
| [01:03.99] |
But remember, brothers and sisters |
| [01:07.78] |
You can still, stand, tall |
| [01:13.00] |
Just be thankful... |
| [01:18.31] |
For what you got |
| [01:21.37] |
I know what y'all motherfuckers thinking, heh heh |
| [01:24.31] |
Here comes another rapper with a song about hope |
| [01:27.75] |
All you wanna hear is a song about dope |
| [01:30.17] |
And how a nigga got mo' money than the Pope |
| [01:32.84] |
But he'll never tell you when he drop the soap |
| [01:35.43] |
No~! Ice Cube is here to drop you a note |
| [01:38.11] |
Cause some of our folk used to hang from ropes |
| [01:40.74] |
And some of our people used to hang from trees |
| [01:43.38] |
Now the only thing hangin muh'fucker is DEEZ |
| [01:46.10] |
So, get your mind right, and I'ma rhyme right |
| [01:48.93] |
Fuck the limelight, and a blind dyke |
| [01:51.68] |
I'm the sunlight, too bright to look |
| [01:54.27] |
When it's all said and done I should write the book |
| [01:56.74] |
You too cool for school, too old to know? |
| [01:59.25] |
Get your ass off the grassroots and let 'em grow |
| [02:02.13] |
I understand, it ain't no love lost |
| [02:04.65] |
But little kids, it ain't no Santa Claus |
| [02:07.51] |
But remember, brothers and sisters |
| [02:11.27] |
You can still, stand, tall |
| [02:16.47] |
Just be thankful... |
| [02:21.08] |
For what you got |
| [02:27.81] |
I was born in the mud but I came out clean |
| [02:30.76] |
That's 'til the government tried to intervene |
| [02:33.38] |
Tried to lock me up when I was only 19 |
| [02:36.19] |
Don't never ever ever let 'em kill your dream |
| [02:38.79] |
I make shit raw that piss off the law |
| [02:41.35] |
If you want some fake shit turn this off |
| [02:44.02] |
If you want some realness I know you can feel this |
| [02:46.77] |
Maybe we can heal this just like an illness |
| [02:49.27] |
Black on black, I got'cho back |
| [02:52.01] |
People don't think that we know how to act |
| [02:54.54] |
Just because our neighborhood is filled with crack |
| [02:57.27] |
And the CIA, won't take it back |
| [02:59.50] |
Never on top, always on the bottom |
| [03:02.64] |
Never put your trust in Hillary Rodham |
| [03:05.15] |
Cause I can tell you now it's gon' turn out rotten |
| [03:07.82] |
Keep on pushin, get 'em 'til we got 'em |
| [03:10.56] |
But remember, brothers and sisters |
| [03:14.62] |
You can still, stand, tall |
| [03:20.22] |
Just be thankful... |
| [03:25.03] |
For what you got |
| [03:30.79] |
|
| [03:34.35] |
Raise your hand if you sick of this bullshit |
| [03:37.89] |
Heh, in the belly of the evil empire fades |
| [03:43.34] |
|
