Stand It

And mama said tread likely

Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly

What might seem like an advantage to some

May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me

Fighting with my childhood, other niggas would pester him

I swear to god, I even thought I was Mexican

I messed around, made a mess and found

The mess was bound, to expect the sound

That would overdrown, infesting in

But either way, I had to leave the bay

The only reason while niggas even believe today

And if I would have stayed, I probably would have played

Right into the hands of these jealous niggas they keep at bay

But it’s all just semantics, I used to press up fly and do van hits

Now you nigga pressin down the van uick

And mama said tread likely

Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly

What might seem like an advantage to some

May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me

One against the great I’m not, in the crowd, the crowd, crowd

One and they can never break me down

They won’t break me down, down, down

And papa said never spite me,

Because of my belief, these other rappers won’t like me

Instead of switching, I’m keepin the same position

These lame niggas is bitchin, I tell em to come and bite me

Fighting off my demons and niggas think it’s horseplay

I portrait what I feel is needed of course they

Wanna take a nigga spot, cause they see a bigger plot

Till they face the face of my work and they report change

And can you blame fools,

It was given this dream like they just can’t loose

Explain who can refrain for me in the same food

Without a change, not going sane to vomit on they shoes

I pay dues in this region, we need variety

I think these high niggas feel threatened by my sobriety

But it’s all just semantics,

I know they can’t stand it, right?

These lame niggas is bitchin, I tell em to come and bite me

My sister used to tell me please alley don’t be a fool

If you gonn do this music, use rap as a vehicle

See this could be your tool

If you ain’t saying something meaningful to people

Then you probably need to be in school

Well I guess I kept my promise

Instead of being thankful, they judged me for being honest

And this is just a pray lood, I pray you betray dude

In the proper light, just don’t write me off like some bay dude

Explain, who could refrain from me in the same fool

Without a change, not going sane, it’s like you playing fool

And for that prophet, these niggas get out of pocket

They watching you from they corners on that green

And they waving toons

And the white sticks the night stick

And everybody’s balling for moving that white bitch

Life slips and it’s more than just semantics

I know you can’t stand it, right?

They won’t break me down, down, down.
