Standing Ovation Lyrics

They weren't there when I was down

But all that pain was real

Breaking hearts like breaking wood

But my heart stainless steal

Up in my hood my folks be good

Just watch when I make this mill

So prone to violence in the place we

Live no standing still

Watch your back it can get bad

If you do t pay attention

Stack your bread and clear your head

Cuz life sometimes is wicked

The ones who claim to love you most

Be one's who act so different

Soon as the money flooding

In now they wanna pay attention

It's so hard

With every word that comes to mind

I put my all

I put my sweat into this pain

I put my pain into this art

I put my art into the world

And now the world gone be appalled

Throw shots like snipers

Got disciples who gone follow me

Another kid up on the news

Who got knocked off his feet

It's a tragic way to live especially

When your a kid

We come from places where we take

Because nobody wanna give

Don't Nobody wanna give

It's just natural to

Inhabits, cuz this is how it is

On that corner kids a goner

Now his momma feeling sick

Watching tv then they see em

He ain't get to twenty six

He ain't get to twenty six

He got caught up in the mix

In something he wasn't supposed

They mistaked him now he dead

But it's life it's like a cycle that

Continues, it won't end

They weren't there when I was down

But all that pain was real

Breaking hearts like breaking wood

But my heart stainless steal

Up in my hood my folks be good

Just watch when I make this mill

So prone to violence in the place we

Live no standing still

Watch your back it can get bad

If you do t pay attention

Stack your bread and clear your head

Cuz life sometimes is wicked

The ones who claim to love you most

Be one's who act so different

Soon as the money flooding

In now they wanna pay attention

They wanna pay attention

Soon as they see who you are

They wanna try and listen

Giving hands they gone applaud

Because my words are different

And I'm fighting for my rights

Like I'm a movement, sit in

Asking are you kidding

Remember days I had no voice

Now people really listen

Speak on past and my experience

The truth, I'm being serious

No man In yellow suits but

Just like George I Got em curious

A product of the places that I'm from

And what I lived

One man amongst the many

Said his odds are very thin

Be a hope to guide the youth

While everybody giving in, or

Every body giving up cuz ain't enough

Don't lose the stuff That makes you

You, Cuz who you are is just enough

Wow

If I was to give a word of advice to anyone

I would just like, like be yourself

Do what you gone do

Like if its, if its a problem in the world go out in the world and fix it

Find something you can handle

And handle it

That is

That's just what it is

Do what you gone do

Be who you gone be

That's all I can say

Look

They weren't there when I was down

But all that pain was real

Breaking hearts like breaking wood

But my heart stainless steal

Up in my hood folks gone good

Just watch when I make this mill

So prone to violence in the place we

Live no standing still

Watch your back it can get bad

If you do t pay attention

Stack your bread and clear your head

Cuz life sometimes is wicked

The ones who claim to love you most

Be one's who act so different

Soon as the money flooding

In now they wanna pay attentionnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Attentionnnnnnnnnnn

They wanna pay attentioonnnnnnnnnn

Attentionnnnnnnnnnnnn
