Standing Ovation
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
Thats just what it is
Do what you gone do
Be who you gone be
Thats 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
But all that pain was real
Breaking hearts like breaking wood
But my heart stainless steal
Up in my hood my folks be good

If you do t pay attention
