Stand Tall

[Intro] Yeah [Verse] Readin' Sufi Say, "Time is money," coinin' Rumi Didn't invent it—just paid attention and listened to what Umi said "Shine your light"—bags are bags no matter if they Tumi brand Judgment's on me; they wonderin' if I'm a "Eat the coochie" fan All because I choose to style in sneakers and some baggy pants Used to make me aggy, wanna black out like the Aggie fans I suffer from anxiety Doctors probably tired of me Tryna meditate to calm my heart—it's racin' like a ambulance So I ain't got no answers; you can beliеve what you choose I'm tryna focus on sleepin' at night without wakin' up panickin' Steph lost hеr father—I'm tryna be here for my friends and them Mees lost her father—I'm tryna be here for my friends and them Free my spirit so I ain't lookin' in the mirror, seein' Candyman Though I right hook, kick, push, fight through life like Ms. Hanigan Either you Annie or you Anakin You gon' shine or fade to black as a result of all yo' damages I learned life like bike rides—we gotta handle it Visits with my auntie, my uncle ashes on the mantelpiece Her tears never stop— it's like the cycles on a rinse-repeat I'm cut from that cloth, so every day's a mental cleanin' spree Navigatin' through this business, tryna find some decency But you only wonder if I eat coochie or like some dick in me Y'all need to read Dick Gregory, bitches Yeah [Chorus] Okay! Damn, damn, damn Ain't gon' let y'all even trigger me, huh—bam, bam, bam Days I do, I'm true to bounce back though—sham, sham, sham God, forgive me when I fall short, tryna stand, stand, stand tall Uh! Damn, damn, damn I ain't gon' let y'all even trigger me, yeah—bam, bam, bam Days I do, I'm true to bounce back though—sham, sham, sham God forgive me when I fall short, tryna stand, stand, stand tall [Outro] Tell the truth, not even one time Tell the truth Not even one time Tell the truth Tell the truth, not even one time Tell the truth Now, tell the truth
