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
