Chris Davis - Stand lyrics

Bravo (Bravo) (Bravo) (Bravo) [Verse 1: Corey Paul] Curtis wakes up to a [?] in his heart That he hates with every inch of his soul And bottle look on his face His baby momma already knows That it's probably about to be one of those Mornings So she starts in Before he get up Then he slam her Then she stand up Yeah, she stand up She stand up, like "Eh, so what?" And she packs up lunch The broken record plays And Brittney hears the same old song As her brother, DeMarcus, looks along like "My God, have you left us all alone In this house with so many voices?" That's [?] Trying to lead a pa** on His Path It's about 54, DeMarcus say it's freezing Brittney say, "It ain't that bad." She fixes his hat While other kids pa** in a car As they still point fingers and laugh They have walked a couple blocks But they still got a few to go In the meantime, they pushing that part-time Bell ring, never mind We out of time Brittney asked her brother about lunch money When he look in her eyes and he don't say a word She dig in her pocket and she gives him hers Figure she'll eat later Pray and get greater Hear her grandma talk about God Even though life wrong her, hiding sitting through the wringer She holds on hard Life in HD It's her reality Everyday, that's what she look forward to So - what I'm - ask - ing - of you - is - will any - body - stand?!

And what's worse, is she starting to see it But she don't really wanna accept it She wear a cross on her necklace Her grandma gave her before she got infected Cancer (Cancer) (Cancer) She cried at the funeral, her brother didn't He wanted to But why? He said, "That's life: You born, you live, it s**s, you die." Mm Sky might be y'all limits But ours is our neighborhoods And yeah, I used to have a couple dreams But they got a burial Like dead things should Please stand Please stand Stand I'm begging for you to stand [Verse 3: Corey Paul] Brother been locked up about four year Felony: Possession of a firearm Now all of his partners he used to round with Suddenly ain't right for him Brittney trying to keep a Mazda going She got three kid, three baby daddy Trying to get a stitch in on the light bill this month But [?] ain't trying the heat Try her best to stay in good spirit Saying, "It ain't all good, but it ain't all bad." Finally starting to understand She won't find fulfillment in a man Unless that man Be Jesus She read that And believe that Went to church for the first time last Sunday (My God! You should've seen that!) She say, "Now don't get it twisted My wounds deep, and I deal with them on the daily But I won't let this world k** me Oh, Jesus, save me" So stand [Hook: Corey Paul] For little girls, stand (stand) For little boys, stand (stand) For battered women, stand (stand) For weak men, stand (stand) For murderers, stand (stand) For dope-battered, stand (stand) For non-believers, stand And If not for the day, then maybe for the night If not for the wrong, then maybe for the right If not for the dark, then maybe for the light If not for the cost, then maybe for the price If not for the low, then maybe for the high If not for the world, then maybe for Christ So I'm pouring every inch of my soul out And asking you to stand [Hook: Corey Paul] For little girls, stand (stand) For little boys, stand (stand) For battered women, stand (stand) For weak men, stand (stand) For murderers, stand (stand) For dope-battered, stand (stand) For non-believers, stand And If not for the day, then maybe for the night If not for the wrong, then maybe for the right If not for the dark, then maybe for the light If not for the cost, then maybe for the price If not for the low, then maybe for the high If not for the world, then maybe for Christ So I'm pouring every inch of my soul out And begging you to stand (stand) (stand) [Outro: Dwania & Chris Davis] [Automated Woman's Voice] You have a collect call from: DeMarcus An inmate at Harris County Jail To accept these charges, press "1" *Beep* Please do not attempt to use three-way or call waiting [Chris Davis] Hey, "Leyda," how you doing? [Dwania] Hey bro, what's up, what's going on? [Chris Davis] Man, nothing much, you know me, just trying to hold my head up in here, y'know [Dwania] Yeah I hear you How's it going? How's everything going? [Chris Davis] Man, just maintaining, y'know how it is, y'know It's like, I can't let it get to me, y'know So I appreciate that book you sent to me 'Cause it-- It's been doing a lot for me, y'know what I'm saying Y'know-- I got one question for you, though Y'know, 'cause like, I've been reading it Y'know what I'm saying and it got me-- This one part kinda got me kinda puzzled Y'know it's in "Phillipidins" uh, I believe it's, uh, Chapter 1 Uh, Verse 21 I think it's like, uh, hold on, it's uh, "To live is God," It's, uh, "Die is gain," and like, I'm not-- I'm not getting the whole thing I was trying to see if you could break it down to me [Dwania] Yeah, bro, of course, but I see you holding it down But basically, what I think Paul is saying is-- In this scripture is, that, um If we were to live for all of these things, um Money, cars, clothes, that job you want That girl you think you want, um I mean, if we were to die, then we taking an L We taking a loss But... If we were to live Jesus and we were to die That's gain [Chris Davis] ...Man, that's deep... That's deep right there Okay, it make a lot of sense, y'know what I'm saying 'Cause I-- That's how I been living: in the flesh Y'know what I mean-- y'know what I'm saying All eyes on material things When I was out there looking good in the streets Well now, I'm locked up in here I can't do nothing but spread This Word Just 'cause of this book you gave me Y'know what I'm saying, I ha-- I have touched a few people with it, so... I got you now [Dwania] That's what's up, bro I'm proud of you
