Locksmith - Stand It lyrics

(Hook) And mama said tread likely Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly What might seem like an advantage to some May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me (Verse) Fighting with my childhood, other n***as would pester him I swear to God, I even thought I was Mexican I messed around, made a mess and found The mess was bound, to expect the sound That would overdrown, infesting in But either way, I had to leave the bay The only reason while n***as even believe today And if I would have stayed, I probably would have played Right into the hands of these jealous n***as they keep at bay But it's all just semantics, I used to press up fly and do van hits sponsored links Now you n***a pressin down the van uick I know they can't stand it (Hook) And mama said tread likely Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly What might seem like an advantage to some May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me One against the great I'm not, in the crowd, the crowd, crowd One and they can never break me down They won't break me down, down, down And papa said never spite me, Because of my belief, these other rappers won't like me Instead of switching, I'm keepin the same position These lame n***as is b**hin, I tell em to come and bite me (Verse) Fighting off my demons and n***as think it's horseplay I portrait what I feel is needed of course they Wanna take a n***a spot, cause they see a bigger plot Till they face the face of my work and they report change And can you blame fools, They was given this dream like they just can't loose Explain who can refrain for me in the same food Without a change, not going sane to vomit on they shoes I pay dues in this region, we need variety I think these high n***as feel threatened by my sobriety But it's all just semantics, I know they can't stand it, right? (Hook) And mama said tread likely Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly What might seem like an advantage to some May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me One against the great I'm not, in the crowd, the crowd, crowd One and they can never break me down They won't break me down, down, down And papa said never spite me, Because of my belief, these other rappers won't like me Instead of switching, I'm keepin the same position These lame n***as is b**hin, I tell em to come and bite me (Verse) My sister used to tell me please Ali don't be a fool If you gonn do this music, use rap as a vehicle See this could be your tool If you ain't saying something meaningful to people Then you probably need to be in school Well I guess I kept my promise Instead of being thankful, they judged me for being honest And this is just a pray lood, I pray you betray dude In the proper light, just don't write me off like some bay dude Explain, who could refrain from me in the same fool Without a change, not going sane, it's like you playing pool And for that prophet, these n***as get out of pocket They watching you from they corners on that green And they waving toons And the white sticks the night stick And everybody's balling for moving that white b**h Life slips and it's more than just semantics I know you can't stand it, right? (Hook) And mama said tread likely Your skin color is fair, you bred lightly What might seem like an advantage to some May add vanity son, and that could come back to pipe me One against the great I'm not, in the crowd, the crowd, crowd One and they can never break me down They won't break me down, down, down.
