Pete Rock - (I'm A) Stand Up Guy lyrics

[Intro: Pete Rock] Uh! Come On! [Verse One: Tek] Ain't no love loss, when the bullets get tossed And you know it's all fair in love and war How your man say he fam when he's f**in your broad? (How?) He run around contemplatin knockin you off How your connect got papers (How?) All this work fire 4-1-0 like he livin through The Wire He know the old sayin but you still gotta show 'em You only trust a n***a as far as you can throw 'em [Verse Two: Steele] That's why we keep friends close enemies closer H for holsters for snakes and cobras Fake smile on they face like they think they know ya I don't know that brother he the type that snitch on his soldiers He was down with the whole scene part of the whole thing When he got caught switched up on the whole team I don't need friends stick to P-N-C And B. Rob when we mob see our reality [Chorus: Black Rob] (Pete Rock) I'm a stand up guy, when I say put' em up, just put 'em high (Uh!) Just say what you say to my face, look me in my eye No matter who you are (What) Or who you were (What) There's always some n***a try a**a**inate your character I'm a stand up guy, when I say put' em up, just put 'em high (Uh!) Just say what you say to my face, look me in my eye No matter who you are, or who you were (What) There's always some n***a try a**a**inate your character [Verse Three: Black Rob] Man alot of dudes talkin portray that image Only to get sacked at the line of scrimmage Always startin somethin that they can't finish Actin like it's all love like the game of tennis All the dude's paper work find your name in a minute You know the type, run around like you straight up menace That's the reason why I do dirt with no co-d's So when the people askin questions you don't know me I mean I seen it comin up, dudes sell they soul Just to get lesser time and come home parole You know how Feds like to make them threats with no bottle When you let 'em see you sweat they like hmmm we got him! The prospect of never seein your family again Contemplatin will I be live again? Too late, once your cooperatin with them Your looked at, differently, through the eyes of men [Chorus: Black Rob] (Pete Rock) [Verse Four: Tek] I don't say no names, write down no dates or times Soon as I hear a little glitch I switch up my lines 'Cause, I washed my hands with friends It's just a tight circle that I call my men's And the b**hes on the bullsh** lookin for a sport Move out the old hood to become a new who*e (OWWWW!!!!) n***as stay blinded by the p**y and the shine Instead of being focused and staying on the grind [Verse Five: Steele] (Pete Rock) Man! If loyalty don't k** ya the gun will (Tell 'em!) Alot of people playin that role and none real (Uh!) But you can recognize 'em by the look in they grill You can smell fear on 'em like they lookin to peel Quick to tell d's on 'em dudes is lookin to squeal (Uh!) Julian got knocked and he ain't look for a deal One for the team is how you look at the field (Yeah!) But sh** it ain't hard to find when you lookin to ville [Chorus: Black Rob] (Pete Rock)
