corey paul - 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 p-ss 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 p-ss 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?!
[hook: corey paul]
for little girls, stand
for little boys, stand
for battered women, stand
for weak men, stand
for murderers, stand
for dope-battered, 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]

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
[verse 2: corey paul]
a few years later and a few inches taller
the little boy ain’t so little
and he got kicked out of two schools already
and the one he’s on to won’t deal with him
plus brittney boyfriend just quit her
so she gotta try lucky number four
and if four don’t work, she gon’ move to number five
that don’t work, she gon’ try one more
her goal is to find someone that love her
her bro think she a fool trying to find love
he say, “love ain’t never ever looked for us
so why you waste your time looking for love?”
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 sucks, 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!ll me
oh, jesus, save me”
so 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
