Avelino, Dave - U Can Stand Up / Royal lyrics

"U Can Stand Up"

This is the story of rap, riches and glory
I came from nothing
I never knew winning was for me until

Never had love but I had heart
We still did it from the damn start
When you're living in hell need a gas mask
Just to exhale all the fumes of your bad past
Yeah, they want me dead I'm so alive
Ironic how death's got me feeling so alive
I kinda had to be Muhammad on the mic
'Cause when reality hit's it's like
Tyson in his prime i want Mayweather money
I want Mayweather money
'Cause we spent days in the gully
Cars are full of youts and cartels
I was raised in fuckery and now
I get paid for the fuckery (Um)
My cousin he just phoned me up for 5 bills


And even though the rent's more than 5 bills
I can still go and lend him the 5 bills
'Cause I make money off ideas that's ideal
Yeah

But for the youts them though
We don't wanna lose no hope oh no no no
They say knowledge is power
You don't wanna know
What we had to go through
Did it for the dough make money, take money
Ballin' on a budget why you tryna fake money
Popcaan in the party tryna
Get this Drake money
And patience is a virtue
They don't wanna wait for me though

You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you
You can stan' up
I'ma turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah
The youts them are gunners
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you
You can stan' up
I'ma turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah
The youts them are gunners

I don't promote that
New song, I tell my PR "promote that"
'Cause I ain't under control, I'm remote fam
Even though I'm on telly I just wish
I could show my old man
Yeah, I show my momma though
And she don't love my songs
But I love her though, yeah
Rap god, I think I'm one of those
Blacks and whites fall for
Me like it's dominoes, yeah yeah
Been places I didn't wanna go
From late nights in the 15
I've been on a roll
And now they wanna roll with me
When I'm going in they don't wanna go with me
Never crack under pressure though
I know nitty
Made dirty money with some bad boys no Diddy
Stop phoning me I'm tryna answer my calling
I stay woke I don't know what the morning is
Yeah

But for the youts them though
We don't wanna lose no hope oh no no no
They say knowledge is power
You don't wanna know
What we had to go through
Did it for the dough make money, take money
Ballin' on a budget why you tryna fake money
Popcaan in the party tryna
Get this Drake money
And patience is a virtue
They don't wanna wait for me though

You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you
You can stan' up
I'ma turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah
The youts them are gunners
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you
You can stan' up
I'ma turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah
The youts them are gunners

The hustle comes separately it's not provided
It's probably why them kids
Can't stop the violence
We both got dots on either side of this line
'Cause it's real hard time
When your block's divided
We got bills to be paid
And beef on our estates
Every other day we got police on our case
So if a chance comes you
Better seize the opportunity
'Cause most of us grew up in
A planet full of apes
Call that cannon Jahannam
Tryna send a boy to space
Or hell, take him outta this world
When you're writing your will
Are you tryna leave that buss down
Car here for your girl
What the fuck is the deal?
Invest it into yourself
Have faith in your craft
'Cause we're the same kids that
Made change off of plants
The struggle's in our nature
We just gotta learn to use
The rules that they
Gave us and know when to break them

None of the youts them are runners
All of them are their own bosses
They've got runners
You can't tell me about no losses
I've lost loved ones
Couldn't count on nobody, now I do numbers
Now I do numbers i'll do
Numbers till I'm humongous
Big enough to help the notorious
They just hustling
I ain't ready to die for no reason
If you kill me I'll die but that's treason ey

You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you
You can stan' up
I'ma turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah
The youts them are gunners
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you
You can stan' up

"Royal"

Praise to the most high
Room full of smoke, I'm the most high
Visionary, had to go blind
All these dope lines came up
Off of dope lines
They want me ridin' on my enemies
But I'm ridin' to the NME's
Jeopardiser, that's a Jeopardy no bad energy
Man, I feel amazing
I'm just tryna turn all this
Space into a spaceship
All I ever wanted was the
Merc with the face lift
Now I'm tryna go one better than greatness
Yeah in my life 'til death do us
Part if you're in my life yeah
We're royal, royal yeah
We're royal, royal yeah
We're royal, royal
