Blue Scholars - Loyalty lyrics

Patience, understanding, loyalty, loyalty
Bayani, loyalty (got to have)

It's more than just a hobby or pastime
Cause 24 7 I'm representin' the Massline
Daily grind, 85, wonder why, maybe I'm
Way behind lately been occupyin' my mind
With the possibility this means we'll all end
With two albums and a handful
Of people I call friends
And friends I call my comrades
And comrades who stand
Together write a book 'till it ends
Indeed as we be headed in
Directions getting whole towns polarized
Either love it or leave it
Indeed I'm giving credit to the
Fam who believed it
Preceding the hype of the
Hyperbole of the media
Even though some people abandon ship


On the other hand some were skeptical quick
But now they quick to bandwagon up
Saggin' my pants at the cocktail
Party with the mayor
And later rockin' a party with
A thousand in the air
That's a beautiful thing
And if you're new to this thing
Don't front, ask a question, stay humble
Do your thing but just remember you ain't
Gotta prove a thing stand up or fall down
Thanks for listenin' y'all

Because I
Got your back even if you don't got mine
Grind in the dark when the
Clock strikes hard times
We ain't nothing if this
Bond ain't solidified
Give thanks in war time
That people still alive
Dignified soldiers who walk with
The spirit of 12
Million plus lost and found in this lyric
Sound man turn it till the whole town hear it
Either stand up or fall down
Now if you feel it stand up or fall down
Stand up or fall down
While the record goes round stand
Up or fall down stand up or fall down
Stand up or fall down
While the record goes round let the
Whole town know that it's us

Somebody tell me where the riders
And the soldiers are
Before they close the door and go
And start a colder war
I see 'em posted up in
Corner stores holdin' fort
Hopin' for a life from the
Crack of an open door and so the storm comes
To cleanse without warn
While the youth play with fire
Just to keep themselves warm
In a cold world, cold people
Playin' cold songs
Sold for spare change while the broke hold on
Why they call themselves right
But then act so wrong
Dollar sign challenge why the
Unemployment line long
No call for the blue collar gettin' low ball
It's a long climb just to
Get to petty bourgeois while we
Gettin' lifted but forgettin' that we fall
Hit and shake cause your movin'
But without the roll call
This is protracted struggle
Revolutionized patience
Bump this on your right wing radio station
And maybe crack a top 10
Daily rotation but until then
You can keep ignorin' what I'm sayin'
But just remember you ain't
Gotta prove a thing stand up or fall down
Thanks for listenin' y'all

Because I
Got your back even if you don't got mine
Grind in the dark when the
Clock strikes hard times
We ain't nothing if this
Bond ain't solidified
Give thanks in war time
That people still alive
Dignified soldiers who walk with
The spirit of 12
Million plus lost and found in this lyric
Sound man turn it till the whole town hear it
Either stand up or fall down
Now if you feel it stand up or fall down
Stand up or fall down
While the record goes round stand
Up or fall down stand up or fall down
Stand up or fall down
While the record goes round let the
Whole town know that it's us

Patience, understanding, loyalty, loyalty
Bayani, loyalty (got to have)
Patience, understanding, loyalty
(got to have)
