YONAS - Stand Out lyrics

I do this for my culture, no image to protect
Just broken down lives and broken objects
Disgusted with how far that
My greedy eyes stretch
Preoccupied with fame cause I'm tryin'
To be the next no famous relative to help me
With my master plan
Just family members that came
Overseas from other lands
Shit, I'll fake a smile before
I walk around depressed
Plus I want success I'm
Not accepting nothing less
They say a man is judged by
The way that he provides
I don't wanna have to die
For people to realize
Followin' a trend to me is I'll advised
Cause the world will judge you regardless
Of how you feel inside
Niggas say they fly but they
Ain't touch the sky
They ain't even off the ground
They just talkin' from their pride
It's easy to reside in the
Valley where we walk
But, it's harder to think before
You even get to talk

Before I lay my head to go to sleep
I say a little prayer for
My soldiers in the street
Cause, I don't wanna die
For people to realize
I'm looking for a sign but it'll be alright

Before I lay my head to go to sleep
I say a little prayer for
My soldiers in the street
Cause, I don't wanna die
For people to realize
I'm looking for a sign but it'll be alright

These damn gucci niggas got no
Love for us hoopty niggas
And all the wild groupie ladies
Wanna mooch our figures
Scorcese couldn't make a better movie picture
Like Mumia Abu Jamal I
Capture all my listeners
Freedom is relative
I'm feeling like a prisoner
Every day I'm sicker cause I
Got dropped by SIGNA
Now it's beneficial cards
And mediocre service
And I'm startin' to go nuts
The media's a circus
They say here's where all
The meteors are headed
I love startin' drama
I'm learning how to dead it
I love doin' work and giving
God all the credit
I live life wisely so I don't regret it
I'm a supernova so my aura's so magnetic
And every time I spit a
Verse it get's eclectic
Gotta show these skeptics they
Could never critic
And if they wanna get it, they could get it

Before I lay my head to go to sleep
I say a little prayer for
My soldiers in the street
Cause, I don't wanna die
For people to realize
I'm looking for a sign but it'll be alright

Before I lay my head to go to sleep
I say a little prayer for
My soldiers in the street
Cause, I don't wanna die
For people to realize
I'm looking for a sign but it'll be alright
