We'll Stand

Uh food for the babies
Respect for the ladies
Everyone gets yeses and no’s, there’s no maybes
Consolidated effort to steer us from destruction
Justice plays equally to mitigate corruption
Skills tied
To those that lack action
While boom bats react to the sound of satisfaction
Everyone assisting, everybody gettin' traction
And pricks like Donald Trump pay their motherfuckin' taxes
Healthcare free, exist to serve a people
Paid for by the rules of god
Taxin' all the steeples
War no more, bitch shut down and reprimanded
There’s peace in the streets in Mid East Goddamnit
Said a place we can go, not an impossible goal
And if we reap what we sew, yes pick good seeds to grow
Start a new fold
Do away with the old
Responsibility of action is what’ll change the globe
Said this is what I’m workin' on, it’s thicker than just talk
Earnin' what I’m learnin' 'till I’m liquor on the sidewalk
The truth is what will set us free
Freedom I can’t let it be
Feel like I was handpicked to rock the message steadily
I keep it real as I, stand and deliver
All the messages I’m keepin' ready in my quiver
Stay prayin', stay grindin'
And I stay knowin' the deal
Said I might never be famous
But at least I keep it real
We might, fall on this road
But we’ll stand
Yeah, we’ll know said
We might, fall on this road
But we’ll stand
The path of righteousness lead to clear conscience
You pick debauchery get swallowed by the nonsense
They workin' on my crap, even if I’m underrated
My biggest blessing in life, my kids think I made it
While waitin' for someone to tell us that we’re good
As long as we steady doing better than we thought we good
I used to only hope that I would one day rock a party out
Now I’m trying to bring you to God, excuse my potty mouth
But fuck anything that ain’t serve my soul
Helpin' me grow, helpin' me show, helping me know
That this is all a simulation, this is just a test
Don’t need to be popular, I need to be the best
And not just on the mic, but as a partner to my wife
And as a parent and a leader and all aspects of life
Acknowledge that my plan ain’t an easy one to sell
So I might never be famous, but at least I’m outta Hell
We might, fall on this road
But we’ll stand
And yeah, we’ll know, said
We might, fall on this road
But we’ll stand
And yeah, we’ll know, said
We might, fall on this road
But we’ll stand
And yeah, we’ll know, said
We might, fall on this road
But we’ll stand
(Outro)
An honest duty as far as I’m concerned is to reflect the times
I think that is true of of painters, sculptors, poets, musicians
I, uh, as far as I’m concerned is that choice
But I choose to reflect
The times and the situations in which I find myself
That, to me, is my duty
I, I, and, and in this crucial time of our lives
Where everything is so desperate
When every day is a matter of survival
I don’t think you can help but be involved
Young people, black and white
Know that so so that’s wh-why they’re so involved in politics
We will shape and mold this country
Or it will not be molded and shaped at all, anymore
So I don’t think you have a choice
You how can you be an artist and not reflect the times
