Stand Up! |
| They double numbers they mamas promoting this here |
| The boys on the court playing basketball (basketball) |
| They baby fathers they rather be boys and that’s all |
| Blays Rd. |
| Stand up! |
| (uh) |
| Pre K Stand Up! |
| (uh) |
| East Coast Stand Up! |
| (uh) |
| You should |
| Come around my way |
| I’m from a place in Harlem |
| Where the streets they look like Africa |
| And the trees are in better condition than the homes so abandoned |
| P S 197 |
| Where I study my academic stare run |
| And the books so worn and torn I can’t think |
| How they tried to cripple me Understood the lost side of me Thank god I had a good teacher on the side of me Showed me the right thangs to do Overcame these obstacles |
| Haters stand up for the things that we’ve been through ooh |
| Blays Rd. |
| Stand up! |
| (uh) |
| Pre K Stand Up! |
| (uh) |
| East Coast Stand Up! |
| (uh) |
| You should |
| Come around my way |
| Here we got these buildings called projects but they ain’t three stories |
| They fill about ten on the block april flow go up by twenty |
| Stories I tell be true story kids cut school and watch Maury |
| Like if they ain’t intelect in what’s affecting my life I can’t respect them |
| But that’s just they way of the ghetto |
| People who come from where I’m from get it But we still gotta make a difference |
| Stand up tall so the world can get it Teach kids pride insted of «Outside» |
| Show another side and they show gon’rise |
| Stop letting responsibilty fall |
| I can tell you ain’t been aroung my way at all |
| Why don’t you come around (way) |
| So you can see what my (way) |
| Eyes been seeing why (way) |
| Why don’t you come around |
| Where we need directions (way) |
| Respect in every lesson (way) |
| Way, why don’t you come around |
| My way (way) my way my way (way) my way (way) |
| Blays Rd. |
| Stand up! |
| (uh) |
| Pre K Stand Up! |
| (uh) |
| East Coast Stand Up! |
| (uh) |
| You should come around my way |
| You should come around |
| Uh, Uh, Uh Uh, Uh, Uh |
