Redrama – Stand Strong
Verse 1
My tired face looking out the window
My sins go way back so I hope God's payback begins slow
Had it with bimbos
in pink mink coats, trying to be blingo
Guys who stress code dress codes, looking like dildos
I ain't good, I ain't bad people
I battle evil
so I need the fast life like I need a smack needle
Strange how the dark side attracts me, too
They try me, and bribe me, but then tax me, too
Through my eyes the world look like a mad zoo
Love got cancelled
while hate got advanced and improved
I'm short and skinny
so bad move, having this bad attitude
Probably why I lost my front teeth on the avenue
Hook
You don't wanna let 'em get ya head down
Rock your boat but you ain't gwan drown
You stand strong on ya own two
Never let them asshole control you
Bridge
Keep ya standard high don't ever let them break ya spirit no
'Cos every chance they gwan get they gwan try to steal ya soul
Put on ya x-ray vision and y'all see that everything dat glitter ain't gold
You inna crossroad, but you gwan keep ya fire burning it won't get cold
Verse 2
These last past few weeks
barely have money to eat
Too much heavy shit on my mind to sleep
Steadily trying seek
a way to make ends meet
My weary feet
got me locked up inna dead-end street
Life got me fucked up on liquor and weed
staying sober sort a tricky for me
Don't really fit in this week
I'm paranoid my imagination as sick as can be
but I'm hard-headed my force field is heavy like bricks be
So if you talking shit about me? I'm like go for it
But why when my ass is around you got your nose in it?
Mind your own business and wipe
that stupid grin off your face
you mad fake
I can tell by your handshake
Don't need the whole world
only need what a simple man crave
If I can't have it I am starting a rampage and it's on / 'til I can't stand straight
Need a new landscape
The whole world be moving at a too fast pace
Ain't got a last ace up my sleeve for getting through this
I'm a long way from a genius, but I'm even further from stupid
Mental scars and bruises is hard to cope with
You know this, of course, if your home is broken
I can't say I believe in God so it's odd and hard to pray
I do believe in demons, though, so it's hard to say
Just want a calm day to calm me
down the sound in my heart stay saying it'll be ok
Hook
You don't wanna let 'em get ya head down
Rock your boat but you ain't gwan drown
You stand strong on ya own two
Never let them asshole control you
Outro
Hell a be froze over
Before I be walking around with cold shoulders
I fear no longer
No no, 'cos I've grown stronger
