STAND

[Verse 1]
I’m fully aware that I’m not perfect but I try
I still try
I still try
You can see my feelings on the surface I can’t hide
But I still try
I still try
I don’t even really wanna get to know you
Statistics show one of us might go soon
No I don’t even reallywanna get to know you
Because I can’t take no more heartbreak

[Chorus]
I can’t stand to see my brothers die
I can’t stand to read my sisters will
I can’t stand to see our mothers cry
I can’t stand to see my niggas killed
I’m too young to see the other side
I can’t stand to read my sisters will
I can stand to lose another life
I can stand to see their killers live

[Verse 2]
I know the game
Just what it seems to be
Won’t be no peace treaty
Shit don’t come to easily
I know the devil
I battle him frequently
Don’t treat me special
No, just treat me equally
I know the (Woo) I know the game
Special achievement for putting them rings on me
Air out my grievances
Stop us illegally
Can’t have no weaknesses
They’ll try and feast on me
Anxious just seeing it
U-turn and leave me be
Don’t try and speak to me
Won’t be no kee-kee-kee
How can you preach to me
You don’t believe in me
You ain't that innocent
You ain't no deity
Nothing but blue
Guess the water run deep at sea
Discipline missing
Tradition run deep I see
Show me some decency
I know the game it’s hard to believe it can change

[Chorus]
I can’t stand to see my brothers die
I can’t stand to read my sisters will
I can’t stand to see our mothers cry
I can’t stand to see my niggas killed
I’m too young to see the other side
I can’t stand to read my sisters will
I can stand to lose another life
I can stand to see their killers live
