A.Y. - Stand Up lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: A.Y.] You hate life, that's what you say to yourself Everyday you look in the mirror you're doomed for your health Everyday it's the same, but you wouldn't ask for help Cause you're proud and nobody gets how you felt Nobody saw what you have seen You watch your life pa**ing just like a stream You would drink life like water but it gets to steam You are living a nightmare failing your dreams But let me tell you this, like this you're going nowhere Cause when it comes to this, not even your bros care We both know it for good, life ain't so fair If there is no way up, you gotta build your own stairs Friends would try to help you, but never see it You are too concerned about distrusting the even But Instead you are trusting the demons They make you feel depressive, what they want is evil [Hook: A.Y.] Please stand up for yourself, please stand up for yourself Don't tell me that you can't do it, cause I know that you can do it (Stand Up, Stand Up) Please stand up for yourself, just stand up for yourself Don't tell me that you can't do it, cause I know that you can do it (Stand Up, Stand Up) [Verse 2: A.Y.] You talk about your problems as if you got the only ones Many people have it worse, you are not the holy one You have brothers and sisters, so don't be dumb Even in this family, you are not the only son Be a greatful man, even if it's nothing What's nothing for you, for someone else is something Many children starve to d**h, food we're dumpin Now tell me about you're past and how rude you got jumped at Man I don't get you, but you don't get me neither Life ain't about being a depressive, aggressive creature It's not about the money, (yo) life has many features I had struggle too, don't get me wrong I'm not compairing either It's your additude of being sick of everything Cause in the end you should know that it won't solve anything So instead of looking at others that have the better things Try working harder and get 'em instead of wrecking dreams [Hook: A.Y.] [Bridge: Eric Thomas a.k.a. E.T. the hip hop preacher] He told the guru: "You know, I want to be on the same level you on." So the guru said: "If you want to be on the same level I'm on, I'll meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4am" He told the guy, he said: "If you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful." [Verse 3: A.Y.] Yo, instead of working you sleep, instead earning you dream But how could you achieve something with no self esteem You're waiting for your destiny, or help from the team But in the mans hands lays the supreme Stand up and work harder, stand up and be smarter It's never too late to chase what you wanna be part of In this world you are your only supporter The rest can help you when you are working much harder I know you're in a black hole, It just drags you back bro You try to escape the darkness but it keeps you tagged bro You think it's impossible but no one tried it yet though You felt pain, get a reward since you got that close So you need to do whatever to achieve your goal Become a precious diamond out of a coal Get rid of the bad inside you, to play the role And abuse the pressure arroud you to reach it all (reach it!) [Hook: A.Y.]
