Xzibit - Stand Tall lyrics

[Chorus] Sometimes it all just come together, you know? I put my city on my back, now And push the haters in the background Together we walk, but divided trough the struggle, we fall Got my city on a map, now That's why I could never back down Never back down, show 'em through it all You gotta stand tall To all of my friends, enemies and affiliates Burn the back wood, burn it back to your fingertips Let the whole world recognize this accomplishment You couldn't have told me none of this back in '96 The ability to crawl upon the bottom, this b**h This is our time I'm spending mine up in this b**h I still remember the very moment I was enlisted I studied on the sadistic, gangster is worth the business And when there's blood in the streets from my brothers and sisters They wanna debate on television about the victim Right or wrong, Treyfa was my little man I would take a chainsaw to z...? my man [Chorus] For all the moments I wasted on making others happy Attack me, I'm bulletproof, tag me, I've seen the virus through I never lied to you, still rolling with golden views Spend every word and I mean it, mean it and I really buy to you 'Cause I'd rather be in hell than a jail cell I'm hanco*k, superheroes lend me co*ktails I never feel, don't try to patronize me I learn, I'm painfully aware of everything in my surroundings I am shaved, fully shining, never touched the silver lightning The only cross that I bear is covered with some f**ing diamonds I hear my city calling, here come the jogging Now are twelve hundred soldiers in the parking lot [Chorus] So, failure ain't an option How do you think I made it out that corner apartment? Turn my corner to my market, and now I target the same n***as That taught on all that dumb sh** Because when the gun clicking That bullet leaving can't get that life back Karma is a b**h and believe me, she'll get it right back They say that success is the best revenge But who really wins if we all die in the end If I had it all, then I probably wouldn't pray the same And the club that I come from sticks the debt with the pain My name good in every corner in my city You don't believe me, then come f** with me [Chorus]
