Stand Out - YONAS

I do this for my culture, no image to protect

Just broken down lives and broken objects

Disgusted with how far that my greedy eyes stretch

Preoccupied with fame cause I’m tryin' to be the next

No famous relative to help me with my master plan

Just family members that came overseas from other lands

Shit, I’ll fake a smile before I walk around depressed

Plus I want success I’m not accepting nothing less

They say a man is judged by the way that he provides

I don’t wanna have to die for people to realize

Followin' a trend to me is I’ll advised

Cause the world will judge you regardless of how you feel inside

Niggas say they fly but they ain’t touch the sky

They ain’t even off the ground, they just talkin' from their pride

It’s easy to reside in the valley where we walk

But it’s harder to think before you even get to talk

Before I lay my head to go to sleep

I say a little prayer for my soldiers in the street

Cause I don’t wanna die for people to realize

I’m looking for a sign but it’ll be alright

These damn gucci niggas got no love for us hoopty niggas

And all the wild groupie ladies wanna mooch our figures

Scorcese couldn’t make a better movie picture

Like Mumia Abu Jamal I capture all my listeners

Freedom is relative, I’m feeling like a prisoner

Every day I’m sicker cause I got dropped by SIGNA

Now it’s beneficial cards and mediocre service

And I’m startin' to go nuts the media’s a circus

They say here’s where all the meteors are headed

I love startin' drama, I’m learning how to dead it

I love doin' work and giving God all the credit

I live life wisely so I don’t regret it

I’m a supernova so my aura’s so magnetic

And every time I spit a verse it get’s eclectic

Gotta show these skeptics they could never critic

And if they wanna get it, they could get it

Before I lay my head to go to sleep

I say a little prayer for my soldiers in the street

Cause I don’t wanna die for people to realize

I’m looking for a sign but it’ll be alright
