STAND - Kemba

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

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

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

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
