Stand Behind The Music

No you don't stand a chance
For a second in my world
The same old song
You won't last long
If you can't stand behind the music
All the fame, all the girls
All the money in this world
They don't mean shit, better admit
If you can't stand behind the music

So stand up
Show 'em how we do it
Won't back down until I see your
Hands up
Hit them with the new shit
Stand behind the music

You gotta get behind
Cross your heart, hope to die
Splash a hype
Dash a pretty that don't mean I'll buy
Okay alright already
I'm getting blinded
From all the frauds, all the phonies, all the fakes
Slow down
It's the best place for
Breath, breath
Look my face and to me say
"who the hell am i?"
Look me in the eye
Is this conviction or addiction or a waste of time?

Just name a genre
Yeah I've tried that
Been doin' this from 15 to life shit
I need a break already
I gotta find it
And for the first time in my life, I'm doing my shit
I, I, I, I can't stand this
Pop tart candy
Girls getting famous, getting naked, gettin' round it
Chew it up
Make my teeth rot
You think I'm talkin' to ya?
I'm probably not, nah

No you don't stand a chance
For a second in my world
The same old song
You won't last long
If you can't stand behind the music
All the fame, all the girls,
All the money in this world
They don't mean shit, better admit
If you can't stand behind the music

New York
When I was a teenager
Lookin' for a label and a little clean danger
Had an appetite for (new adventure)
Open every 'do not enter'
Yeah I was tryin' hard to be somebody
Be the cool kid at the party
Lookin' at me laddy daddy, hottie hottie, hot tamale
Stranger feelin' up my body
Told me I could be somebody
Wait,
someone stop me, went home, and I called my mommy
Hell no, I'm not that girl
I still wanna be the leader of the f*cking free world
Yeah I'm a big dreamer
I'm a believer
Just try to tell me no, I'ma go full steam with it
No, can't slow me down
I built this house from the inside out
Block by block from the bottom to the top
I know just who I is
And I know just who I'm not

No you don't stand a chance
For a second in my world
The same old song
You won't last long
If you can't stand behind the music
All the fame, all the girls,
All the money in this world
They don't mean shit, better admit
If you can't stand behind the music

So stand up, show em how we do it
Won't back down until I see your hands up
Hit em with the new shit
Stand behind the music
Stand up, come on let me see your
Front row (up) to the nose bleeders
Hands up, if you really need it
Stand behind the music

No you don't stand a chance
For a second in my world
The same old song
You won't last long
If you can't stand behind the music
