STAND MY GROUND

[00:13.59] I don't really recognize geniuses
[00:16.51] All I see is eliminated weaknesses
[00:18.33] Hard work that improves broken sequences
[00:20.26] Focus on the good, no grievances
[00:22.06] Dig deep, tell me what your definition is
[00:23.99] Stand tough, show me what your vision is
[00:25.72] When life takes away your innocence
[00:27.58] Can you remain virtuous instead of villainous
[00:29.58] Even if a dream is improbable
[00:31.26] Doesn't mean that your dream is impossible
[00:33.14] For your destiny you are responsible
[00:34.93] Simply remove all the obstacles
[00:36.84] When it comes to work I never mess around
[00:38.77] For my family I would lay my body down
[00:40.45] I could face any challenge that happens now
[00:42.39] Cause I know myself and I stand my ground
[00:44.28] Stand my ground, do my thing
[00:46.43] I don't need permission
[00:47.96] Stand my ground, do my thing
[00:50.10] Following my vision
[00:51.67] Stand my ground, do my thing
[00:53.68] Dealing with the cards that I been dealt
[00:55.31] Stand my ground, do my thing
[00:57.57] I believe in myself
[00:58.90] My thoughts, my reasons, I'm faithful to my values
[01:02.65] I know hard work pays off, I've seen dreams come true
[01:06.44] You can't make life move faster than it's moving
[01:10.25] Patience will make sure that your life is improving
[01:13.88] In school they teach a lesson and then you're given a test
[01:17.48] In life you get the test first and from it learn your lesson
[01:21.25] Always give your best and never forget
[01:25.07] That sometimes the worst things turn out to be blessings
[01:30.47] People want it easy, they take it easy
[01:34.18] Giving themselves measly goals to be achieving
[01:37.83] Never really keeping the promises they're speaking
[01:41.53] Falling for the easiest options but not me
[01:45.38] Stand my ground, do my thing
[01:47.56] I don't need permission
[01:48.92] Stand my ground, do my thing
[01:51.27] Following my vision
[01:52.62] Stand my ground, do my thing
[01:54.76] Dealing with the cards that I been dealt
[01:56.20] Stand my ground, do my thing
[01:58.57] I believe in myself
[01:59.93] I remember a time with no internet
[02:01.76] People helped each other for no benefit
[02:03.46] We did the right thing 'cause it was the right thing
[02:05.31] Nowadays that's rarer than being struck by lightning
[02:07.49] And I know that it's hard to feel useless
[02:09.13] In a world that is sometimes ruthless
[02:10.92] I can tell you that there have been mornings
[02:12.47] When I woke up covered in blood and in bruises
[02:14.72] When I feel like the world is against me
[02:16.53] When I feel like I'm running on empty
[02:18.24] When I feel like my mind isn't working
[02:20.13] When all that I feel is uncertain and hurting
[02:22.09] When I get scared and I'm covered in shivers
[02:23.99] When I start doubting that I can deliver
[02:25.80] When I'm so tired and craving the big sleep
[02:27.77] Here's what I do, I just dig deep and...
[02:29.56] Stand my ground, do my thing
[02:31.73] I don't need permission
[02:33.14] Stand my ground, do my thing
[02:35.44] Following my vision
[02:36.82] Stand my ground, do my thing
[02:38.77] Dealing with the cards that I been dealt
[02:40.68] Stand my ground, do my thing
[02:42.80] I believe in myself
[02:44.04]
