Rapsody
Stand Tall
[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse]
Readin' Sufi
Say, "Time is money," coinin' Rumi
Didn't invent it—just paid attention and listened to what Umi said
"Shine your light"—bags are bags no matter if they Tumi brand
Judgment's on me; they wonderin' if I'm a "Eat the coochie" fan
All because I choose to style in sneakers and some baggy pants
Used to make me aggy, wanna black out like the Aggie fans
I suffer from anxiety
Doctors probably tired of me
Tryna meditate to calm my heart—it's racin' like a ambulance
So I ain't got no answers; you can beliеve what you choose
I'm tryna focus on sleepin' at night without wakin' up panickin'
Steph lost hеr father—I'm tryna be here for my friends and them
Mees lost her father—I'm tryna be here for my friends and them
Free my spirit so I ain't lookin' in the mirror, seein' Candyman
Though I right hook, kick, push, fight through life like Ms. Hanigan
Either you Annie or you Anakin
You gon' shine or fade to black as a result of all yo' damages
I learned life like bike rides—we gotta handle it
Visits with my auntie, my uncle ashes on the mantelpiece
Her tears never stop— it's like the cycles on a rinse-repeat
I'm cut from that cloth, so every day's a mental cleanin' spree
Navigatin' through this business, tryna find some decency
But you only wonder if I eat coochie or like some dick in me
Y'all need to read Dick Gregory, bitches
Yeah
[Chorus]
Okay! Damn, damn, damn
Ain't gon' let y'all even trigger me, huh—bam, bam, bam
Days I do, I'm true to bounce back though—sham, sham, sham
God, forgive me when I fall short, tryna stand, stand, stand tall
Uh! Damn, damn, damn
I ain't gon' let y'all even trigger me, yeah—bam, bam, bam
Days I do, I'm true to bounce back though—sham, sham, sham
God forgive me when I fall short, tryna stand, stand, stand tall

[Outro]
Tell the truth, not even one time
Tell the truth
Not even one time
Tell the truth
Tell the truth, not even one time
Tell the truth
Now, tell the truth
