Lyrics

You need something to be
So they got something to see
Man, I'm just trying to be who I am
So paint the picture you need
'Cause I'mma stand where I be
With my fist up in the air
You gotta stand for the things that are most realistic
Not the fake body image chicks with the lipstick
Pricks with the cheap ideas on the hit list
No chill, nothing but a clip like a porn flick
It's part of the modern world
Like a finger in the throat to the modernistic girls
She trying to look like a magazine
I'm trying to be what you mad and please
They gave her something to be
And when she didn't live up, she came running to me
I said, "How we ever get free
If we can't feel self with self-belief?"
So selfishly, I stand by me
And by stand by, I mean believe
And if I die and no one grieves
At least I can say that I believed, come on
You need something to be
So they got something to see
Man, I'm just trying to be who I am
So paint the picture you need
'Cause I'mma stand where I be
With my fist up in the air
I could say what it's not, but man, what it is
Might be beyond our reach, we gotta give
Something to the fact that we only trying to live
And the focus is given to do that and though keep us
And I ain't preaching, I ain't no saint, man, I'm just seeking
Something to be in, somewhere to stand, something to believe in
I raged against the machine, hate the rave-only
Rapped about the scene and smoked a lot of weed
Acted out the dream, living in the schemes
And I still rock the floor with NME MC, yeah
They want the nicest for the radio
I make nicest, now maybe you can pay me, yo
But they calling him a sellout, what's all that about?
You need something to be
So they got something to see
Man, I'm just trying to be who I am
So paint the picture you need
'Cause I'mma stand where I be
With my fist up in the air
You need something to be
So they got something to see
Man, I'm just trying to be who I am
So paint the picture you need
'Cause I'mma stand where I be
With my fist up in the air, yeah, yeah
