Stand Up
Wiz Khalifa Lyrics

Listen, I came in the game feet first
I entered the entertainment industry determined to succeed from the start.

Hit the ground runnin', a hustler til I meet dirt
I work tirelessly until I can no longer continue, always pushing myself.

Gotta be consumption I'm pumpin', the people need work
I provide what is in demand and necessary to the people, constantly hustling to supply their needs.

Love the niggas frontin' I came from nothin' and seen worse
I am not impressed by those who flaunt their wealth or success, as I have come from humble beginnings and faced greater challenges.

The long-armed khalifa reachin' with each verse
My long reach expands with every word I speak in my music, able to touch a wide audience.

I got that food for your thought, plus what the streets thirst
My music provides not only intellectual stimulation but also resonates with the raw realities of the streets.

And you can ask around the haters'll know,
Even my detractors are aware of my success and impact in the music industry.

I'm tame with the flow, I'm sorta like the jaeger and blow
My flow is controlled yet powerful, much like the precision of a hunter and the intensity of a drug.

I see the dream like a martin luther,
I have a clear vision of what I want to achieve and inspire change in the world, much like Martin Luther King Jr.

I preach to the constitution in peace,
I advocate for change within the system, nonviolently pushing for progress.

But violate it, get that ass annihilated
However, I will not hesitate to use force to defend my beliefs and those of the people.

I'm on the grind, money is time so why waste it
I work hard to make the most out of my time, understanding the value of money and the potential it holds.

And everything but my piss clean, I'm high maintenance
I take pride in myself and my work, demanding the best of myself in every aspect except for passing drug tests.

You niggas are weak, sweet like one of them now-and-laters
I see my competition as inferior and too soft, like a piece of candy that quickly loses its flavor.

The canon blast your candy ass if you try and hate it,
If you come at me with negative energy or try to undermine my work, I will retaliate fiercely.

I made it, cause I stayed a couple steps ahead of y'all and
My success comes from staying ahead of the competition and always being proactive in my career.

A hundred percent, since Benji got the bread involved I'm,
I am fully invested in my career and have been since earning significant money.

Lovin' this shit, come fuck with the prince,
I am passionate about my work and encourage others to collaborate and join me in my success.

I'm leavin' heads hollowed like them things stuffed in the clips
My lyrics have a powerful impact, leaving a lasting impression on those who listen much like the empty casings left in gun clips.

And the streets gon' remember this cat name, I'm beatin' the rap game
My name is going to leave a lasting mark on the music industry, as I continue to climb to the top as a rapper.

Just like nigga huggin' the strip (why?)
Similar to a hustler on the street, I am determined and focused on achieving success with every move I make.

Cause that's how a hustler do, fall back I don't fuck with you,
As a hustler, I know how to navigate the industry and weed out those who are not beneficial to my goals.

We make it happen the clappin' know we can scrum with you
With hard work and dedication, my team and I will rise to the top and face any challenges that come our way.

Yeah we can take it to the heads, give you a lump or two
If necessary, we can physically defend ourselves and come out on top.

A fool is still, team bring heat like a oven dude
Those who underestimate us do so at their own peril, as my team is strong and hot like an oven, ready to cook up success.

[Chorus: x2]
Throughout the chorus, there is an uplifting message to stand up for oneself and pursue success with positivity and determination.

Once again the youngest sin came to drop the hammer
I am back and ready to make a significant impact in the music industry once again.

How could a bystander feel that this is not bananas?
My impact in the industry is undeniable, and even those who are not directly involved can see the power of my work.

We earn stripes, you all hype in that propaganda,
My team and I have worked hard and earned our success, unlike those who rely on hype and publicity to gain attention.

Gats spot, you cats shot, but not from cameras,
My opposition may try to come at me with violence, but it will not be caught on camera or promoted for publicity.

Back glock, cause snap shots'll stop your plan up,
To protect myself and my goals, I am always prepared and ready to take action if necessary.

Stuck in my ways, the haze taste like Tropicana,
I have my ways of doing things, including my affinity for smoking, which has become a familiar and comforting routine.

Thinkin' the days of way back, people will say that,
When looking back on my journey and success in the industry, it will be evident that I worked hard and stayed true to myself.

The youngin' was gifted sick when he stayed back
Even when I was younger and not fully established, my talent and potential were evident to those around me.

Now the people listenin' play back, I got it made
My music has gained a significant following, and I have achieved a level of success that I am satisfied with.

Obligated to gettin' passin' grades and blaze tracks,
Along with my success in the entertainment industry, I prioritize my education and continue to work hard academically.

You'll be amazed at how I make units move
My work ethic and impact in the music industry are impressive and inspiring to many.

Self-made, twelfth grade, boy I'll take you to school
I am a self-made success story, and my early education and drive have played a role in my accomplishments.

I'm through the streets of pistolvania where my goonies move,
My roots are in Pennsylvania, where I have faced many challenges and risen to the top with the support of my team.

? can't miss these trucks with the rims on them
My flashy vehicles are a symbol of my success, and impossible to ignore when they come rolling by.

And you can find me speedin', listenin' to big and em,
When I am on the move, I am listening to influential and important artists who inspire me and my work.

Fresh outta class with the weed tucked in my timberland's
Even when I am in school, I am dedicated to my work and carrying my passion for music with me everywhere I go.
