Something
Andra Feat Pitbull Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can have all the money in your hands
All the possessions anyone can ever have
But it's all worthless treasure, true worth is only measured
Not by what you got, but what you got in your heart
You can have, you can have everything
What does it, what does it mean?

It all means nothing

If you don't stand up for something
You can't just talk the talk
You got to walk that walk, yes you do
It all means nothing
If you don't stand up for something
And I stand up for you
And I stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will

You do the best that, do the best that you can do
Then you can look in the mirror
Proud of who's looking back at you
Define the life you're living
Not by what you take or what you're givin'
And if you bet on love there's no way you'll ever lose
Take a stand, make a stand for what's right
It's always worth, always worth the fight

It all means nothing
If you don't stand up for something
You can't just talk the talk
You got to walk that walk, yes you do
It all means nothing
If you don't stand up for something
And I stand up for you
Stand for respect, dignity
If that's all you got, then you got all you need
And without that, you don't have a thing, oh, no, no

Rise up, love, lift your hands
I stand with you 'cause I understand
Ain't here to judge, just to take a stand
The greater plan's the Creator's plan
Let's all rise like the day began
Reach out and touch with the Savior's hand
On rock, we stand like this native land
Let the ways of love be the ways of man

And it all means nothing
If you don't stand for something
You can't just talk the talk
You got to walk that walk, yes you do
It all means nothing
If you don't stand up for something
And I stand up for you (stand up, stand for you)
I stand up for you (stand up)

And I stand up for you (stand up, stand for you)
Stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will (stand up)

Overall Meaning

Andra's "Something" talks about the concept of true worth and the value of standing up for something that is important. The song begins by expressing that having all the money and possessions in the world can be meaningless if you don't have something substantial in your heart. The message here is that true worth comes from what you carry within yourself rather than what you possess. It also highlights the fact that you can have everything you desire, yet it still means nothing if you don't stand up for something.

The chorus reiterates the song's message that it all means nothing if you don't stand up for something. The importance of having a principle or a cause to fight for is emphasized in the lines, "You can't just talk the talk, you got to walk that walk." The theme continues in the second verse, where listeners are urged to define the life they're living not by what they take or give but by the stands they take. The bridge encourages us to rise up in love, to stand with those who need us, and to let love be the ways of man.

Overall, "Something" is a call to action for individuals to stand up for what they believe in and to fight for what is right. The song reflects the need for purpose and values in life, regardless of the amount of wealth or success you may have.

Line by Line Meaning

You can have all the money in your hands
Even if you have acquired a lot of wealth

All the possessions anyone can ever have
And accumulated all the material possessions possible

But it's all worthless treasure, true worth is only measured
It all becomes meaningless because true value is not determined by material possessions

Not by what you got, but what you got in your heart
Instead, what truly matters is what you have in your heart and soul

You can have, you can have everything
Even if you have every single thing in this world

What does it, what does it mean?
It becomes irrelevant if you don't understand the true meaning of life

It all means nothing
Everything you have accumulated becomes pointless

If you don't stand up for something
If you don't have a cause to fight for

You can't just talk the talk
You cannot merely talk about change

You got to walk that walk, yes you do
You have to walk the talk and take action

And I stand up for you
The singer is willing to fight for the listener's cause

You do the best that, do the best that you can do
Always strive to do your best

Then you can look in the mirror
And when you reflect upon yourself

Proud of who's looking back at you
You should be proud of the person you see staring back

Define the life you're living
Define your life by your actions

Not by what you take or what you're givin'
Rather than your material possessions or what you've gained or lost

And if you bet on love there's no way you'll ever lose
Love is worth fighting for, and when you fight for it, you'll never lose

Take a stand, make a stand for what's right
Take a stand for what is right and just

It's always worth, always worth the fight
The fight for what is right is always worth it

Stand for respect, dignity
Stand to achieve respect and dignity for all

If that's all you got, then you got all you need
Respect and dignity are enough to live a fulfilling life

And without that, you don't have a thing, oh, no, no
Without respect and dignity, you don't have anything truly valuable

Rise up, love, lift your hands
Rise up in love and show your support by raising your hands

I stand with you 'cause I understand
I am with you because I understand your struggles

Ain't here to judge, just to take a stand
I am not here to judge you, but to stand with you

The greater plan's the Creator's plan
The grand design of the universe is planned by the Creator

Let's all rise like the day began
Let us all rise up with the same spirit as the beginning of the day

Reach out and touch with the Savior's hand
Let us all reach out and offer support, holding the hand of the Savior

On rock, we stand like this native land
Let us create a firm foundation on which we can all stand together like we belong to this land

Let the ways of love be the ways of man
Let us adopt love as the guiding principle of our actions as human beings

Stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will
The singer reaffirms their commitment to stand up and fight for the listener's cause
