Stand Your Ground
Black Tolex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You worked through all this trouble now you left the past behind
You're winning, you're losing, you're learning You're living
Your life with inspiration, suffered and you've sinned and now
That it's over, you're older, you've learned to depend on your
Own actions you consider their point of view. Found strength in
A person and found out that person was you. This fight inside,
This battle without end with strength and motivation you'll
Never run again Never run away never run away, never run away,
You've got to stand your ground and see this through. From
Ignorance to competence this coupled with intelligence it's
Struggle and it's common sense this boy becomes a man It's not
Some of the time, it's not most of the time it's all of the time
Or none of the time its everything in everything, you do the best
You can You're never satisfied, you've got to see this through
This fight inside this battle without end with strength and
Motivation you'll never run again. Never run away, never run




Away, never run away, you've got to stand your ground and see
This through. Most of us spend a lifetime running away
