Stand Tall
Pro Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's telling me to try to hold on
I tried to give it up
But then you put me back to where I belong
Now faced with a bitter rival
And it's a matter of street survival
We must all be subjected to the words we don't want to hear
Were not ashamed to want some more
Stand tall
Time to prepare the masses
To counter what they had us believe
Bust heads and kick some asses
Cause it's the best to give than to receive
Breakdown these walls together
Cause silly words won't last forever
We must escape the past
Can't spin our wheels to make it last
That's why the game was never won
It's all the same when said and done
Stand tall

I can hear a voice inside
There's a voice within that's urging me to go on
It's telling me to try to hold on
This voice is imploring me not to give up
I tried to give it up
I tried to quit before
But then you put me back to where I belong
But you helped me get back on track
Now faced with a bitter rival
But now I'm confronted with a tough adversary
And it's a matter of street survival
And it's a fight for survival in these tough streets
We must all be subjected to the words we don't want to hear
We have to listen to the harsh truths we'd rather not hear
It was a game, now it's a war
It used to be a simple game, but now it's a full-blown war
Were not ashamed to want some more
There's no shame in aspiring for more
Stand tall
Hold your head high and don't back down
Time to prepare the masses
It's time to ready the people
To counter what they had us believe
To push back against what they've made us believe
Bust heads and kick some asses
Fight hard and decisively
Cause it's the best to give than to receive
It's better to take matters into our own hands than be passive
Breakdown these walls together
We need to demolish these barriers as a united front
Cause silly words won't last forever
The manipulative rhetoric won't hold up indefinitely
We must escape the past
We need to move on from the past
Can't spin our wheels to make it last
We can't exhaust ourselves trying to hold onto what's gone
That's why the game was never won
This is why we could never win this game
It's all the same when said and done
Ultimately, the outcome will be the same
Stand tall
Maintain your dignity and integrity through it all

Listening to pro-pain takes me back so good, it actually makes my aches and pains of old age disappear.
