Stand
Sev Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're better off dead, when justice starts to fly
'Cause it knocks you down,
And when you're trying to get up
The mad boy surrounds you, so come on what's up
We are the children of the earth they say
And our implausible motive is to seize the day
As the stereotypical push it
What does it all mean, this path tone deaf scream
Don't stereotype me,
'Cause you're walking on a tight beam
But talk all the talk in your dreams unseen
Be all you can be in the Army, well that's not me
Where did it all go, who will ever know
That these times in my mind forever moving so slow
So don't be so fake, your voice has to break
Through the barrier unseen with no mistakes
Just jump in the air
Everybody over there
To the people over there
And everybody everywhere
I find in my mind this stations overdrive
That these voices I hear, never have to hide
From these crippled ass punks trying to be like solo
So why even try when you know that you can't go
There, when your bitch ass looks turn to stare
Glare, I turn it back boom in the air
150 miles an hour, speed up and crash
You gotta fucking bullet for your ass
We are the children of the earth they say
And our implausible motive is to seize the day
An eternity, it would take us to regain our strength
As the stereotypical push it
Just jump in the air
Everybody over there
To the people over there
And everybody everywhere
Stand straight, head strong
It takes, not long
Stand straight, head strong
It takes, not long
Sev, Sev now stand to attention
Like Mr. John Holmes, I've got the erection
For you, score you, didn't mean to ignore you
But waiting, contemplating, gets you in a 5.0 folder
Depending on the ending,
I can turn the situation around
Change up location, take it underground
With a big ass house, fine ass girl
Plenty of dough, and by the way, look who's going pro
