Stand firm
Xikidi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ITS A SHAME TO MENTION THAT WE IN A HUMAN RACE
DONT THINK YOU HAVE IT SO U CAN DROP ME DOWN
OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE SKY
AND U'LL FOUND THERE'S A PLACE FOR ME
MY LACK OF ABILITY
DOES'NT MEAN THE FALL OF A MOUNTAIN
I STAND, I STAND FIRM
AND NOTHING CAN SHAKE MY ROOTS
I STAND, I STAND FIRM
NOTHING GONNA TAKE MY DIGNITY YEAH X2
ITS A SHAME TO JUSTIFY
WHY U DONT KNOW THE TRUTH
ITS A SHAME TO JUSTIFY
WHY U DONT KNOW YOUR END
(OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE SKY
AND U'LL FOUND THERE'S A PLACE FOR ME) x2
Chorus
Do do do do do do do do x4
