STAND BY... by NXT MOVE Lyrics
[Intro: The Acapella Company & Christopher Syncere]
What the world must see
Is for you and me (One hunnid)
Ayy (J-J-Jaylen did it again, hey!)
[Verse 1: Christopher Syncere]
Processin' my mind space, how I’m feelin', uh, uh, yeah
Top ten, I'm on all tens, so I’m fieldin', uh, uh, yeah
It's folks' way too enslaved to what they been buildin', uh, yeah
Slave to the money and women, but inside your purity spillin', uh
I gotta praise God for all of them days of depression
God was teachin' me lessons, can't believe where my head is
Can’t believe where I’m headed, all them hard days was destined
I'm gettin’ younger the more that I'm runnin'
I feel like Benjamin Button
I signed a deal all 'a sudden we cousins?
Promise I don’t owe you nothin'
They wasn't with me when I was wakin' up at 3 A.M. just to catch the bus and make it to work
This for the kid who been grindin' and seein' no fruit
Notice he's gotta grow from the dirt
You gotta know what you worth, you got a blessin' from birth
God got a plan for your hurt
Take it from us, we was down bad
But the meek gon' inherit the earth
Christopher
[Interlude; The Acapella Company]
What the world must see
Is for you and me
What the world-
[Verse 2: Coop]
Look
I grew up on Disney and rap, I'm puttin' on for the kids who relate
Show 'em the nature of bein' yourself
Maybe I'm aimin' for pavin' the way
You let the pride to your head, now you top-heavy
Already I got the bops ready, on a mic I'ma rock steady
Free fall, Tom Petty, oh Lord!
I remember bein' ten and contemplatin' I was writin' a novel
Turns out the story that I was unfolding was Christ in the Bible
That's why it's His story, man, look what He did for me
I'ma do it for His glory, so I keep a pen on me
And there's nothin' the devil can pin on me, I'ma tell him to get off
Me and Chris like Talib and Mos Def and most definitely the closest
No protest, I must profess that I'm a professional
Do more reps with no stress
And maybe I'm a little overworked
I made it out the mud like a rose from the dirt
Oh, you ain't heard 'bout the Son of Man who rose on the third?
Man, close out the verse, Coop
[Interlude: The Acapella Company, Henrik & Both]
What the world must see (Yeah)
Is for you and me
What the world-
[Verse 3: Henrik]
They didn't know I was rappin' like that, I gotta rip it apart
They want the fame, women and money and chains
I wanna hear 'bout the heart, we gotta start
I used to walk into class and play em a song and they started laughin' (Yeah)
I had to get on the gas, gave it to God, then I started spazzin' (Facts)
I think I'm sick in the head again
I know the doctor, he gave me the medicine
Look at my circle, I stay with my brethren (Yeah, yeah)
I'm in my element, element, element, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Everybody wanna rap like me, huh (Uh)
Wanna pop off, get clout like me (Woah)
They think my life so classy, but I know the things that they don't see (Yeah)
I'm eating ramen for every meal (Yeah)
I gotta hustle to pay for the bills (Woah)
I could have stayed in the college (Woah, yeah)
And lived in my comfort, but that ain't the way that I'm built (Woah, yeah)
I used to sit in my home, my friends would party and smoke
I used to feel so alone, I gotta bring 'em the hope
I gotta bring 'em the hope, yeah
[Outro: The Acapella Company]
