[Intro]
[Verse 1: A.Y.]
You hate life, that's what you say to yourself
Everyday you look in the mirror you're doomed for your health
Everyday it's the same, but you wouldn't ask for help
Cause you're proud and nobody gets how you felt
Nobody saw what you have seen
You watch your life pa**ing just like a stream
You would drink life like water but it gets to steam
You are living a nightmare failing your dreams
But let me tell you this, like this you're going nowhere
Cause when it comes to this, not even your bros care
We both know it for good, life ain't so fair
If there is no way up, you gotta build your own stairs
Friends would try to help you, but never see it
You are too concerned about distrusting the even
But Instead you are trusting the demons
They make you feel depressive, what they want is evil
[Hook: A.Y.]
Please stand up for yourself, please stand up for yourself
Don't tell me that you can't do it, cause I know that you can do it (Stand Up, Stand Up)
Please stand up for yourself, just stand up for yourself
Don't tell me that you can't do it, cause I know that you can do it (Stand Up, Stand Up)
[Verse 2: A.Y.]
You talk about your problems as if you got the only ones
Many people have it worse, you are not the holy one
You have brothers and sisters, so don't be dumb
Even in this family, you are not the only son
Be a greatful man, even if it's nothing
What's nothing for you, for someone else is something
Many children starve to d**h, food we're dumpin
Now tell me about you're past and how rude you got jumped at
Man I don't get you, but you don't get me neither
Life ain't about being a depressive, aggressive creature
It's not about the money, (yo) life has many features
I had struggle too, don't get me wrong I'm not compairing either
It's your additude of being sick of everything
Cause in the end you should know that it won't solve anything
So instead of looking at others that have the better things
Try working harder and get 'em instead of wrecking dreams
[Hook: A.Y.]
[Bridge: Eric Thomas a.k.a. E.T. the hip hop preacher]
He told the guru: "You know, I want to be on the same level you on."
So the guru said: "If you want to be on the same level I'm on, I'll meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4am"
He told the guy, he said: "If you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful."
[Verse 3: A.Y.]
Yo, instead of working you sleep, instead earning you dream
But how could you achieve something with no self esteem
You're waiting for your destiny, or help from the team
But in the mans hands lays the supreme
Stand up and work harder, stand up and be smarter
It's never too late to chase what you wanna be part of
In this world you are your only supporter
The rest can help you when you are working much harder
I know you're in a black hole, It just drags you back bro
You try to escape the darkness but it keeps you tagged bro
You think it's impossible but no one tried it yet though
You felt pain, get a reward since you got that close
So you need to do whatever to achieve your goal
Become a precious diamond out of a coal
Get rid of the bad inside you, to play the role
And abuse the pressure arroud you to reach it all (reach it!)
[Hook: A.Y.]
