Show Lyrics

New Breed - Stand
(from the album Stop the Music)
© copyright 2002

Verse 1: Elsie
Get up and understand
We all got our own demands
But rockin to the rhythm of life is in master plan
Music make the world go 'round
So Breed'll spark the show down
For heads to come and throw down
Before the tables turn
And Dert decides to burn down your speaker
With a track that'll leave ya speechless
TR's tryin' to teach this - lesson of living
God inspired - we givin'
Ya'll the freedom to move
Don't get the word confused
Experience needed
Down don't mean defeated
Those who tripped and retreated
Need to STAND
And throw up your HANDS
Thank God for the DJ and the microphone stand
Giving peace to heads born to play in a band
Cause we gonna rock it 'till your hands fall off and
We gonna talk it 'till our breath is gone and
We gonna live it 'till there's no more day
So everybody just.

Hook:
Stand when the rhythm drops
Move like you can't quit
Dance til the sunrise
Live to the fullest
Walk with your head up
Talk like your fed up
Everybody, everybody, everybody Get up (2x)

Verse 2: Raphi
Ignorance I trample, livin by example.
Used to be a gamble now I get a grip to handle
Everyday scandals of metropolitan life
I try to do right and walk by faith not by sight
Things start looking dark when you seen the light
Peepin cats sleeping deceit keeps creeping
But I'm knowing I'm sowing for future reaping
Leaping feelings in a single sound
Just bouncing around
You doubting my ground but know not what I do
Just heard a couple cuts done by me and my crew
Funny you should be more concerned about your own homie only you're not
So we got a predicament
And by the looks of it you in the thick of it
Being that me and flows be on microphones
In that 100% tight zone-out jump inside the beat
I slide around and write it down
I throw it up because we're taking it to higher ground

Hook:

Verse 3: Macho
If I could lift my voice and speak free for my culture
Speak the truth and won't care if I insult the
Analytical hypocrites the supposedly spiritual individuals who swarm like vultures
They tell me look but don't touch smell but don't taste
I'm in the prime of my life time I won't waste
Debating over who said what
The rat pack came to wake y'all up
I told the music speak to me
Cause I need a word for the people
The prophet at open microphones
Modern day steeple
I don't know it's like they lost the will to be alive
They ain't hungry to make it and they struggle to survive
Sometimes I travel the track for the right rhymes
Regain focus stop the music in the night time
And other days I just let it play
And it told me to drop it on the world this way like

(Hook)
Stand when the rhythm drops
Move like you can't quit
Dance til the sunrise
Live to the fullest
Walk with your head up
Talk like your fed up
Everybody, everybody, everybody Get up (2x)
