Stand Tall lyrics - Xzibit (feat. Slim the Mobster)

 Sometimes it all just come together, you know?

I put my city on my back, now

And push the haters in the background

Together we walk, but divided trough the struggle, we fall

Got my city on a map, now

That's why I could never back down

Never back down, show 'em through it all

You gotta stand tall

[Xzibit:]

To all of my friends, enemies and affiliates

Burn the back wood, burn it down to your fingertips

Let the whole world recognize this accomplishment

You couldn't have told me none of this back in '96

The ability to crawl up out of bottomless pits

This is our time I'm spending mine rockin' this bitch

I still remember the very moment I was enlisted

I studied on the sadistic, gangster is worth the business

And when there's blood in the streets from my brothers and sisters

They wanna debate on television about the victim

Right or wrong, if Treyvon was my little man

I would take a chainsaw to Zimmerman

Sometimes it all just come together, you know?

I put my city on my back, now

And push the haters in the background

Together we walk, but divided trough the struggle, we fall

Got my city on a map, now

That's why I could never back down

Never back down, show 'em through it all

You gotta stand tall

For all the moments I wasted on making others happy

Attack me, I'm bulletproof, hack me, I'll send a virus through

I've never lied to you, still roll with a chosen few

Spit every word and I mean it, meanin' I'll really body you

'Cause I would rather be in hell than a jail cell

I'm hancock, superhero slamming cocktails

I never fail, don't try to patronize me

Alert and painfully aware of everything in my surroundings

I am shamefuly shining, never touched the silver lining

The only cross that I bear is covered with some fucking diamonds

I hear my city calling, here come the juggernaut

Wit' twelve hundred soldiers in the parking lot

Sometimes it all just come together, you know?

I put my city on my back, now

And push the haters in the background

Together we walk, but divided trough the struggle, we fall

Got my city on a map, now

That's why I could never back down

Never back down, show 'em through it all

You gotta stand tall

[Slim The Mobster:]

So, failure ain't an option

How do you think I made it out that corner apartment?

Turn my corner to my market, and now I target the same Niggas

That taught on all that dumb shit

Because when the gun clicking

That bullet leaving can't get that life back

Karma is a bitch and believe me, she'll get it right back

They say that success is the best revenge

But who really wins if we all die in the end

If I had it all, then I probably wouldn't pray the same

And the club that I come from sticks the debt with the pain

My name good in every corner in my city

You don't believe me, then come fuck with me

Sometimes it all just come together, you know?

I put my city on my back, now

And push the haters in the background

Together we walk, but divided trough the struggle, we fall

Got my city on a map, now

That's why I could never back down

Never back down, show 'em through it all

You gotta stand tall
