Lyrics Stand 4 Me - 7dashine

Yeah,
Who do you rely on?
Is it your mother
Cause she would always keep the lights on
Who do you rely on?
Is it your girl
Cause she would take you around in the Honda
When you were sleeping couch to couch
Who do you rely on?
Is it your cousin
Cause they were there when you wasn't
And to keep it a buck or nothing
Tell me, who do you rely on
Is it your brother
You know you could always trust him
He never judged you for nothing
And tell him, who do you rely on

Who do you confide in
You always start fighting
Trying to do the right thing
And always end up writing
The same damn songs
With the same damn guidance
Looking for a sign
But it seems like God ain't trying
I can see the light and
It ain't that pretty on the outside
We riding
Trying to get our vitamins
And we always staying up
You don't play my shit enough
Feeling like the city bout to set me up

A dumb ass rapper thinking that he better than me
Get me on the feature pay to get your ass beat
Here's your receipt
Every time I did you wrong
Wasn't weary of my tongue
Now that feeling's wearing off
Cause I never gave a fuck
And I never really cared
Cause if all of this is luck
Then I would never share
And my cousin keep it tucked
He's always been prepared
A boy that's on the run
Cause the city wasn't there for him

Be careful,
We pray for him
For your family,
Would you do anything for them
We stand for them
We seal for them
I'd raid your fucking place to make a meal for them

So before I finish this verse
I'ma leave you these words
To the future generation That don't know what they're worth
You can never be perfect
But it could always be worse
So let us gather round the city
Watch it burn

I need you to need me
no one said it was easy
Not enough to free me
I know

My soul so deceiving
Promise you wouldn't leave me

If I was facing a verdict
Would you still stand for me
Or would you throw me out after you call me family
Say it's ride or die
Then after you abandon me

I guess this shit happens to show
Who's really there for me
I'm playing devil's advocate
What would've happened
If I end up in the paper For some shit that's really tragic
And would you speak fondly of my name Or would you damage it
Would you cherish our friendship Or would you banish it uh
If it went down tonight
Then I'd be right by your side
Riding dirty,
Staying hungry
Never lose the appetite
But you switched up quick as fuck
When you thought you had the right

I guess that I'm the only one
Who really stands by my words
Throw me to the curb
It was all a blur
I can't hear your words
Would you still be here
If the money wasn't earned?
Or if they pulled up on me right now
With the...

I need you to need me
no one said it was easy
Not enough to free me
I know

My soul so deceiving
Promise you wouldn't leave me

At the end of the day, do you stand for them
At the end of the day, do you stand for them
At the end of the day, do you stand for them
At the end of the day, do you stand for them
