Chronic – Gon' Stand Lyrics
[Intro]
Sometimes life's a bitch, it knocks you down
But sittin' ain't gon do anything, stand up
You know, stand up
[Verse 1]
Yeah, say hello to Lawrence, his life nothing but fuckin torture
Chewed up, shit out, ate back up and spit out
Once a spoiled rich kid soiled with riches, father's ridges pulled in the bitches
Nothin' more he could ask for, every room adorned with a plasma tv
Soon enough his luck would run up, hoes got dad diagnosed with HIV
Couple years later he passed away, R.I.P.
Lawrence sent to live with his godfather, took shit for granted
Turn of events drove him to madness, banished from the upper echelon,
Son feels neglected, no longer protected like the Pentagon
Pushed over the edge, sent to live in the inner city
One hell of a ride, personality barely made it out alive
Tried to fit in, changed his mentality, shit just resulted in another fatality
Beat up in the alleyway with no chance to retaliate, once royalty now white trash, always getting kicked and picked on
Through the hostility he gained the ability to rhyme, weaved stories, caught any listener in the web
Thing is, Lawrence straight pussy, no wonder he needs protection from the people tryna take advantage of him
The flame has been lit, time to end the bullshit
He found his calling, with rap he finally has a chance to stand up
[Hook]
Royalty to white trash, tired of being kicked in the ass, he better stand up
Teacher's pet, head of the class, he better stand up
Tired of the bullshit, kid about to do shit, he better stand up
Knocked down, but he gon stand up
Royalty to white trash, tired of being kicked in the ass (STAND UP)
Teacher's pet, head of the class (STAND UP)
Tired of the bullshit, kid about to do shit (STAND UP)
Knocked down, but he gon stand up
Sometimes life's a bitch, it knocks you down
But sittin' ain't gon do anything, stand up
You know, stand up
[Verse 1]
Yeah, say hello to Lawrence, his life nothing but fuckin torture
Chewed up, shit out, ate back up and spit out
Once a spoiled rich kid soiled with riches, father's ridges pulled in the bitches
Nothin' more he could ask for, every room adorned with a plasma tv
Soon enough his luck would run up, hoes got dad diagnosed with HIV
Couple years later he passed away, R.I.P.

Teacher's pet, head of the class (STAND UP)
Tired of the bullshit, kid about to do shit (STAND UP)
Knocked down, but he gon stand up
