[Chorus - YONAS]
When I look back at all the moments in my life
I found all the things I need are deep inside (But they don’t, they don’t know)
And I could probably wait forever for my time
Or believe this is the season to take what’s mine (They don’t, they don’t know)
Because you’ve gotta stand for something, or stand for nothing
So right here inside the sand, I draw the line (They don’t, they don’t know)
[Verse 1 - Zuby]
Chyea, yo. We started from the bottom, never lived to be forgotten
From a seed until we blossom, every day we’re living awesome
The jealous steady plotting, till we make them fall like autumn
If you see me on a boat, not on the way to picking cotton
Tell me that I'm brave, but not a soldier, I'm a rapper
I just want ‘em to be saved, preach from the scripture like a pastor
Winning to the grave, smile in the midst of a disaster
I could never be a slave because I'm owning every master
See me graduating from a rookie as a teen
To a hustler on the scene, to me living out my dream
I don't I have to overthink it, I just tell ‘em what I mean
Now I've got fans amongst the greatest living thinkers on the scene
Leaders cannot be the sheep, beaming like a lighthouse
Selling on the street to having meetings in The White House (Chyeeea!)
And I know every fire dies out
A million to inspire, I can't sleep until it's lights out
[Chorus - YONAS]
When I look back at all the moments in my life
I found all the things I need are deep inside (But they don’t, they don’t know)
And I could probably wait forever for my time
Or believe this is the season to take what’s mine (They don’t, they don’t know)
Because you’ve gotta stand for something, or stand for nothing
So right here inside the sand, I draw the line (They don’t, they don’t know)
[Verse 2 - YONAS]
Yo, check it. On this balcony, down in Miami writing my life
These penthouse views about as high as my flight
Far from the dark, gotta keep that out of my life
Close to the sun, that’s how I supply you with light
A piece of the pie, I just want to find me a slice
If I was you, I wouldn’t try me tonight, that’s right
‘Cause I was made to crack codes and design abstract flows
That save black souls from falling in black holes
Light years ahead of light years, when I’m channelling these ideas
You just gotta show me where the mic is
I went from not affording my bills like “where the lights is?”
To lighting up the world without looking at what the price is
And this ain’t braggadocious, this is average Joe ****
Inspiration when your cab approaches
And your destiny’s your driver and you have emotions
The same ones I had when I wrote this. Yeah
[Chorus - YONAS]
When I look back at all the moments in my life
I found all the things I need are deep inside (But they don’t, they don’t know)
And I could probably wait forever for my time
Or believe this is the season to take what’s mine (They don’t, they don’t know)
Because you’ve gotta stand for something, or stand for nothing
So right here inside the sand, I draw the line (They don’t, they don’t know)
[Verse 3 – Zuby]
Listen. Yo. I'm waking up at seven trying to make my niche richer
Losers hating from eleven, better off as ditch diggers
Got family up in heaven and it makes me think bigger
So I'm plotting more than seven now I'm seeing six figures
It started with a vision, a dream or premonition
Inspired intuition, nobody gave permission
The system's gonna crush you if you don't make the decisions
So I put my faith in God, I don't put faith in politicians
Now I'm travelling the world, just to speak and take it easy
To these little boys and girls, you can reach your dream believe me
To haters taking shots, I know you truly want to be me
If I die, stand on my grave, and still you fools will be beneath me (Chyeeea!)
Popping where you've ever been, hustled where you’d never win
Rocked it where you’d never din, and paddled where you’d never swim
So all your jabs are so irrelevant
A kitten to a tiger, man, a peanut to an elephant
[Chorus - YONAS]
When I look back at all the moments in my life
I found all the things I need are deep inside (But they don’t, they don’t know)
And I could probably wait forever for my time
Or believe this is the season to take what’s mine (They don’t, they don’t know)
Because you’ve gotta stand for something, or stand for nothing
So right here inside the sand, I draw the line (They don’t, they don’t know)
