Stand Up Lyrics - Vyp: Voice Of The Young People - Lil' Mama

Why don't you come around, my way (way) my way my way (way) my way (way) [x2] 

Why don't you come around? 

Uh, Uh, Uh, why don't you come around (way, way, way) why don't you come around 

Walking down Williams through Mart and Blays (mart and blays) 

on it Big Steps where I used to play (used to play) 

The girls in the park gotta lot to say (lot to say) 

Them girls over here threw they life away (life away) 

Cause they got babies and they just now hit (just now hit) 

They double numbers they mothers promoting this hit 

The boys on the court playing basketball (basketball) 

They baby fathers they rather be boys and that's all 

H dub Stand up! (uh) 

BK Stand Up! (uh) 

East Coast Stand Up! (uh) 

You should 

Come around my way [x2]

I'm from a place in Harlem 

Where the streets they look like Africa 

And the trees are in better condition than the homes so abandoned 

P S 197 

Where I study my academic stare run 

And the books so worn and torn I can't thank 

How they tried to cripple me 

and the students along side of me 

Thank god I had a good teacher on the side of me 

Showed me the right thangs to do 

Overcame these obstacles 

H dub stand up for the things that we've been through ooh

You should 

Come around my way [x2] 

Photos 

Here we got these buildings called projects but they ain't three stories 

They fill about ten on the block 8 per floor go up by twenty 

Stories I tell be true story kids cut school and watch Maury 

Like if they ain't intellect in what's affecting my life I can't respect them 

But that's just they way of the ghetto 

People who come from where I'm from get it 

But we still gotta make a difference 

Stand up tall so the world can get it 

Teach kids pride nested of "Outside" 

Show another side and they show gon' rise 

Stop letting responsibility fall 

I can tell you ain't been around my way at all 

Why don't you come around (way) 

So you can see what my (way) 

Eyes been seeing why (way) 

Why don't you come around 

Where we need directions (way) 

Respect neva the lesson (way) 

Way, why don't you come around 

My way (way) my way my way (way) my way (way) why dont you come around [x2]
