Stand Lyrics by Riz Johnson

Modern Masquerade

2017

[DeeJay Gardner]
Sometimes I wake up on the wrong side of the town
And sometimes I speak out the wrong of my mouth
Sometimes I wait for a change, but it never comes my way
Until I stand
So, I stand

[Pre-Chorus]
See I try to get away, get away, get away
Oh I try to get away yeah
I try to get away, get away, get away
But I can't

[Chorus]
So I stand (I stand)
Oooh, (oh) I stand
Whooo, (oh)
I stand

[Riz Johnson]
I was born a legend, I was made to conquer
I was built to be a vessel of my father
I'm the walking proof that no weapon can prosper
Place it on the altar, faith will never falter

Pray for God's control and i'll be standing tall
Until they rest my soul and wait til heaven calls me
I can't sell my soul cause nothing here is promised
Nothing here is worth it, nothing here is honest

Nobody is holy, we a bunch of sinners
Trouble on my mind, I hope to be forgiven
Trouble always finds a way into my system
Every time I shine they find a way to dim it

I hate asking questions nobody can answer
I hate having answers nobody can handle
I got so much hate inside my blackened heart
That i might need to go and get my anger managed

Picture perfect candids, see me at my lowest
Liver killer bandit, drink it like i stole it
Told my mom I'm sober, I was in a coma
I was swerving heavy, I ain't have control
I made a life decision, stand up to addiction
Stand against the thought of something being missing
Stand and weather out the storm in these conditions
Stand up to the substance causing my conviction (yeah)
