Behind The Music

No, you don't stand a chance

For a second in my world

The same old song, it won't last long

If you can't stand behind the music

All the fame, all the girls

And all the money in this world

They don't mean shh, better admit

If you can't stand behind the music

So stand up, show 'em how we do it

Won't back down until I see your hands up

Tell 'em what the truth is

Stand behind the music

You gotta get behind

Cross your heart hope to die

Splash of hype, dash of pretty

That don't mean they'll bite

Okay, alright, already

They getting money

All the frauds, all the phonies

All the fakes, slow down

It's a fast paced world (breathe, breathe)

Look my face in the mirror

Say, "Who the heck am I?"

Look me in the eye

Is this conviction or addiction or a waste of time?

Just name a genre, yeah, I've tried it

Been doing this from 15 to life, yeah

I need a break already, I gotta find it

And for the first time in my life, I'm doing my shtick

I, I, I, I wanna stand in this pop star frenzy

Girls getting praised, look at Nicki, look at Katy

Chew it up, make my teeth rot

You think I'm talking to you? I'm probably not, not

No, you don't stand a chance

For a second in my world

The same old song, it won't last long

If you can't stand behind the music

All the fame, all the girls

And all the money in this world

They don't mean shh, better admit

If you can't stand behind the music

Re-re-rewind, when I was a little younger

Looking for a label and a little clean danger

L.A. had a taste for a new adventure

We opened every "do not enter"

I was trying hard to be somebody

Be the cool kid at the party

Looking at me laddy, daddy

Hottie, hottie, hot tamale

Stranger sizing up my body, told me I could be somebody

Wait, someone stopped me

Went home and I called my mommy

I know I'm not that girl

I still wanna be the leader of a f-f-free world

Yeah, I'm a big dreamer, I'm a believer

Just try to tell me "no", I'ma go full steam ahead

No, can't slow me down

Gonna run this town from the inside out

Block by block from the bottom to the top

I know just who I am

And I know just who I'm not

No, you don't stand a chance

For a second in my world

The same old song, it won't last long

If you can't stand behind the music

All the fame, all the girls

And all the money in this world

They don't mean shh, better admit

If you can't stand behind the music

So stand up, show 'em how we do it

Won't back down until I see your hands up

Tell 'em what the truth is

Stand behind the music

Yeah, stand up, come on let me see you

Front row up to the nose bleeders

Hands up, if you really need it

Stand behind the music

No, you don't stand a chance

For a second in my world

The same old song, it won't last long

If you can't stand behind the music
