"Stand Tall" lyrics

I can hear a voice inside
It's telling me to try to hold on
I tried to give it up
But then you put me back to where I belong
Now faced with a bitter rival
And it's a matter of street survival
We must all be subjected
To the words we don't want to hear

It was a game, now it's a war
We're not ashamed to want some more
Oh, stand tall

Time to prepare the masses
To counter what they had us believe
Bust heads and kick some asses
'Cause it is best to give than to receive
Break down these walls together
'Cause silly words won't last forever
We must escape the past
Can't spin our wheels to make it last

That's why the game was never won
It's all the same when said and done
Yeah, stand tall

Oh, all right!

Oh, it was a game, now it's a war
We're not ashamed to want some more, oh!

That's why the game was never won
It's all the same when said and done
Yeah, stand tall
